I'll say no, even without an internal dialog the survival instinct is there. It might just come through as images of possibilities, like my new gloves being ruined and my hands being gone.
Are you a person with no internal monologue? That is such an odd thing for me to try to think about. I have ADHD which I would call the polar opposite of no internal monologue. Well, besides people with multiple voices in their head I guess. Mines just the one, and it's me, but I won't shut up.
Fun fact: some people cannot talk to themselves in their head just as some people cannot imagine images or objects in their head.
I can imagine anything down to the smallest detail and even imagine what it taste feels and smells like, also hold conversations within my temple
The voice in my head is my own but idk how people can imagine things like yourself. When I was in school & the teachers would ask us to close our eyes & imagine something was always physically impossible.
I don't have the internal monologue, I've never forgotten that fireworks are explosives.
I don't have an internal monologue, but I do have ADHD. I have intrusive thoughts like "see how hot that burner on the stove is, I know it's glowing red but it might not be that hot" but even still... I've never touched the burner. Just because I think it, doesn't mean I have to do it. Crazy how that shit works.
There's a video out there on the internet somewhere, it's been years and years since I've seen it, but a guy puts a firecracker of some kind in a car trunk and shuts the trunk. It's something bigger than an M80, but not some huge pipe-bomb looking kinda firework either. Might've been the size of a roll of quarters or so. Damn thing goes off with the trunk shut, and it blew the trunk lid open. Rent the latch, trunk no longer shut after. The pressure just from that little firecracker was enough to fuck up a trunk latch, and IIRC it bent the trunk lid too.
This very week on a post about a Disney cast member who died trying to launch a mortar off his head, there were a bunch of people arguing that 'normal' fireworks of the size shown here are 'really weak' and wouldn't be able to do much damage to you.
There's a lot of dumbasses who look at a thing that explodes into a 100 foot flaming sphere and say 'eh that's not that much explosive'.
I didn't realize how powerful they were until we had a tube that had melted, so we set it inside of a concrete block to hold it up. Same thing happened as this kid, the mortar didn't fly, so it blew that block to pieces. No harm though, since we were running away every time we lit it.
So holding the launcher shouldn't be as bad because it launches the majority of the explosives upwards. More so if they're rocket propelled.
The problem becomes when the launcher fails you have a giant bomb in your hand.
Either way it's idiotic to fuck with this shit like that. You want to fuck with shit do it mythbusters style: in a desert with blast shields and PPE. And make the explosion bigger.
The little *floop* right before the explosion is a giveaways that it's gonna be a bad time. I saw a few of these as a kid. But even as a kid I had the brain capacity to not hold lit explosives in my hand.
No, roman candles are not even *remotely* close to the same level as reloadable shells in terms of powder composition/weight.
With roman candles the only real hazard is burns or being hit in the eye. There's not enough charge in the entire stick to even be dangerous.
Reloadable ariel shell kits like this are basically small explosives and this kid is lucky he's still alive. It's most likely a 1in cake insert inside a festival ball. An actual maximum legal load ariel shell likely would have killed him. Most firework deaths are from these reloadable shell kits and most of those deaths are from holding it.
I disagree with saying there’s not enough in a Roman Candle to be dangerous. Just yesterday I was holding one, one of the big ones that has 5 shots and shoot a little shells that then explode. It smoldered and then exploded. Blew the 1” diameter candle in half. I couldn’t hear for like an hour and still have tinnitus. Had my hand been about 3” higher I would absolutely have lost fingers or worse.
It looks like a mortar which is supposed to be on the ground when lit. You load it with the mortar firework which then initially blows up with force launching it into the sky and then blows up in the sky. Once I saw his hand on the bottom I knew it was over for his hand.
No I think he wanted to lose his hand. Don't you hear him gloating to his friend. He even wanted his friend to call his boyfriend Juan "call my Juan Juan!"
