[Dback Jon]

It turns out Jason Pierre-Paul wasn’t the only NFL player to suffer a fireworks-related injury over the holiday weekend.

According to the Tampa Tribune, Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback C.J. Wilson suffered a “severe hand injury in a fireworks accident” during the July 4th weekend. The Lincoln (N.C.) Times-News reported, through sources close to the family, that Wilson lost two fingers in the incident.

The supply of morons in this world seems almost endless. One guy thinks he's a roman candle and blows a hole in the top of his head and two others think they can be quicker than an explosion. Moronity at its best and yes moronity is a valid word.

noun
1. Informal. a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgment:

It's 2 lost fingers to one in favor of the Bucs. I'm wondering what the over/under for NFL fingers will be in LV next year!

 

[Cardsfanstl]

I see quite a few contracts being rewrote stating "direct use of fireworks is prohibited"

 

[Metcalf Rules]

These NFL players can't keep their hand to themselves.

 

[BigRedRage]

they fingered this one very quickly.

 

[Jim Otis]

CJ could recall some of what happened , but some of it was a bit blurry , he couldn't quite put his finger on it .

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Something CJ will have problems with now...

Wilson one upped JPP. NFL players are very competitive.

"fickle finger of fate".

Whats funny is over the many years I've lit up fireworks not once did I blow up anything or anyone, I'm not sure why people do it if they don't know how.....or maybe alcohol is involved then I understand completely lol

Exactly. I use a foot long butane liter and run when the fuse goes.

I can only assume they were using actual m80s or something and holding on to them while lit.

Anyone ever use the cigarette fuse trick?

Even when I have lit them off when alcohol was involved I have never even so much as burned myself with a spark. It's mind boggling.

I typically light my fuses with a cigarette much safer than a lighter flame moving around everywhere IMO.

Cigarette fuse I was referring to works like this;

1. Light a cigarette (do not inale)
2. Stick fuse of M80/Ashcan/Cherry Bomb into cigarette by piercing the cigarette close to the filter with the fuse.
3. Duct tape/masking tape device to whatever you intend to prank
4. Walk away to a very safe distance and find a seat hidden from view
5. 10 minutes later.............. boooooom.

Those were the stupid pranks we would pull as kids down here in Florida. We blew up mailboxes, etc. Today we would be classified terrorists. It was dumb and dangerous. Don't let your kids read this.

I threw a lit fire cracker at a friend once and it bounced off his cheek before exploding. But somewhat his own fault for the dummy didn't even duck when he knew I was throwing it after lighting it. Thinking back now, I could have put his eye out playing around like that. Really stupid. Another friend of mine set his best friend on fire one day playing with flash paper. It killed the kid right on Hollywood Blvd. People just stood around and watched the kid go up in flames.

A while back, maybe 2007, cigarettes were mandated to become FSC (Fire safe cigarettes) and now have added "glues" (like where you lick when rolling a doobie) that ring around every third of your cigarette. So now, if you do not puff away, it goes out one third down the cigarette.
