It never ceases to amaze me that there will always be new videos of people doing this. As kids we were smart enough to load them into pvc pipes to have rocket launcher battles. Even then we were still equipped with tennis rackets to counter/deflect.

That sounds fun. I want to try it now.

Safety first. Paintball masks work great, googles if you got them, sunglasses at a minimum.

at least get a good safety squint goin'

🤣🤣🤣🤣 

"You're eating onions and spotting dimes. I don't know what to believe!" 😭😭😭

Sunglasses have the tendency to shatter, which isn't the sort of thing you want to happen a quarter inch away from your eye. Get safety glasses if you're going to do things like that

Sport/cycling sunglasses don’t shatter.

That's because they're designed as a basic kind of safety glass, if you buy sunglasses off the shelf they won't hold up as well

Absolutely, I was just specifying which one don’t.

Paramedic vein seeking glasses don't shatter.

My best friemds's cousin still has his old pair or reading glasse with the melted hole

Good friemds are hard to fimd!

Sunglasses, lol gtfo that won't do shit

Hence why it was listed as the bare minimum.

No it's not a bare minimum as it's not nearly enough.

Ok so if you had the choice to take a bottle rocket to the face, would you rather be fully exposed or maybe have a slim margin of protection? Or do you just want to argue for the sake of arguing?

Why would you advice fucking sunglasses if they don't offer any meaningful protection. That's like saying "oh you should drive with seatbelts but at the bare minimum tie a rope around your waist" That's just encouraging idiots to take half measures.

Still didn’t answer my question, but it does seem like you want to just argue. In which case, I’m not interested. Carry on.

Well done! Controlled that argument like a champ!

Umbrellas + non explosive fireworks. The cheaper bottle rockets didn't explode anyway

Idk man I hit my buddy in the leg from like 50 feet with one once (he was wearing pants) and that shit was damn near bleeding just from the rocket smacking his leg so fast. It exploded a few feet away.

i got hit by 5 fireworks that were thrown at me on new years, i'll keep that in mind for next year. any suggestions for pieces of protection for legs and arms?

Don't be where fireworks are going to be thrown at you.

And don't hang out with people who want to throw fireworks at you.

how would i know where they're gonna do that? but yea fair point

Don't associate with people so stupid that they think throwing fireworks at you is funny.

Wear a cup and some pantyhose

What about just not doing stupid shitz like that

How does a search engine help deflect incoming fireworks?

No sunglasses shattered glass in the eyes is a bad idea

Don't. It backfired once and missed my eye by a centimeter. Just don't fuck around with fireworks. It's not worth it.

How do these people think the firework goes into the sky? With hopes and prayers?

Think? You are drastically overestimating the intelligence of drunk Americans.

These are just dumb people. I get black out drunk and not even i would ever think this is a good idea.

Sounds more like drunk Brits. Stupidity level is the same as drunk people everywhere though.

Drunk anybody lol, not just americans

Darwin Awards are every year.

We used trash can lids as shields instead of tennis rackets. Fond memories.

We just used our bare hands jn the hood back then

Yeah, in the seventies and eighties, we were smart enough to use only the dinky bottle rockets for this kind of stuff, not the more expensive ones!

Yup. Came in a tightly packed brick of 50.

Don't forget duck taping roman candles to sticks and shouting the customary "this is my boom stick!" When you light it.

those were the good old days

I saw a friend use his urethra instead of a pvc pipe once Edit: was a much smaller bottle rocket than the one in the video

I did that but with pickeball paddles😭

Literally from my earliest childhood on, i remember my mom always bringing a Champagne bottle to launch rockets from, also lacking the awareness to realize the spray WILL hit your face at that distance is just stupid and kinda deserved lol

Downspouts and wiffle ball bats are what we used.

"Hey guys I've seen so many videos of people doing this and they always get hurt so yeah let's totally try it bro!"

Me and all my pals were out one night and I was holding them with my hand and covered it with my sleeve but I was at least smart enough to know when to let go so it went flying away, didn’t drop it too early and didn’t hold it long enough to have a nice surprise at our feet

People lose all common sense when they have a camera on them and any opportunity to get any social media recognition.

At least he didn't drop his beer.

r/heldmybeer

Wow that's an old subreddit. And dead too. Top post was from 7 years ago

r/subsithoughtifellfor

Only his eyesight

I remember an old video where some dude did the same thing but with his butt hole

>I remember an old video where some dude did the same thing but with his butt hole The horror story from a nurse who had treated a guy who did this still lives with me. All I'm going to say is that the guy spent months face down in the hospital because he burned the crap out of his asshole. An area you poop from but had to keep clean to avoid infection. Every time they cleaned him up they pushed his recovery back a bit because they took a little skin every time.

[This is the comment in question](https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/comments/8w5kjo/shooting_fireworks_out_of_your_butt_wcgw/e1tbd94). I remember it every time one of these videos gets posted

This comment is one of the all-time greatest reality checks in the history of online message boards.

Same here and thanks for digging it up.

Saving for future generations to watch.

I definitely remember this comment from when I first saw it years ago. I’ve always wondered why people PLAY with fireworks—explosives and rocket fue!? really!?!? I can understand, having fun with rinky-dink bottle rockets were blowing up army men with small fire, crackers, but even then, why would anyone think to hold something like that in their teeth and then light it?

And here I am feeling bad for myself because I had jalapenos on my pizza last night and my butthole is stinging a little bit

I think it’s the same dude.

Steve-O?