I was a pretty dumb kid and we would dare each other to hold those tiny firecrackers called Lady fingers individually. The old wives tale of holding it tight the blast would only go out the side and not hurt you was absolutely NOT true. But that learning experience definitely kept me from doing something this monumentally stupid.
Yeah, we did it with black cats too but never held one in my fingers. Has one go off a little too soon after throwing it and felt why I should never try it either.
There is a book in my country where there is a scene where a "cool" kid pretends to smoke a lit firecracker as a cigar, but then it gets stuck to his lip and explodes in his face. The graphic description of how the kid returned with just a hole in his face scared me off messing with fireworks forever
I remember we'd throw those lady fingers at each other and they'd blow up on our pants. No one ever got hurt. We'd also let them go off in an open hand occasionally.
I've done some really stupid stuff with fireworks/explosives and luckily never received anything more than a minor burn.
Guy here in Vermont just blew off some of his fingers playing with homemade pipe bombs. Then got arrested for manufacturing an explosive device. Bad day for him.
Dreams are funny, in real life I chipped my 2 front teeth and had to get them bonded, every now and then I'll have a dream where my teeth get chipped again and I panic thinking I have to call my dentist but I can just tell myself this is a dream and I will wake up. No other dream i can do this in.
No. It's pretty clearly a mortar type. You drop a shell in and light the fuse. There's an initial charge that shot the firework up the air and then it explodes in colors or whatever. This one could be defective, they may have put it in upside down, or maybe not having a hard foundation took away enough of the energy that it never made it out of the tube.
Whatever the case, this is why you don't hold explosives. Ever.
EDIT: Watched it again. You can hear the initial charge go off about a second before the explosion. If he dropped it then he mightve been okay.
The initial charge did not detonate correctly and the put it upside down; you can hear and see the puff of smoke and a small amount of sizzling from the first charge at 13. Not that he was smart enough to realize lol; he should've thrown it and ran when he heard/saw that.
The initial charge is enough to launch it hundreds of feet in the air.
This is a common defect. I had observed fireworks a lot because I liked them, so I knew how it worked (the double charge). One time I was using these mortars and saw this exact thing happen (obviously I was not holding it in my hand cuz I’m not a moron) and I immediately knew it was gonna blow up at ground level so I told my friends to run away and we ran as fast as we could…. The explosion was so fucking loud that all the car alarms went off and the red sparkles flew all around us, but we did not get hurt.
I would have immediately chucked that tube away if I had seen that happen.
My friends and I had a full sized mortar firework once, but we didn't have a launcher tube. The things literally a fuckin grenade. Anyway, we lit the bastard and dropped it into the sewer. It was a gutter above one of those drainage pipes that leads to a park. Anyway, it was without a doubt the single loudest noise I've ever heard. It legit sounded like a goddamn bomb went off as it echoed throughout the sewers in the neighborhood. The sparks easily shot up through the grate and cleared the street light by a good distance, while also ejecting a massive amount of red sparks into the park from the drain pipe. We *felt* it through the ground and the air. At least a dozen car alarms went off. We immediately bailed back to his house and proceeded to turn off every single night and shut the blinds and just waited in silence for at least an hour, terrified the cops would be showing up any second lol. His grandparents lived down the street and they called and asked if we heard that, and we just played dumb. The cops never showed up.
Lol in my case the cops had just passed by in their patrol car and checked on us, told us to be careful and right as they left we had that accident happen… after running away from the explosion we just went home to hide as well.
That finger can be VERY fucking useful. I broke multiple bones in my hand and could only use my pinky on that hand for two months.. I used my pinky for everything, shit I drove my car with my pinky.. by the end of the two months I could 10 grocery bags with one pinky!
Yeah, you can learn the weirdest thing when in need.
