Guy is trying to set off a powerful firecracker, but it explodes sooner than expected – just as he picks it up. The explosion causes a bloody, but fortunately not extremely serious, injury to his hand. He’s lucky, though, as he was just a hair’s breadth away from losing his fingers.
It’s always crucial to take strict safety precautions when handling fireworks. Proper storage and handling – while sober – is a must. Additionally, one should always assume that any firework may be defective.
