- digg it
- DasPope, on 10/12/2007, -37/+2reverse bukkake
- mikesheddan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Watching it in slow motion... priceless.
I would say poor guy, but why!?
WHY!? - IIII, on 10/12/2007, -25/+1bury
- adekaria0530, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2It doesn't look like he realizes that it is pointed the wrong way.
But he is still a dumb ass!- 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.
- furto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2lol yer didnt you see the 'balls' go flying
- shoover, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Smoke = wick. He had it pointed towards him, and he knew it, hence the comments of his friends.
- 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.
- phliver, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Thats an artilery shell. not a roman candle
- 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?
- 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.
- 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. - knupso, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Bury my comments. I had momentary spelling lapse.
- knobenheimer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2definitely a mortar.
- Madcowz, on 10/12/2007, -25/+1*****
- TwisteR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Just when I thought the human race couldn't get any more idiotic.
- LarianLeQuella, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Trust me, if it's made idiot proof, humans come up with a better idiot!
- 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.
- 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.- interiot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Explosives can be tricky... if the cardboard tubing is too weak, the flame may be able to get behind a ball, and can light off two balls at a time. If the cardboard is preventing one of the balls from moving, most of that ball's energy might be used to light nearby balls, instead of shooting out the tube.
- mrmidgetman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i saw a different video where you could actually see the tube flying away in front of him.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.- Boondoggle, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5That is great but as pointed out above, that was not a roman candle.
- JoeyDeacon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Do you think he went back to pick up his knackers?
- joel8x, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2If he was holding it properly, it would just be unfortunate. Ain't it funny how (im)proper placement makes this enjoyable instead of sad?
- 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 - PeterBassett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So, anyone know the story of the aftermath? How is he?
- 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.
- dcipjr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28His town is having a weenie roast in memory of him.
- sidnangia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20atleast he can try it again if he wants....... he's probably got nothing to loose . ;)
- zerovertex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Does this make him a candidate for a Darwin Award?
- 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. - VPurpmalkV, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Don't you have to die to get a Darwin award. I'm pretty sure he would only get an honorable mention for this.
- halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I think it means he WINS a Darwin award.
- Darkness123, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Just when I thought the human race could not get anymore stupider, this happens.
- igraham09, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11look who's talking... "anymore stupider" wtf?
- 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.
- neodon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Looks like Darwin had a busy weekend!
- sick_spd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6How come they didn't post more footage? I wanted to see the poor bastard in pain.
- lashout, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0now that's my hero... what a dumb ass
- theoallardyce, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Please tell me theres some more footage of this!
Total Darwin, no sympathy. - Dotnetsky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Confucius say, "Man who masturbate with fireworks not find nuts."
- fetusface, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3What has happend to digg........
- Kailash.Nadh, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I back you. Digg's quality is deteriorating day by day.
- EdwardsNH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I didn't realize they caught my vasectomy on video.
- 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... - macmetwo, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0Not to smart. You need to be more careful you could harm yourself.
- mrmidgetman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Not TOO smart.
- puithove, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1With any luck this guy won't be adding to the gene pool.
- PeterBassett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16You know what the really sad thing about this?
His *friends* still posted the video on the internet. - enesisx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Maybe sparklers would be a better match for this young man.
- lightningrod220, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Nah. He'd still find a way to light himself on fire with them.
- spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That wasn't a roman candle, that was a mortar.
- 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.
- raid517, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2OK it was dumb... But am I the only one who is concerned if he was alright?
What happened to him? Did he get badly burned?- shoover, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3The rest of us are just hoping he'll never be able to reproduce.
- raid517, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3You people are horrible. That was still a human being there who looks like he may have been horribly maimed or injured. If it was some poor guy having his throat cut would you still laugh, would you still find it funny?
Me personally, no matter how silly the person may have been, I simply can't bring myself to laugh at someone else's mysery and pain.
If you ask me, it is people like you who say things like this that should be removed from the gene pool. - raid517, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Well screw you people then, I hope everyone just stands around laughing when one of you has a serious accident and are writhing in agony.
It's not like none of you have ever acted like jerks when you are with your buddies and are showing off.
Being a jerk when you are a guy and young and are with your friends is the one thing that most guys do best.
- 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. - mikEdub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1ahhhhhhhhhhahahahahahah
people like that are the reason real fireworks are banned in PA - 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. - JoeyDaioh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MORTARZ FTW!
- Scriptic, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Am I the only person whose not going to watch this video?
read the comments here first, seriously people, no concern for humanity at all.
This guy sounds like he was being stupid, but i'm findng it hard to understand why whoever tapped the incident uploaded it. There's no shortage of stupid people, the story isn't shocking, i'm sure he's not the first person to light himself on fire, but the fact that there's a video of it?
that's mega cruel.- billygreen23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ummmm yeeeahh.
- 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 :-)
- 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.