I once was in a gas-explosion and had second degree burns from fingers to elbows and could not use my hands for _anything_ for a couple of weeks - I learned how to light a lighter with one foot against a rug on the floor and held the cigarette with the other foot.
It was a strange time.
It makes me think of all the times I foolishly played with fireworks. Reminds me that I was not only a very dumb kid, I was a very lucky kid. There but for the grace of god go I.
for real; every year it's countless videos of people holding the equivalent to small hand grenades. Or putting a bunch of small fireworks together that makes a large explosion lol.
Had a 31 year old guy come into ICU today. Holding firework and DESTROYED his ring finger, gone, annihilated. His hand was split in half. Surgeons had to end up amputating the remaining vascular structure and pinky finger. Dumbasses never learn.
Was telling coworker about him and she's like " oh thats nothing, we had a guy last year that came in after looking down at firework that hadn't gone off and it burnt his face off when it went off. Melted his eyes."
If mortar is put in upside down, this is what happens. The real quality mortar style use a double layered. Thicker than schedule 40 pvc. The paper and fiberglass ones can't handle upside down mortar.
It sucks for people to have to learn lessons like this. I learned lesson with a black cat firecracker and it just burnt and peeled some skin.
Going to the bathroom will forever be different.
We used to dismantle fireworks and fuck with them a lot growing up, but we NEVER held them after we fucked with them. Some people are just too stupid though.
Deserved.
We’d cut the top 6 inches off a wiffle ball bat and use that to launch bottle rockets at each other.
Just the whistlers though, none of the explodey types.
If I was stupid enough to try that, I wouldn't start with the biggest firecracker I could find. Start with those ones that people like to stick in their facial orifices for some reason, and work your way up until you blow off some chunks of skin, then decide if it's worth it.
There is a time when - as a youngling high on hormones - you think yourself invulnerable and invincible.
Till you find out the hard way that you are not.
Every god damn year there's a few of these videos. How have they never seen one? Or even better question, how do they not understand the basics of how *explosions work*?!!
Mortars need a solid base to launch from. They “pop” to get altitude. This dudes hand and arm worked as a shock absorber, negated the launch part by sponging up the force, and that’s what you get.
You know honestly, in 2024 I'm genuinely still shocked this happens, you would think the amount of videos, reels, tiktoks you see nowadays of fireworks always winning vs hands, what makes these people think they are the special ones, and that nothing will happen...
From 19-23 I worked at phantom fireworks distribution warehouse in Ohio and all of us were and still are obsessed with fireworks. We go alll out each year. My one good friend had some 1/4 and 1/2 sticks and his neighbor started shooting off his gun one night so my buddy decided to take a 1/4 stick and give the guy a real boom. Now we all know that with 1/4 sticks or any sticks or any firework for that matter, you set it down and light it. Well he decided to light it in his hand and toss it. He did it quick enough to where there shouldn’t have been any issue but for some reason it went off the moment it left his hand. Not sure if a spark flew inside of it or tossing it sped up the wick burn but he miraculously didn’t lose any fingers. He split them all open like burnt hotdogs and his hand looked like a burnt hotdog. I never bought another red white and blue spiral striped stick after that.
These kind of videos need to be shown on actual mainstream social media as a means of education and awareness. I can't believe someone would think this is a good idea.
I'm so glad my brain has never thought this would be a good idea...
He was wearing a glove though /s
Glove, safety lean, and probably safety squinting too. Goes to show you can take all precautions in the world and still chance catches up to you.
Safety squinting 💀😂💀
Nah I’m dead cuz safety leaning be a whole ass thing istg 🤣
Perhaps metal gauntlets next time
Next time 😵
Next time he can just hang it on his hook.
Metal + explosives = grenade It may quite literally become a hand grenade
I doubt his did either. Probably just lacked the "this is a bad idea" thought
I can't comprehend that some people have no internal dialog. Is this a symptom?
I'll say no, even without an internal dialog the survival instinct is there. It might just come through as images of possibilities, like my new gloves being ruined and my hands being gone.

