Explosions can hurt (duh). They will almost certainly cause burns, which are some of the most painful wounds you can get. And so I agree entirely with the advice from childhood buddy 2cents (emailing from a secure, undisclosed explosives bunker somewhere south of 45° North):
Only a fool shoots off incendiary devices sober! What if you blow off a finger or something? Sober that would hurt.Sure would. I recommend drinking heavily. These guys sure have been.
Yikes. From the looks of things, they won't feel the burn until they sober up.

7am 4 July. Off to work my shift at the ER. Timely advice BP, and like most such, unlikely to be heeded.

Just yesterday I said something along the same line. I said: Y'all have a happy 4th and remember, if you don't blow a finger off YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!
I guess I should have added the do it while drunk part.
Enjoy the 4TH
Amen.
Got a bit of a head start last night. Celebrated July 3rd by drinking and lighting off some of the smaller stuff.
Happy Independence Day, Ted to you and yours!
Just back from a visit to Normandy.Worth the trip for Americans to see the sacrifice we made for the liberation of Europe.
