His head was only injured, but the rest of him was killed instantly?
One less idiot who would have cost the taxpayers money.
Darwin Award candidate.
DING! DING! DING!
We have a Darwin award winner here......
I wonder whom the family will sue.
You have to know someone’s at fault other than the poor victim. ;-)
People just get stupider and stupider.
Excuse me while I silently laugh my A’ off....

Ya’think?
My brother has some of these professional grade mortars that he’s fired off on occasion. They were quite impressive for their relatively diminutive size of approximately 2” - 2 1/2” in diameter. The rounds get up to their burst altitude rapidly and pack a wallop of sufficient force to bring the neighbors outside seeking an answer to what in the hell just exploded overhead. I thought about holding the tube, as it balanced precariously on the top of his block fence, deciding ultimately, that there was no good reason to do so. I was convinced that my decision was sound once I saw a round explode with tremendous, I repeat tremendous force.
This is the second story like this in about a week. In the other, it was a man in his 40s. You really could blame an internet video (the first deceased apparently saw something on YouTube), except nobody had to replicate it.
There was a hispanic family (About nine people) across the street last night setting off loads of fireworks.
The “dad” was sitting in between the sidewalk and street, tossing Black Cats at the little kids and laughing as they ran away.
I was waiting for some child’s toes to come flying into my yard.
Poor dummy should have taken a physics class in high school. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
A chemistry class on the power of mortar-sized fireworks probably wouldn’t have hurt, either.