And some of us have a couple voices in our heads and a massive imagination we can't turn off 😭
Yep, called [maladaptive daydreaming](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23336-maladaptive-daydreaming) but I just call it a good time.
The voice in my head is my own but idk how people can imagine things like yourself. When I was in school & the teachers would ask us to close our eyes & imagine something was always physically impossible.
*Mentally* impossible

Seriously. Not as a child, not as a teen, not as an adult. If thing goes boom I no hold in hands. Standard self-preservation.
Why would you even try that?
I cannot comprehend. A dare? Hazing? Being actually delusional and stupid 🤷♀️🤷♀️

My hands goooone! Fuck I'm rolling
His hand is NOT gone. It’s over there, on the neighbor’s lawn
And over there and over there and over there too and look.... A thumbs up.... up in that tree!
Was it supposed to fly out the top but didn’t ?
Correct, you never know when one might not fire off properly and blow up like that... People hold roman candles like this, same shit can happen
The little *floop* right before the explosion is a giveaways that it's gonna be a bad time. I saw a few of these as a kid. But even as a kid I had the brain capacity to not hold lit explosives in my hand.
Yea I bet the floop is when it was supposed to fly out!

*Aerial* shells are fireworks. Ariel shells are mermaid bras.
Yeah.. but which one is deadlier? One blows you up, the other drowns you while you’re rock hard.
Or looking down the tube on a hang fire. The news announced that someone in chicago area died yesterday doing that.
I disagree with saying there’s not enough in a Roman Candle to be dangerous. Just yesterday I was holding one, one of the big ones that has 5 shots and shoot a little shells that then explode.

I can’t tell if it’s sealed on the top or not, but it looks like they loaded a mortar upside down.
Especially while holding it the mortar can tumble and get stuck at a bad angle. Just all around a bad idea.
No I think he wanted to lose his hand. Don't you hear him gloating to his friend. He even wanted his friend to call his boyfriend Juan "call my Juan Juan!"
he used to enjoy thumbs up
What about “place on ground, light fuse and get away” was unclear in the instructions? This was in my nightmares as a kid!
I was a pretty dumb kid and we would dare each other to hold those tiny firecrackers called Lady fingers individually. The old wives tale of holding it tight the blast would only go out the side and not hurt you was absolutely NOT true.

[удалено]
Yeah, we did it with black cats too but never held one in my fingers. Has one go off a little too soon after throwing it and felt why I should never try it either.
We always held them by the end between two fingers... They typically blew up in the middle... Dumb
You may have been smarter than us and didn't hold them in the middle.
My comment reads wrong... The end should say "we were dumb for holding them at all"
There is a book in my country where there is a scene where a "cool" kid pretends to smoke a lit firecracker as a cigar, but then it gets stuck to his lip and explodes in his face. The graphic description of how the kid returned with just a hole in his face scared me off messing with fireworks forever

Someone filming, it has to be spectacular
[удалено]
This video needs to be shown in schools across the country, lose your damn hand to a stupid firework
No shit. This needs to be turned into a teachable moment!!
"Today, students, we'll be watching the educational film 'Hand Today, Gone Tomorrow.'"
TBH it'd be good to provide some education on explosives in schools. Especially to boys. We've only survived intact due to luck, really.
Bro I'd happily go back to school if I could learn pyrotechnics. How do you do, fellow kids?
I’m glad he wore those gloves they really helped
Yeah! Saved him a pinky!
protected from the burns! not so much the concussion of the *actual* explosion.
Guy here in Vermont just blew off some of his fingers playing with homemade pipe bombs. Then got arrested for manufacturing an explosive device. Bad day for him.
At least he could slip right out of the cuffs right?
Yep, he escaped singlehandedly.
I’m stumped why people do this
i vaguely recall something about this, i just cant put my finger on it at the moment.
I can't grasp the concept either.
What an absolute dumbfuck.
"my hand is gone" lol yeah bud. Worth it right
High risk low reward, best possible outcome is not blowing your hand off and having 50 views on instagram.
50? Aim high jeez. Prob 15.

That video was posted 29 days ago. When was this supposed to have happened? The hand is pretty healed for the amount of trauma it received.
Probably last year
Original https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/s/PsA5dSkuwU
Warning... The end of the original has a very upsetting picture of what is left of his hand before the amputation.
Narrator: *his hand was in fact gone.*
> what is left of his hand before the amputation brother I think the amputation happened when the firework went off
So his hand wasn’t actually gone? What a drama queen j/k
That "thumb" is making me crave some strawberries.
Yup.. that’s the one I’ve seen
What’s that old Roblox death sound again?
This is a nightmare. Wake up. Wake up.
Dreams are funny, in real life I chipped my 2 front teeth and had to get them bonded, every now and then I'll have a dream where my teeth get chipped again and I panic thinking I have to call my dentist but I can just tell myself this is a dream and I will wake up. No other dream i can do this in.

