He added: "This sort of thing is beyond belief. We have spent a long time working with the Government to create laws that make fireworks safer and better for the public.
Guess they need to add another law prohibiting "bum launching" . :? :lol:

On a serious note, this is really a stupid thing to do for a 22-year-old man. The internal injuries must be horrific. But again this is what Hollywood does to impressionable minds and not so bright people. I read in our paper the dumb SOB was imitating a scene from "Jackass 2". :roll:

PEPCON Corp, Henderson, Nev. July 1988. That explosion registered a 3.5 on the Richter scale at a California observing station.

Ammonion Perchlorate in the estimated amount of 8.5 million lbs went up in smoke in several explosions. The one pictured was the grand finale and pretty much flattened Henderson, Nev.

The white building to left of the blast was a marshmellow factory. :?

The video was filmed from 4 miles distant.

There were only 2 fatalities.
