Yes....but, to be super real about it there is something about signs and warnings that encourage people.
Case in point - *BUFFALO*
Surrounded by signs that say NO TOUCHY TOUCHY THA BUFFALO YO
Do not pet the buffalo
Do not get out of the car and take flash photographs with the buffalo
Do not agitate, molest, or fuck with the buffalo in ANY way
Aaaaaand every year there is a new video of someone getting *fucking murdered* by a buffalo.
Don't even get me started on DEATH VALLEY
keeerist people, it's in the *name*
A glove, not that it mattered. And the glove probably caused this. He was holding the tube in the gloved hand, he was unable to tell that he was pressing the tube against the shell. That first muffled pop, was the bottom base releasing pressure, instead of launching the shell. He had a second to realized was squeezing the shell in his fist, but again the glove blocked his ability to feel this. And the sausages are instantly done.
I've lit mortars and chucked em by hand into fields. When I was a kid we were left unsupervised with fireworks, I held one of those parachute dude tube shooters, impact sent my thumb through the plastic base plate. All fingers still attached. By pure luck.
Still though that was fucking stupid.
When I was around 11 we took model rocket engines, removed the black powder and put them in ping-pong balls, film canisters, etc. One day the fuze went out right near the bottom, and me, being a genius, went to relight it. Ended up with most of the skin blown off my thumb and 2nd degree burns all over my hand and arm.
Kept all my fingers though.
I used to tie triple shot mortars together and throw them down storm drains. The sound is pretty incredible and smoke would come from all the drains in a 500 foot radius. I was a real dingus in my teen years.
Redneck birth control
A girl pleads with her doctor after 4 kids in 5 years. "We can't afford birth control and he won't get off me, what can I do"
Doctor asks if her boyfriend likes fireworks and she say yes. "Great, buy this firework, it has an eight second fuse, get a few beers into him and tell him he has to count to 10 before he can drop it. She is a little confused but figures its worth a try.
Saturday night she surprises him with the gift, and he holds it in his right hand and lights it.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 he counts off his left fingers holding the firework in his right hand. Perplexed, he puts the firework between his legs and counts his right fingers 6,7....
the idea that the firework uses the bottom of its tube to push against the ground and propel itself upward has never in my life occurred to me. makes perfect sense now though. i'm guessing this is precisely how the guy who put one of these on his head died
If your that stupid to hold the bottom of a firework then you don't deserve hands. Maybe next time he will put it in his pants and fix the chances if him making more of himself
I will preface this, do not ever hold a firework that's isn't supposed to be held. Okay now the bottom of that mortar launcher is pretty solid, the tube is just cardboard. Judging by the fact only one hand got blown off I think if held up from the bottom with one hand and it would have work.
I know someone who blew thier fingers off playing with mortars, thier hand looked similar to the one in the vid. Left with a pinky and the thumb on one hand
It seems like the chances of a firework catastrophically failing goes up exponentially the moment it's being held while someone records it.

I grew up with a kid like this and, incredibly, his last name was Heffelfinger. His nickname was permanently Half-a-finger.
Sad thing is, supposedly someone threw an M80 or quarter stick over a building, and he picked it up not knowing what it was.
The guy knew the firework malfunctioned, after you heard the pop you heard ooh.. that moment was the the.. are we fucked? Then blast. Instant karma. That bitch got stuck
For as stupid as this was, this dude was clearly terrified. I just don't get why some people can't seem to understand risk vs. reward. He deserved to get taught a lesson, but it shouldn't have been in the form of watching his hand get blown off
This isn't about what he deserved. Nobody deserves to get their hand blown off. This is about the reality of physics and cause and effect. He lit an explosive and held onto it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Luckily, filming stupidity like this can teach many others the lesson.
Well at least when he jerks his gerkan ,it will feel like someone else is doing it .
Or is that when u sit on your hand first. Lol. Anywho hopefully he was a lefty already
Based on the way he’s holding the firework with with the “palm” of his right hand, I’m going to say he was already without digits. Furthermore, these is no way his hand would look like it does in the last take of the video and be a “preserved” as it is as well as a normal color.
If this were to have happened a few days ago, his hand would be bandaged and if not bandaged, extremely red and deformed due to the burns, etc.
What a stupid video
Was it the several seconds of silence? Because you generally can't feel traumatic injury right away. And if he got crap in his eye. It might have taken a couple seconds to feel his hand was missing.
But I took doubt it's validity.
The professional fireworks give off pretty colors without the extreme noises danger that these illegal ones do.
These illegal do NOT give anything pretty to look at, yet make horrible ear HURTING noise
How many times do we have to make the joke about July 3rd will be the last day some people have their fingers? Do people assume it's baseless memes?
If those people could read those memes, they still wouldn’t listen
If they ever figure out how to regrow limbs hopefully these people are forever disqualified from using that medicine.
It's funny because it's true.
Same with flaming shots…

I gotta hand it to him. Cuz I can't see the point. I'm stumped.
His hand gained independence that day.
No finger pointing in your assessment. Thumbs up.
Live action "Pinky and the Brain"
A new pickup line he can use is “hey, can you give your digits? I’ve lost a few of mine.”
OMG hilarious! High Five.....
Alright there, dad /s
Stop pointing fingers!
But wait, this guy wore gloves 🤣
A glove, not that it mattered. And the glove probably caused this. He was holding the tube in the gloved hand, he was unable to tell that he was pressing the tube against the shell.

you can clearly see a glove on each hand
They looked like normal gardening gloves and not no penetrating gloves. Thats his problem
cameraman knows whats up. he lights it and the GTFO
Bro he has to live with the fact that he blew his buddies hand off.
"Bro you blew my hand off! The one I use for spanking the monkey. The least you could do it help me out bro."
Perfect segway bro
Lifetime friendy

Think that guy blew his own hand off. No guilt from me.
I assure you that's a lot easier than living with the fact that he blew his own hand off
No…his buddy has to live with his own stupidity of HOLDING A FIREWORK.