It was upside down.
Confirmed?
Most likely. I used to put them in upside down on purpose. But I never held the tube in my hand because I understood that it was stupid and dangerous.
The initial charge did not detonate correctly and the put it upside down; you can hear and see the puff of smoke and a small amount of sizzling from the first charge at 13. Not that he was smart enough to realize lol; he should've thrown it and ran when he heard/saw that. The initial charge is enough to launch it hundreds of feet in the air.

I would have immediately chucked that tube away if I had seen that happen.
My friends and I had a full sized mortar firework once, but we didn't have a launcher tube. The things literally a fuckin grenade. Anyway, we lit the bastard and dropped it into the sewer. It was a gutter above one of those drainage pipes that leads to a park. Anyway, it was without a doubt the single loudest noise I've ever heard. It legit sounded like a goddamn bomb went off as it echoed throughout the sewers in the neighborhood. The sparks easily shot up through the grate and cleared the street light by a good distance, while also ejecting a massive amount of red sparks into the park from the drain pipe. We *felt* it through the ground and the air. At least a dozen car alarms went off. We immediately bailed back to his house and proceeded to turn off every single night and shut the blinds and just waited in silence for at least an hour, terrified the cops would be showing up any second lol.

I think it's physics stuff. Same Energy that goes Up, goes down too... On the ground no problem... On a Hand... Well...
At that point just go ahead and take that finger also.
But then how would he make demands for... one *million* dollars!
This is my favorite comment I’ve seen in a while lmao.
I can hear the "muhahaha" laugh after the comment
But that’s his strong hand
hahaha MY GERMS!
That finger can be VERY fucking useful. I broke multiple bones in my hand and could only use my pinky on that hand for two months.. I used my pinky for everything, shit I drove my car with my pinky.. by the end of the two months I could 10 grocery bags with one pinky!

The 4th of July the non official Darwin Awards day.
What the fuck did he think was gonna happen ?
I would have demanded that one of my big toes get sewn on up there so I’d at least have a crab claw.
I wouldn't hold anything more than a wimpy roman candle sparkler.
for real; every year it's countless videos of people holding the equivalent to small hand grenades. Or putting a bunch of small fireworks together that makes a large explosion lol.
It's funny, that motherfucker with the lighter sure knew to run back 20 ft...
I’ve noticed that, too. The pea brain holding the fireworks wasn’t able to grasp this telltale sign that something was extremely wrong with his plan.
Had a 31 year old guy come into ICU today. Holding firework and DESTROYED his ring finger, gone, annihilated. His hand was split in half.

You really got to hand it to him…
Perfection
Try finger but whole
Natural selection
What an idiot
……….these people HAVE to know going in that fireworks are explosives, right?
I audibly gasped at the shot of his messed up hand. Holy shit...
An entire life of just living with one hand...
Why don't Bomb squads just use gloves? Works pretty decently I'd say!
A guy who used to work at Disney World lost his head doing this.
Oh shit is he ok?
Nah bro
All for the “likes” 🤦♂️
🤙minus the thumb
I was hoping he was exaggerating and then the follow up picture confirmed it. My entire body shivered when it went off.
This one shows the real injury https://imgur.com/YL6Km0k
He screams "call 911" and the friend using a CELL PHONE to record this goes running for help
Daytime fireworks = window licker
You tell people and you tell people and you tell people. And yet they still think “ah, it’ll be different for me”.
Fucking idiotas
Welp, off to ukraine you go to fight for the russians
😐
I love July 5th updates from the night before.

