Witnesses told Ellis that Smith lit a flaming ball charge and inserted it into a mortar-type launching tube, but it did not ignite. Smith used a pocket knife to install another fuse and, once lit, held the base of the tube up against his chest. Famous last words: "Hold my beer and watch this!"

Last year I purposely put a mortar round in upside down in the tube on top of a box just to show my kids what happens when you don’t pay attention. Made a nice little crater.

Wow! Those fireworks must have been bringing a serious punch to kill an adult with a chest wound!

This is a new level of stupid, but I have seen people look down into a mortar tube when the fuse just went out...

I love South Carolina. Want to blow yourself up on the Fourth and New Years Eve? No problem, knock yourself out! No nanny state here!
I’m not being facetious, either. I lived down there for 8 years and loved it.