I dont see how the pic can be from yesterday? It would surely be bandaged and covered in stiches and scabs.
This was an old video, I believe. Seems familiar to me, but the shot at the end is new. I honestly never get tired of seeing morons do this.
I pinky swear I won’t do it again….
Now hes as disabled on the outside as he is on the inside.
Bonus intersectionality checkbox though. This guy's going places
It’s a colorful explosive what the fuck do people expect to happen when you hold it lol
the idea that the firework uses the bottom of its tube to push against the ground and propel itself upward has never in my life occurred to me. makes perfect sense now though. i'm guessing this is precisely how the guy who put one of these on his head died
FAFO
If your that stupid to hold the bottom of a firework then you don't deserve hands. Maybe next time he will put it in his pants and fix the chances if him making more of himself
>If your that stupid you're\* 🤓
If him making more of himself.... Of* 🤓

Look at the username. They probably held fireworks once, too.

Lmao
No way that's the same guy
I know someone who blew thier fingers off playing with mortars, thier hand looked similar to the one in the vid. Left with a pinky and the thumb on one hand
Oh I believe that! I just think these are 2 different people
man to hand relationship takes a huge hit
Wack
Really sad kids are dumb enough to do this.
It's gonna make baitin' more difficult if that was his dominant hand
It seems like the chances of a firework catastrophically failing goes up exponentially the moment it's being held while someone records it. Brought to you by Carl's Jr.
Oh my gosh, the fingers should be gone now.
Why would anyone ever try this? It's a fucking explosive
Do you think he'll do it again with his other hand?
No he needs it for baiting
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This guy fucked around and found out.
I don't think you guys understand this sub.

Darwin award winner 🏆
Awesome
I hope this is fake
I guess there's a non-zero chance his gloved-hand already were missing fingers
I think they should make kids watch this at school ..... as kids we fucked about with them all the time . this could of been me too
Well, at least he has a really neat conversation starter about a really stupid time in his life.
It only took once for him to learn that.
Now that's his strong hand
Would it have been that much work to put it down? It didn't seem like much of an explosion, but I dont know what it takes to remove a hand
1,000,000 dollars evil laugh after
The guy knew the firework malfunctioned, after you heard the pop you heard ooh.. that moment was the the.. are we fucked? Then blast. Instant karma. That bitch got stuck
Hey baby, you like my pinky? I ain't got two for your pink, just one for the stink
Hahahahahaj ….now blow up the other one, it will amuse me
For as stupid as this was, this dude was clearly terrified. I just don't get why some people can't seem to understand risk vs. reward. He deserved to get taught a lesson, but it shouldn't have been in the form of watching his hand get blown off

Yeah, hopefully people might realize that explosives=bad
I started shaking my head when they lit the fuse 🤣🤦🏽♂️
Why couldn't he have tried holding it between his legs and do the world a favor.
Man I heard that first pop which is the ignition to fire out, bro should’ve dropped it then or just leave it on the ground like everyone else
I didn't watch to the end. Do you see the blown up stump?
Hahaha.
FAAFO
Loading the mortar backwards didn’t help.
Nah
Hahahaha do it again.
🧐 ??? Justice ???
You should see the guy from moonrocks
That guy gets to vote, too. He'll just have to do it one, handed now.
Light it and GET AWAY.
Dude, why.
The real question is, did he learn anything.
fucked around and found out!
At least now when he cranks it, it'll feel like a stranger doing it
Well at least when he jerks his gerkan ,it will feel like someone else is doing it . Or is that when u sit on your hand first. Lol. Anywho hopefully he was a lefty already
At least now, his brain cells match the number of fingers that he has.
Lesson, learned. ✅
Hope it hurt
Actions, meet my very close and personal friend: Consequences.
Next time, hold it in your mouth.
(Possibly) unpopular opinion: people like this want to damage themselves.
lol he kept the pinky
Its really not that bad, just regular wear and tear for a guy.
Now we know why fireworks were illegal for so many years
Based on the way he’s holding the firework with with the “palm” of his right hand, I’m going to say he was already without digits. Furthermore, these is no way his hand would look like it does in the last take of the video and be a “preserved” as it is as well as a normal color. If this were to have happened a few days ago, his hand would be bandaged and if not bandaged, extremely red and deformed due to the burns, etc. What a stupid video
r/iamverysmart
He regained full reproductive function
might as well asked the doctor to remove that finger then get into fisting
Why? Just why?
WHERES NSFW TAG?
Fuck off. What blood gushing, bone exposure, bullshit did you see?? Go fuck yourself......little baby.........are you crying? Will you be ok??
r/iamverybadass
I have doubts of this video’s authenticity.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. The guy in the final Pic has a way darker skin tone
I have doubts about your intellect.
And your naivety.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. The guy in the final Pic has a way darker skin tone than the first guy
Yet folks insist upon the RIGHT to Forcibly-Sleep-Deprive we WORKERS by means of detonating these unsafe unfair LOUD,,