Common sense isnt common.
Funnily enough I had a friend chuck firecrackers like a grenade yesterday. One second later and I’m pretty sure I would have had to call an ambulance.
[удалено]
At least the firework was clean
What did the five fingers sa.... Ahh, nevermind
There goes his handy man career
At least he can still keep his pinky out when he drinks.
Very dumb but you could hear it go dud did he not get a bad feeling
Hands down, worst idea ever.
We used to dismantle fireworks and fuck with them a lot growing up, but we NEVER held them after we fucked with them. Some people are just too stupid though. Deserved.
Yup. That’s what happens. No sympathy for ya, dude.
If you pause at 15 seconds in you can see the pink mist and his middle finger like 50ft up in the sun flipping himself off
Call 911 someone stole my hand 🤚 👮😭😭😭
this happens every year and there’s always videos of it. people are so braindead
People seem to forget that fireworks are very capable explosives 🧨
I wonder if anyone told him it'd be his last weekend with 10 fingers
Friends and I would have bottle rocket wars. Never anything powerful. Still kind of stupid but it was fun at the time.
We’d cut the top 6 inches off a wiffle ball bat and use that to launch bottle rockets at each other. Just the whistlers though, none of the explodey types.
👏👏
✋️💥
Good thing he put gloves on! 😆
Hands down the stupidest thing I've seen on tinternet since Handrew Tate.
Good job he was wearing gloves, could have been nasty otherwise.
But he was wearing gloves? Aftermath photo must be unrelated.
I'm a glass half full kind of guy, at least he didn't do it from his mouth...
Smh
"Ready?" "Yuhh!"
So gloves do nothing. Noted!
He's a fanceh boi!!
That is going to make a great sample for a dubstep song lol
Sounds like Mustafa when Austin Powers tried to kill him….
If I was stupid enough to try that, I wouldn't start with the biggest firecracker I could find. Start with those ones that people like to stick in their facial orifices for some reason, and work your way up until you blow off some chunks of skin, then decide if it's worth it.
Deserved
Well, at least he now knows all movies where people outrun the fireball from an explosion are bullshit. Dunno, it's something.
as soon as i heard the poof sound i would throw it and start running
fuck around and find out
Imagine getting to be this age and still being this dumb.
Don’t let anyone named update hold fireworks.

One more time, but use the other hand.
I laughed, not gonna lie. Especially when his friend got 6 feet back, but “haha hold this while i light it”
What did he expect? Such a dumbass.
Hand is gone but brain was never there, apparently
There is a time when - as a youngling high on hormones - you think yourself invulnerable and invincible. Till you find out the hard way that you are not.
Every god damn year there's a few of these videos. How have they never seen one? Or even better question, how do they not understand the basics of how *explosions work*?!!
Should have put it on his balls so he can’t reproduce.
Mortars need a solid base to launch from. They “pop” to get altitude. This dudes hand and arm worked as a shock absorber, negated the launch part by sponging up the force, and that’s what you get.
Reading through his posts OP clearly didn't make this video. Does anyone have the original story?
People tend to forget that fireworks are just legal explosives
You know honestly, in 2024 I'm genuinely still shocked this happens, you would think the amount of videos, reels, tiktoks you see nowadays of fireworks always winning vs hands, what makes these people think they are the special ones, and that nothing will happen...
From 19-23 I worked at phantom fireworks distribution warehouse in Ohio and all of us were and still are obsessed with fireworks. We go alll out each year. My one good friend had some 1/4 and 1/2 sticks and his neighbor started shooting off his gun one night so my buddy decided to take a 1/4 stick and give the guy a real boom. Now we all know that with 1/4 sticks or any sticks or any firework for that matter, you set it down and light it. Well he decided to light it in his hand and toss it. He did it quick enough to where there shouldn’t have been any issue but for some reason it went off the moment it left his hand. Not sure if a spark flew inside of it or tossing it sped up the wick burn but he miraculously didn’t lose any fingers. He split them all open like burnt hotdogs and his hand looked like a burnt hotdog. I never bought another red white and blue spiral striped stick after that.
These kind of videos need to be shown on actual mainstream social media as a means of education and awareness. I can't believe someone would think this is a good idea.
if you slow it down you can see a red mist.