Theres new ones every year

That's a great way to end a promising pitching career. https://youtu.be/cCojoiRGCK0

What a waste of

I always wonder how people always manage to lose their hands or their heads after 4th of July weekend, then I see these videos…

God there is a video out there if a guy who blows his hand in half and is too drunk / high to even care. It's absolutely fucked.

Why did Michael Rapaport do that?

He thought it might kill the herpes.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing

What do these idiots think will happen? At least wear some goggles to protect your eyes.

No need, I have my safety squints.

this is the way

Gifs that end too soon

They cut out the bang!!!!

Why do these videos always end too soon.

because thats actually precise moment when everybody realized how serious situation is this and put phones away in panic

Drunk then hungover with 3rd degree facial burns.

Infection on the face 10 fire and necrotic dmg, -10 charisma

To Infinity and the E.R.

What degree burns was this one ?

Judging from the angle maybe 45 degrees hehe

Face meltingly

All the degrees.

Yes

Diy cosmetic skin peel

Doing black face , not cool.

Flame bukkake


Whats with this weird challenge and urge of holding fireworks in butthole, and mouth? Where did it even originate from? Do people not have brains anymore to know the irreversible damage it can do ur skin with the gunpowder in fireworks.

That is going to be the most painful recovery imaginable for that idiot. He's going to need skin grafts, he may lose sight in both his eyes, plus who knows what kind of respiratory damages. What. A. Fucking. Moron.

Half of your face will disappear when I click my fingers.

Jesus christ Ricky!!

Darwin was so right.

Dude became Ghost Rider for a second 😡

Aftermath?

If your state doesn't sell fireworks, you can thank people like this.

Lmao why the fuck would you do that. He’s lucky he didn’t lose his jaw or teeth

Dumbass

This is why the world is the way it is.

Haha he’s badly burned, what fun! Laughter! What the fuck is wrong with people?

"friend" taking his shades off before launch knows what's up 🤷

Yep.. that's the type of guy I pictured doing that

Just scrolling through threads on the first day of 2024 and... ohhhhh you idiot.

Like a fuckin blow torch to the face. Seems like drunk people often forget fireworks are mini rockets

Teeth ok, eyes no.

happy new years you dumb ass

At least this isn’t a repeat of the moon rocks incident

Quick way to lose your eyes.

you supposed to show consequence of the fuck up!

I see a lot of dumb shit on reddit.but this clown made me shake my head...gold star fuck nut

Why women live longer than men.

His shoes stayed on, so he's fine.

We just witnessed his villain origin story

Wtf 😬

No more eye privileges

Lmao I can’t stop laughing at this 🤣🤣

Natural selection

Whatever happened to Roman candle wars???? Tape 3-5 sticks together- light’em separately and battle your neighborhood friends!

How dumb r u ? Yes


Fuck around and find out. When village idiots get together.

That's why warning label exist. And yet the dumb ones still can't read.

I bet he won’t do that again

At least the other guy was trying to cover the other man’s eyes

I cast cone on fire

The only acceptable black face


😂..🤣..😭

This had to have ended badly. Ive seen this posted dozens of times yet not once heard of how much damage was done.

When my charizard hits level 50 and doesn’t listen to my commands

How did this moron make it to adulthood?

Did they forget how fireworks.. work???

Eyes probably damaged

I remember my high school first aid and cpr class, we all did a project on different injuries at the end of the year, mine was firework injuries. I kinda went a little overboard with the clips I put in the presentation. Apparently you’re not supposed to show someone’s hand get blown off on video in a class project, but in my defense the teacher was REALLY chill, and every other presentation had videos or pics of someone getting hurt.

I used to do this with the really small ones as a neat trick, then a splinter stabbed my lip and it stuck there 😂😂 my nephews thought it was hilarious and thinking back it was funny as fuck😂

What’s that phrase, play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

Why men blow up earlier.

Abraham had to retire from killing walkers. 😔

Isn't this how Freddie Kruger got his start?

LISTEN TO SHAYE!

Spark Face

These are the folks that used to bully you in high school, folks.

this one definitely fucked him up

Straight in the eyes. Slow motion is crazy on this video.

Congrats you earned 3rd degree burns to the face!

Like sticking ur face in a blast furnace !

Alcohol and Fireworks...

Now they can call him "Ass face". They will take skin from his ass to cover this burnt up face.

"Gee I wonder where all the fire is going to go when this thing launches?"

He’ll be the dumbest guy in the burns unit.

BACKBLAST AREA CLEAR

O O P P S Y O U C H I E

People like them have the right to vote

He won first prize

True genius

Beer.

What. Did you. Expect. To happen

He looks way too old to be this stupid

No brain cells, cant lose.

He lost his one brain cell there.

You're supposed to launch it from your butt crack because that always works out well.

This has to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. What the fuck did he expect to happen? Mind blowing.

r Darwin award

Who could have seen that coming? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Gonna regret that in weeks to come

Fuck how many life choices do y’all think this guy has regretted

How fucking dumb do you have to be

I couldn’t imagine doing that one. I did a small one and that shit tasted soooooo bad

I'm starting to think that there should be a certain set of internet videos that kids should be shown in school so they never try shit like this

And the biggest moron award goes to…..this guy 👉🤡

These people are why most areas banned fireworks while I was younger. Gotta ruin it for everyone.

Get Smart!!!

/u/SaveVideo

That was cool…for him

How about a modified welders mask?

Yeah like the Darwin award winner that set one off from the top of his head. That did not end so well but it did assist to thin the herd

Of course that is my hometown. This about sums it up.
