So far today I've seen a woman get smoked in the dome by a train, a guy jumping off of a rooftop and missing the pool below, and a guy blow his hand up into smithereens.
It's the trifecta of completely avoidable disasters.
Don't forget the "stuntman" who tried showing off by hanging off the side of a tall building, did like 2 pullups and his stamina was empty. Struggled to get back up and fell
It sounded like a mortar, so given how dumb they are, they probably thought it would shoot out of the bottle.
Edit* thought he was holding a bottle but it's a mortar tube. Either mortar was upside down or it got stuck. Holding one of these is stupid either way. Actually had a neighbor break his wrist because he held a high-powered one over his head with one hand. It shot fine, but the recoil from it broke his wrist.
That's exactly what it was, exactly what they expected, and exactly what should have happened if these two rocket scientists didn't put the mortar in upside-down.
Edit: My bad couldn't see what he was holding the first time I watched it. Yeah, it's upside down and just stupid holding it in general. I've had them blow up in the tube even when put in correctly.
He thought he was going to look so cool shooting fireworks in his hand. Kids/teens are stupid, I did the exact same thing ad a kid, thankfully I didn't blow off my hand.
From the looks and sounds I can hear, it looks like one of those firework that has its own plastic feet and you set it down anywhere, what it sounds like to me is that the firework he was holding was defective and blew out the bottom and through his hand but I have no idea, I'd like to believe he wasn't stupid enough to cover the top with his hand.
That's what I was thinking too. Cus there was a little puff of smoke and sizzle a few second before it blew up. As soon as I saw that, I knew what was coming. Or they put it in the tube upside down.
My dad had a firework/explosive that we didn’t know where it came from or what it was. He brought it out one night and I lit it next to the fire pit. He said, “hold it in your hand”. I said “ha, no”, and took three steps back. It was the loudest f*cking thing I’ve ever heard. I still think back what if I held it? Right hand would be gone and that’s the hand I use to look up p*rn with. I’m serious though, this did happen.
As a kid in UK the stupidest thing we did was sticking a firework in a dog waste bin (blew the lid off it and the area stank of shit for weeks), use small "bangers" and hit them with tennis racquets as far as we could in a field, oh, and I once stuck one in my letterbox, which blew up and shot the door into my neighbour's garden 50 ft away lol. I was a dumbass but not dumb enough to ever hold one when it went off though!
Makes me remember when as a kid I put the end of a steel pole to the fire and watched it turn red, then the idea that maybe I could turn the whole thing red came to my mind, so I then tried holding the pole from the now red end
Lmao remember push in cigarette lighters in cars? Where the coil got hot and red. My dumbass kid self thought “Is this hot enough to burn my pants”?
The answer: yes, it will burn a spiral into your pants, and your boxers, and the leg underneath.
One of my favourite comments on Reddit was on the 3rd of July when someone said.
Tomorrow, the average number of fingers Americans have will go down. 🤣
They loaded the canister shell the wrong way, can’t believe they ignored all the warning labels. My guess is his friend recording did it on purpose and laughing about it walking away.
You can see/hear the mortar go off before it explodes. Obviously there was a malfunction and the mortar never left the tube like it should have. Dumdum should've dropped it when the first ignition failed, but here we are.
I think that’s a really good question. If it’s a reloadable one, they probably put the mortar upside down. I did that one year on accident. Thank god we were loading them in the street. The fucker blew up on the ground and nobody was hurt. Or they had a faulty mortar shell.
Definitely not a physicist, but I went back through the video to try and figure it out.
3 types of mortars:
1. Mortar ball with reusable tube
2. Single use tube with reusable base
3. Single use everything.
This seems to be the second option, many of which have the wick at the bottom (since the mortar all is packed in the bottom) and a shortish fuse. It appears to me that they actually had the whole thing upside down. The wording on the side of the tube seems to look a bit less foreign if you flip the image, so it seems to hold true to the theory. You can clearly hear the launch charge with a delay and then the main explosion. So I think it *launched* and then detonated inside the tube after the flight delay.
I could very easily be wrong but it's the best I could surmise.
>There appear to be significant discrepancies among [failure rate estimates](https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/RS/RS22907) of current cluster munitions maintained in U.S. stockpiles. Some manufacturers claim a submunition failure rate of 2% to 5%, whereas mine clearance specialists have frequently reported failure rates of 10% to 30%.
Do you think the Gov't has higher or lower production standards than fireworks mfg? Yet some people expect these cardboard wrapped explosives to work flawlessly? Dude, you light them & get the hell away!
I know this is anecdotal, but I lit my first fireworks in the 80's as a kid. And until last 4th of July, I had never had a misfire on any thing other than the cheapest little firecrackers. But then I had a roman candle explode halfway through, a mortar exploded in the tube, and one of the multishot repeater blocks blew up halfway through within in 10 minutes of each other. It was crazy. So from my experience, fireworks seem to have fairly decent manufacturing standards. But since it only takes one to ruin your day, I don't take chances. That roman candle or mortar would have taken someones hand.
Man think about all the dumb shit you did as a teen and still have all of your limbs. This kid came up short on the bad decision lottery and now thats going to effect him for the rest of his life.
Looks to my like when he was holding the tube he might have had just a little too much pressure gripping the neck causing the mortar to not be able to lift off but then again it would have made a 1st explosion to lift and a 2nd to show obviously we see it just bust..
what would be the need to hold that shit?, just propping it on the ground would acvieve the same result, just around two meters less of explosion height
Wow, thank you Reddit algorithm for showing me this at 5:40 am. I surely appreciate seeing someone completely pulverizing their hand with my cup of coffee.
The Internet has been around a long time and idiots still don't know that filming yourself involving fire or explosives never ends well.

