- theHM, on 10/12/2007, -2/+75yup; natural selection at work.
- mightymouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+64That my friend is god's way of telling us "this guy wasn't meant to do ANYONE".
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+56http://romancandle.ytmnd.com/
- dcipjr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28His town is having a weenie roast in memory of him.
- ArcticCelt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23I think someone once said:
"Those who would give up their balls to purchase a little temporary fame, deserve neither balls nor fame"
Or something like that... ;p - Vision77, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Okay can't resist calling this guy numb nuts....Goodness gracious GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! Sorry it was too easy.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20atleast he can try it again if he wants....... he's probably got nothing to loose . ;)
- PeterBassett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16You know what the really sad thing about this?
His *friends* still posted the video on the internet. - naughtymonkey69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16He's building a time machine so he can stop himself from ever blowing up his balls in the first place.
- LarianLeQuella, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Trust me, if it's made idiot proof, humans come up with a better idiot!
- joel8x, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18It wasn't pointed the wrong way - you can see the smoke comming out of the front - it just malfunctioned - notice how all the balls came out at once instead of one at a time.
- TwisteR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Just when I thought the human race couldn't get any more idiotic.
- halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I think it means he WINS a Darwin award.
Remember, winning just means you won't be passing on your DNA, you don't have to die to win. - pdawg90, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13@iSamurai
You don't actually have to die to get a Darwin Award; just remove yourself from the gene pool.
And from the looks of it, I'm pretty sure he removed himself from the gene pool. - Dotnetsky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Confucius say, "Man who masturbate with fireworks not find nuts."
- igraham09, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11look who's talking... "anymore stupider" wtf?
- phliver, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Thats an artilery shell. not a roman candle
- MeredithTesla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Natural selection is a very good thing. Too bad we safetly label the hell out of everything to prevent it happening more often.
- devindotcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9That was almost me last night! He didn't even have the kind that explode at the end. I'm kinda glad we didn't see the aftermath though.
- brhad56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Looks like an artilery shell to me too. A roman candle is longer and thinner. Notice the tube with the smoking end? That's the fuse burning down to the shell. I'm guessing he put the shell in upside down and it exploded in the tube.
- tnedor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Darwin Award Finalist ??
- knupso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6brhad beet me to it.
They are fireworks that are called artilary shells. I got some sitting in my kitchen. - EdwardsNH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I didn't realize they caught my vasectomy on video.
- sick_spd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6How come they didn't post more footage? I wanted to see the poor bastard in pain.
- imsvsims, on 10/18/2008, -1/+6Watching it in slow motion... priceless.
I would say poor guy, but why!?
WHY!? - shoover, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Smoke = wick. He had it pointed towards him, and he knew it, hence the comments of his friends.
- Metasquares, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think this incident *removed* some stupidity from the human race. I don't imagine he'll be reproducing anytime soon.
- zerovertex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Does this make him a candidate for a Darwin Award?
- kcb2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Just imagine this kid trying to explain what he did to his parents as the rush him to the ER. Then having to explain all over again to the ER doctors. Then there's the phone call to the insurance company explaining how the injury occured.
Oh to be a fly on the wall to those conversations... - drigz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8I know you're joking but how many artillery shells do you see that spray out pretty red glowy bits?
- enesisx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Maybe sparklers would be a better match for this young man.
- neodon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Looks like Darwin had a busy weekend!
- Boondoggle, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5That is great but as pointed out above, that was not a roman candle.
- PeterBassett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So, anyone know the story of the aftermath? How is he?
- calebegg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Just so everyone knows:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_candle
Roman candles are a type of fireworks, with long, thick paper tubes that contain layers of "stars" and lifting charges. When ignited, pyrotechnic stars shoot from the tube one at a time. - furto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2lol yer didnt you see the 'balls' go flying
- nstern2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This guy makes Darwin proud!
- ddales, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I thought roman candles just shot out the projectiles (either exploding or non-exploding kind)? This one looks like the entire cylinder exploded?
Still, dude is stupid as mud. - theoallardyce, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Please tell me theres some more footage of this!
Total Darwin, no sympathy. - billygreen23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ummmm yeeeahh.
- spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That wasn't a roman candle, that was a mortar.
- shoover, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3The rest of us are just hoping he'll never be able to reproduce.
- BlackCow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Because of idiots like these hurting themselvs with fireworks they make them illigal in MA, where I live :-( At least I can just go up to NH :-)
- mrmidgetman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Just when I thought the human race could not get anymore stupider, this happens."
Everyone mod him back up. We need to advertise his stupidity. - daone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2They already showed this on the "daily nut" podcast. But I still want to know like everyone else, did the guy live or not?
I'll agree that must have been one interesting conversation in the E.R. explaining what happended to the doctors. - kurrent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://my.break.com/Media/View.aspx?ContentID=74589
another idiot with a roman candle - DarknessGP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Ok, I've noticed reading through the comments that some of you don't read the comments before posting...
So, I'll say it again, like many many many people said before. It was NOT a roman candle but a mortar. And the way that it just exploded probably means it was put in the tube upside down, which means it was put in their on purpose like that. The guy is a moron and deserves whatever he got for being that stupid. - Seizure, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Im thankful. I've been to places where there are only two things on the billboards: Fireworks and Porn. And Pedro's South of the Border. Honestly, Im glad it's not like that here.
- mrmidgetman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Not TOO smart.
- xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ya I don't think many people have ever shot a roman candle before, so they don't know the difference.
