Firework mishaps

Holy **** yamatitan.

Sparkler bombs are insanely awesome when they don't blow your leg off.

Yep that one had 256 sparklers in it with 10 rolls of electric tape.

OK, now i gotta Google up Sparkler Bombs to see how to make one (unless someone wants to let me in on the safest way to make one)! Note to self: Use longer fuse than they did!

Question: What about flaking all the sparkler stuff off of the steel rod and packing that in a tube? That way you wouldn't have all that shrapnel when it blew.

I had a huge bottle rocket break right after launching and almost lit my neighbors bushes on fire, also had a mortar tube get knocked over by wind and hit her trash can. Both were accidents and I tried to apologize to her, but she still won't even answer her door to me, 5 years later. Almost took my neighbors head off with a rogue rocket that was aimed properly vertical and then launched itself horizontally. Had multiple firecrackers blow up in my hand or near me, the typical roman candle wars as well. Even had some fun making heavy paper airplanes and attaching firecrackers or rockets on to them purely to see the resulting "BOOM!" And I think lastly, I stripped a hundred blackcats for powder and fuses, and I made enough Bic rockets to race, and quite the explosive charge.

This year I wised up and got a little more armored for the nephews coming over to watch the show.

Here is a pic of that sparkler bomb before they lit it:

Brent is apparently showing signs of an infection. Please keep him in your prayers that they can control it and not have to amputate his leg.

My looking at that picture they screwed up with how much sparkler they left sticking out the top. Another note Brent is around 6ft in the first picture so you can get a idea of how high that explosion was.

Yeah, i haven't made one In a while but we used to leave almost all of one sticking out.

Jesus.

Yea, but he could totally get a bionic leg now!