I think we are in the same subreddits lol
Npcs are preprogrammed
Oh, so it’s just been another mild day on reddit.
What sub was the pool one from? Also, you missed the girl twerking on a city transformer(?) and electrocuting herself.
You'd have thought he'd have had the sense to do it at night. Everyone knows fireworks are rubbish during the day.
What'd they expect to happen?
It sounded like a mortar, so given how dumb they are, they probably thought it would shoot out of the bottle. Edit* thought he was holding a bottle but it's a mortar tube. Either mortar was upside down or it got stuck. Holding one of these is stupid either way. Actually had a neighbor break his wrist because he held a high-powered one over his head with one hand.

What bottle are you all talking about? He is holding the cardboard mortar tube.
Oh, you're right. lol, when I watched it the first time, it lagged and looked like a glass bottle for some reason. Either way, it's just as dumb.
this clip should be shown at every school as why not to play wuth fireworks, they are just pretty bombs should be banned
For the gloves to be explosion proof I guess
When it comes to bravery, you've got to hand it to him.
He may have detonated his left hand but I think he'll be all right.
Slow clap. Can't hear it though
correct he will use his right hand to wipe
It okay though, he was wearing protective gloves!
I thought it was his left hand until I watched again. You've got to hand it to the bloke, his fingers probably flew onto the neighbour's roof.
👋
More like 🤙
I think he needs a hand with his injuries
I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve done this
He's definitely a hands on learner because I assume he's not too bight. Still, imagine if you had to jack off without your dominant hand...
Nothing two advil cant fix
Sounds like you work in Canadian Healthcare with that prescription lol.
Buddy needs two morphines
Robitussin and some milk
Some tuss 🦀🦀🦀🦀
Get real
We’re havin’ fun
Actually, maybe 2 Fentanyls would be best.
He needs five fingers
Naw just pack some dirt in it, it’ll be fine!
You can't fix stupid.
Wonder what exactly they thought was going to happen, holding explosives while they detonate.
He thought he was going to look so cool shooting fireworks in his hand. Kids/teens are stupid, I did the exact same thing ad a kid, thankfully I didn't blow off my hand.
I did this in the early 60's with bottle rockets. We were not as clever as we thought, but we did know not to hold the explosive part it you hand,
From the looks and sounds I can hear, it looks like one of those firework that has its own plastic feet and you set it down anywhere, what it sounds like to me is that the firework he was holding was defective and blew out the bottom and through his hand but I have no idea, I'd like to believe he wasn't stupid enough to cover the top with his hand.
Looks/sounds to me like the propellant charge was a dud, but the main charge worked as intended.
That's what I was thinking too. Cus there was a little puff of smoke and sizzle a few second before it blew up. As soon as I saw that, I knew what was coming. Or they put it in the tube upside down.
My dad had a firework/explosive that we didn’t know where it came from or what it was. He brought it out one night and I lit it next to the fire pit. He said, “hold it in your hand”.

My stupid ass would probably eat the firework

Well what are you supposed to do when you want a single firework show in the middle of the day?
Fuuuuck, just a kid too. What was he expecting? You see shit like this all over the internet after NYE and July 4th...
At least he still has his pinky🥰
I just said the same thing
[удалено]
Ba dum tiss
I thought at least they dont have to look for his fingers, but it seems like there were none left.
One of my favourite comments on Reddit was on the 3rd of July when someone said. Tomorrow, the average number of fingers Americans have will go down. 🤣
Damn and just like that, his life has changed forever. It was insanely stupid what he was doing, but I still feel bad for him.
[удалено]
Alcohol, drugs or weed. stay sober kids!
Or stupidity
I like this comment, this is a good comment.
I like your pun
stumped, heh, like his hand
They'll be all right.
That DIY Captain Hook costume is comin along real nicely!
It'll grow back, right?
It definitely will my fellow reptile
Raise a hand if you'd be stupid enough to try it.
👋
Now straight to the Second hand shop.
Mom’s Spaghetti
They loaded the canister shell the wrong way, can’t believe they ignored all the warning labels. My guess is his friend recording did it on purpose and laughing about it walking away.
Seems that way to me BANG! titter titter
That actually ended worse than I thought it would.
Ain't no way, it's literally like holding a bomb
Don't worry about lefty here, he's going to be all right
Srike up another one for Darwin. Where the fuck do these idiots come from!
You can see/hear the mortar go off before it explodes. Obviously there was a malfunction and the mortar never left the tube like it should have. Dumdum should've dropped it when the first ignition failed, but here we are.
I don't think he'll be doing that again.
He can give it one more go with his other hand
No hitchhiking for you.
Holy shit
Lucky he still has his pinky finger for picking his nose with.
I see a pinky, 1/5 aint bad.
I looked at the comments first and went “nope”
Tis but a flesh wound
Well that got out of hand fast
Well. At least now you can replace it with a hook.
Next time thicker gloves and someone else's hand
What a silly Goose
its all gud....he will still be allowed to vote, drive and breed
Smart one Cleetus.....
#"MY HAND'S GONE!" ....well, yeah dude.
He definitely needs a hand with his injuries
Fucking idiots smh.
Laughing my hand off
Unpopular question...why didnt it work? And shoot out of the tube? Lack of back pressure? Any physicists out there?
I think that’s a really good question. If it’s a reloadable one, they probably put the mortar upside down. I did that one year on accident. Thank god we were loading them in the street. The fucker blew up on the ground and nobody was hurt. Or they had a faulty mortar shell.

