Scary picture! But it says a lot. I did online research for a company about medical emergencies, and found a website from an anonymous EMT that had the most disturbing pictures of injuries, and many of them were fireworks-related. Seeing those graphic pictures and reading someone's firsthand experiences made a big impression!
I still love fireworks but leave it up to the pros, instead.
Definitely. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I think a lot of people don't appreciate that fireworks are in fact explosives! I also have had experiences of fireworks being tossed for fun into a crowd. And just a few years ago a rocket we were setting off fell over, shooting it straight for us and making us run for cover from the shower of sparks. If it had hit any of us we could've been seriously hurt. Fireworks are beautiful and fun, but they need to be handled with care.
I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July! God bless.

(Archived May 22, 2009)Use Care with Fireworks
We know a man who reads braille with his feet or toes because of fireworks. It is our desire that our friends, acquaintances, and fellow readers not become statistics such as I have cited.
Kindest regards,

These are young people whose brains have not matured enough to understand how dangerous fireworks are (and how dangerous the combination of fireworks and alcohol is). And these amateurs don't stop to think that they are also scaring pets, birds and other wildlife, senior citizens, babies and people who are ill. They just don't think.
I hope no one gets hurt. Thanks for your reminder. (07/03/2007)
