I hope ya'll have a good Fourth. But I feel the need to post this, lest someone here ends up on the news on July 5th.

1) Don't aim roman candles at other people.
2) Don't throw explosives at other people.
3) Don't stab someone with a sparkler.
4) Seriously. Don't stab anyone with a fucking sparkler!
5) Use one of the good lighters with a long barrel and trigger. Try to avoid using smaller lighters when possible.
6) If dousing a pile of fireworks with lighter fluid, use a trail of fluid and light it away from the pile.
7) 5 second fuses burn down in 3 seconds.
8) If you must have a Roman Candle War, use some sort of eye protection. Even if its just sunglasses.
9) M80s will remove your entire hand and probably a good chunk of your forearm.
10) If you see anyone not being safe, correct them. How would you feel if your son/daughter/dog/Xbox got part of them blown off?
11) Remember Murphey's Law.

By the way, i'm a huge Pyro myself. Just do it the right way so you can live to scare people next year. :biggrin:

M80's are roughly equivalent to a quarter stick of dynamite as I recall.

Common Sense or GTFO?
 
The sad part of it all is even with these rules in place, we know we are gonna hear about some fuck tard who went and hurt/got hurt because of fireworks.

It's part of that thing...

Oh crap what's it called? Natural selection, that's the one.

We only wish Darwin would take these poor souls away before they also injured others in the process XD
 
speaking of bad ideas and natural selection ....

 
dude, Roman Candle wars are the funnest part of the the 4th >.>

I dont think anyone is disagreeing with that, but the general consensus is that its a bad idea, and someone's bound to lose an eye or end up with singed hair XD
 
I watched the local fireworks from a bridge overlooking a highway and saw a bunch of folks pulling over to watch them...on the highway. Most of them had the sense to pull off into the emergency lane/rut/gravel, but one family decided to just park it in the far right lane of traffic. For a while it looked like there was going to be a different set of fireworks when the oil tanker had to swerve to another lane to avoid the idiots.

Stupid people are gonna get themselves in trouble on the 4th, it doesn't matter if you take away their backyard fireworks or not.