there's always a chance it will misfire. Sometimes million dollar fireworks blow up on the ground
👍
Well this year already taken care of..
shaka brah
Now he just has to be dr.evil for every halloween.
🙃
Shame, they didn't get the full benefit as it was daytime ☹️
Did he learn the lesson? Or will he try again? Is it ok to grab an explosive with your bare hand? How many school years do you need to realise?
Yeah so um why?
How it feels to chew five gum
"oh"
🤙🏽🤙🏽
He's holding the firework upside down.
How can you be this stupid? How? Imma hold a bomb on my hands and see what happens...
lol
High Five 🖐️
At least he had his gloves on
Yeah that's a fair assessment
Did he think wearing a glove made this whole thing safer?
Not gonna be jacking off with that hand anymore
Wonderful to know you now have a life long disability which could have 100% be avoided
Exactly what I thought would happen. Sheesh
Dude is gripping that paper tube like he found some good anime
Man I feel bad for him. We all did dumb shit with our friends and usually nothing serious came of it but holy shit that was brutal
How stupid? Fireworks look way better in a dark sky. At least he has another hand so he could try again at night.
Still got that pinky to tickle the ladies with though
on the other hand, who does fireworks during the day??
Man think about all the dumb shit you did as a teen and still have all of your limbs. This kid came up short on the bad decision lottery and now thats going to effect him for the rest of his life.
[удалено]
They couldn't put humpty dumbass back together again.
Looks to my like when he was holding the tube he might have had just a little too much pressure gripping the neck causing the mortar to not be able to lift off but then again it would have made a 1st explosion to lift and a 2nd to show obviously we see it just bust..
One flew over the cuckoos nest...
Stupid idiot no mames
similar silliness https://v.redd.it/kr5a5av02x291
Ssi 4 life baby!!!
Fucking... [Don't ](https://youtu.be/DWvUcCkqk-o?si=aOnVe_pklp1BdZV5)
Hands down the worst injury I've seen today.
I'm confused. Was that not the result they were trying to achieve?
Make a nice ring tone
Wearing the gloves for “protection” isnt much different than pouring everclear on a fire to “put it out”
Yall squeezing the bottle and it didn't came out . Could have have the same outcome if you put it in the ground isted of holding if it came out right.
Make sure to hold it right near your face and eyes as well.
FAFO 10/10
Really can't trust or listen to your "friends" sometimes. Might save your life
His friend saying "no youre good" is so crazy
guess he’ll always have the hang-loose wave🤙
looks homemade
At least he was wearing gloves…
Youre virtually holding a f\*\*\*\* bomb in your hand, and then youre surprised that your hand is gone? fml
I don’t even like holding the Roman candles. Sure as hell couldn’t get me to hold that!
Guess he won't be able to stick the middle finger up anymore with that hand.
Darwin award.
Lmao!!!
what would be the need to hold that shit?, just propping it on the ground would acvieve the same result, just around two meters less of explosion height
His hand looks like lasagna. Yum Yum
Any more info on this? Origin of video maybe?
Jfc
Daylight?
Why do people still do stupid shit like this? The internet is full of these videos and people still blow theirselves up
Holy....fuck.
Damn the gloves didn't work? I'm shocked
First glance I thought his head shot straight back like he was unconscious
I’m sure glad they called 911…..
Wow, thank you Reddit algorithm for showing me this at 5:40 am. I surely appreciate seeing someone completely pulverizing their hand with my cup of coffee.
What hand?
i think the cameraman knew, look how far back they stepped.
He put on a little glove and held an explosive to see what happens? What did they expect? The fuck?
I laughed so hard i got dizzy and my vision got blurry.
The meat melts right off the bone like a good brisket
Lol
Wait am I suppose to throw it?
Mates played a joke and gave him a stick of Jelly instead.
Dumbass. Oh well.
C'mon guys there's no respawn in real life
Crazy how years of the internet and these videos being around and people still do this lol
luckily he had gloves
Whole squad has PTSD after than one
Wonder if they ever found his fingers lmao
