Yeah, me and my friends were playing with firecrackers a long time ago and we were putting them in a bottle. I almost didn't get it in the bottle so naturally I threw it and backed up right into a Jumping Cholla (a cactus). I got a lot of cactus in my ass and had to walk back to the house with my pants around my ankles hahaha. Good thing I had a long shirt. I live in AZ. Just for a better visual :P

I AM a firework related accident looking for just the right place to happen. Is it an accident if you hit your brother in law in the head with a Roman Candle... On purpose? Is it an accident if you sneak up behind your cousin and light the firecracker pack he has in his hand while he is not looking? OH>.. I've got one! I used a tubular piece of steel, welded a cap on the bottom of it. I was taking M80's (back when they were REAL... Now they are illegal) lighting them and shoving a golf ball wrapped in a wet paper towel behind them. They disappear quite nicely. For all I know, we were breaking windows 3 blocks away. Anyway, I had trouble getting the golf ball in on the 5th shot, so by the time I got it seated, it immediately went off and skipped a golf ball off of the side of my head and burned my cheek. What was I to do?

No, I only had an accident with "estalinhos" they are a small bit gunpowder wrapped in vegetable paper that you throw in the floor and explode, I was 10 and had bought 100$00 escudos 20 of them put them in my jeans front pocket and went to school, for some reason I starting running and I fell with all of them exploding on my pocket, that was very painful! Never again touched one of them! :)

2 actually. Once a friend of mine set his shoe on fire and ended up burning his hand while putting it out. The other time was actually on this just recent 4th of July. I was sitting at the beach watching the fireworks that they set off on the peir and all of a sudden the inside corner of my left eye started to burn like crazy. I put my hand over my eye and got out whatever peice of firework debris was stuck in there. It hurt but I didn't really think about it. When I got home, I looked in the mirror and realized that the inside corner of my eye was stop light red. It's all gone now, but it was tender for like 2-3 days after that.

Besides little burns, I once set my desk at home on fire. I was 12 and I exerimented with making my own blackpower and fireworks. (no explosives, just fountains). I would test bits of my mix at my desk and a spark flew to a larger batch and lit it. Luckily it just left a hole in my desk.

I was once hit in the ankle with a bottle rocket...ouch!

LAWL!!!!!!!! Funny story!!!! When I was like 10 or 11 (my brother would have been 8 or 9) we had these thingies that were colored balls and when you lit the fuse smoke that was the same color as the ball would come spraying out. And I lit an orange one and, for reasons known only to my brother he walked over and inhaled the smoke that came out and it made him throw up orange. It was funny!!!

yep, Was playing with a bottle rocket and it burnt my hand...

Luckily no one got hurt, but just this fourth of July, I was shooting off artillery shells and forgot to unwind the fuse from that little string loop they have on them. When the thing went off, it shot backwards toward me and exploded just inches away from our car (and me and hubby). There was another time when I was younger, I dropped a paper sparkler (lit) on a pile of (unlit) fireworks. Thankfully, no one got hurt then either. And then there was the time I accidentally burned my eye with a lit punk.
