Well, at least it sounds like they had fun... (no, I couldn't do it. someone else has to)

AT members are not stupid.

They are multi billionaire business people who are smarter than Stephen Hawkings and know how the world should run - but don't actually run anything, because they are smart enough to not have to baby sit people and show them how it should be done. Remember, it is not that they are blow hard loud mouth arm chair experts, it is that you are too fucking stupid to figure anything out and they are too smart to explain it to someone who won't get it.

CALAIS, Maine (AP) — Maine State Police say a man celebrating the Fourth of July died when he tried to launch a firework off the top of his head.
Stephen McCausland, a spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, says 22-year-old Devon Staples of Calais had been setting off fireworks with friends on Saturday night in the backyard of a friend’s home.

He says Staples placed a fireworks mortar tube on his head and set it off, injuring his head. He died instantly.
Police say the friends had been drinking.

McCausland says Staples’ death marks Maine’s first fireworks fatality since the state legalized fireworks several years ago.

Calais is in eastern Maine, on the Canadian border near New Brunswick.

Maybe I have a sick sense of humor but I did laugh....

*e2a*
Are the Darwin Awards still around? Probably should forward this story to them if so.

Not quite as good as getting eaten by an alligator. Sorry Devon, you only get 2nd place in this weeks Darwin Awards. The gene pool thanks you anyway.

I disagree, there's still the faint chance of alligators ignoring you. Lighting fireworks from his head is more like swimming into an alligator infested lake and then sticking your head inside ones mouth for a selfie.

must have been a defective mortar, normally the tube has a charge big enough to launch the projectile up a couple hundred feet, evidently his stayed in the tube and exploded.

The concussion from the tube launch alone would probably be very much enough to kill you dead if it was in fact on top of your head.

All I can say is it was not me. Some friends and I lit off ~225 mortars and 35 cakes on Saturday without a hitch. Was a great show.

 

[Red Squirrel]

lol stupid people.

I wish fireworks were legal here, they can be a lot of fun if used responsibly. Too bad stupid people have to ruin it for everyone.

I wish guns were legal here.....
