Do you agree with what I said -?

Question

Before you decide to use firecrackers read the following:

Amputation, third degree burns, loss of sight, loss of hearing ... sound like battlefield injuries, an industrial accident or maybe a car crash? How about the aftermath of an off-duty get-together of a few friends or family members -- no way, guess again! These are real life, recreational fireworks injuries seen by military and civilian physicians during their professional careers. Seemingly innocuous sparklers, firecrackers and bottle rockets exact a toll of pain and suffering on thousands of Americans each year. Unwitting children often make up a large segment of those victimized, and the physical and emotional scars often last a lifetime.

Superficial burns to the fingers and hand from simply handling the lighting devices or from faulty fuses

A blinding injury from an off-course bottle rocket

A third degree burn on the lower extremity from a roman candle that ignited a patient's clothing

A complete amputation of an index finger from a "homemade" super firecracker

Fireworks account for an average of 10,000 reported injuries annually. Firecrackers top the list as the cause of these injuries. Firecrackers account for approximately 51% of all injuries followed by skyrockets at 12%, common sparklers at 7%, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, National Electronic Injury Surveillance System

Answer 2

Answer 3

"Does it belong in this category?" Its categorised as "Do It Yourself" and we are talking about self-inflicted injuries here.  Mind you, does anyone have this years statistics for how many people have been injured by beds, by bread-related incidents and by toothbrushes?  I think we should be comparing just how capable people are of managing to damage themselves with practically everything - maybe allowing them to handle explosives is simply making the inevitable easier.

Answer 4

People who don't use common sense and/or some brains can hurt themselves with all kinds of things.

Answer 5

Is this a real question and does it really belong in this catagory????
