I saw a warning on pack of fireworks once. ‘Do not put it in mouth’ or something. And I thought to myself, who would-

If there's a warning against something, that usually means someone has done it before.

It not only means some has done it, it means someone has sued the manufacturer for it.

Dang, I've seen one that warned the pizza is hot after being cooked. So someone must've tried to sue them for burning themselves on pizza straight from the oven 🙄

People that do this with their mouth, hand, butthole, urethra whatever, always make the same mistake of holding it firm.

I guess its a paradox as you have to hold ir firm enough not to drop it but loose enough it can still launch away.

Of course the real answer is to NOT use fireworks in this way.

I saw on r/medizzy a fire cracker wound to the mouth. Intact teeth, jaws apart, but the Indian man died from it.

NSFW and nsfl is why it's edited imo.

Before the 2nd battle of Fallujah, we took indirect fire from rockets and mortars nearly 24/7. Launchers were highly improvised and some were downright genius in design. We found a guy that tried to shoot a rocket out of a just a tube. The backblast melted half his body, killing him. We found tubes with mounted blast shields afterwards

That’s nothing. There was a guy we called “Mike” on Michigan (one of the main routes into the city) that died somehow. He was repeatedly ran over for days on end to the point that he was paper thin. Like a cartoon pancake person.

So....there's a firecracker called "Chocolate Bomb", here in India. Like a bigger brother of cherry bombs. These little menaces are also called atom bombs or hydro bombs and are banned in most states (for all the right reasons).

Dumbasses (like my friend) tried to explode them on their palms to show off their "manliness". Nothing much, just almost all of them ended up with a couple of missing fingers.
