I almost died last night (or at least almost got severely burned).

So last night was New Year's Eve (duh) and my friends and I were lighting some fireworks. We had some Roman candles, bottle rockets, and some mortars. We got a little scare when some of the shots from the roman candles started to barely pop out of the tube and explode right in front of us, but all in all it was still a good night. Then I decided to shoot off a mortar. We'd already fired off a few with no problems. I walked out and slid the shot into the tube, lit it, then retreated back to the group to watch. Now, as you probably know, mortar shots are designed to fire high into the air and explode. Well for some reason, this particular mortar shot decided to shoot up maybe 10 feet and spin around, before exploding right in front of us and showering us with the pretty sparks and shit that are supposed to be enjoyed, not cowered from. So...yeah, almost died (or at least almost got severely burned). True story.

      • Last 4th of July we were lighting off those big boxes that shoot like 20 mortars and one malfunctioned. One of the fireworks exploded inside the box and knocked all of the other tubes loose, which then immediately started to shoot off in all directions. A few hit the house and the car we were using as cover to hide from the explosions.

        • Did your entire 12 years of life playing with barbies flash before your eyes?
