A method of dying
L
Russians?

Boris, Florida Man’s long lost brother-cousin
R
Florida man can’t hold in comparison to a Russian school girl tbh. If it drops below 70f Florida man begins to hibernate
A
Why do all the yankee fucks always come to Florida then ?
D
It’s warm and has a lower COL, honestly if they all spoke English in PR, I know plenty of folks up here that would pick PR as a destination to snow bird in.
R
Because it’s warm tropical and sunny year round. Where else can you get that in America
S
(*except for the hurricanes)
R
Floridians first hurricane: buy water, generator, fill the bathtub check emergency services 2nd hurricane: who has the rum?
T
Too die
M
Always fucking Russians.

Except when it’s Floridians or Japanese. ;-P

Literally the first thing I thought of.

You’re assuming their brains were receiving enough oxygen to begin with.

tbf, this looks like store-bought fireworks. So apart from breathing shit air (and I assume lifts have some protection against smoke situations), these fireworks are very rarely crazy dangerous. so while absolutely stupid, this looks a lot more dangerous on camera, than it is. Edit: I think probably the biggest risk is one of their polyester jackets catching fire..
D
What can you get that isn’t store-bought firework? I often hear about firework related injuries around new years, some are pretty grim
W
illegal fireworks…? in most civilized countries the legal fireworks would only be able to cause serious injuries in either crazy inappropriate misuse, or especially unlucky circumstances (i.e. bottle with rocket falling over, hitting someone in the eye directly). Mostly these horrible injuries are caused by people doing stupid shit to begin with. For an average NYE rocket or cracker to blast off a finger, you need to really go out of the way of normal use, as in it needs to explode in your closed hand – even then I’ve literally seen drunk guys do this with a cracker, and while it looked painful, it wasn’t nearly close to losing a finger or anything. In the video here they seem to use roman lights, which are not very explosive to begin with, and something here in Europe I was allowed to handle even as a kid between 6-10 years old or something on NYE. What we did as teenagers was scrap all the powder from the NYE stuff and build a lot stronger shit – yeah, that’s where you can lose much more than a finger.

Oh, yeah. I remember a story in my country from a while ago, a mom and her child watched inside as the dad lit up illegal fireworks. He blew himself up. The name of the firework even has “bomb” in it. Highly illegal. Yet people still do it. I didn’t think of illegal fireworks because most of the illegal firework in my country is usually still store bought, just from other countries.

I live in Netherlands, notorious for their love of heavy fireworks (illegal). Between November until End of Jan you’ll regularly hear illegal fireworks going off triggering an entire street of car alarms. this is the kinda shit people pull here lol: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I7xNhz7W44Y

Oh hi! We’re somewhat close, I Danish. It has been legal to buy fireworks since the 15th this months, but I have heard fireworks for longer than that. And it’s getting worse day by day. There not even allowed to use it yet, it’s only legal to use Dec 31th and Jan 1st. I don’t know why they’re allowed to sell it two weeks before it’s allowed to be used, of course it’s going to be used. As an annoying pet owner I hate fireworks. My current puppy is so far, somewhat handling it okay, but my late dog hated it. She was heavily drugged on benzo’s over new years. I can handle a single day, that’s fair. But it’s annoying when you have a scared dog for over a month, that just keeps hiding, shaking, drooling, hyperventilating and won’t leave the house. I’m doing everything to work on getting my puppy used to it, we have discussed it a lot in puppy class but a lot of puppies are fine the first year but then don’t handle it well after that. They can be trained to tolerate it to a degree, but not all.

Interesting, I checked some stats and increasingly tight laws are not lower injuries.

Kind of reminds me of during the end of the lockdowns when many restaurants were opening illegally. One thing I noticed is some of those open places went even more pirate than just being open, they also let pet dogs inside and kinda pitched out other rules as well, like if you are going to be illegal, may as well do the full monty. There may be a point in many arenas where increasing regulation backfires because people just stop trying to comply at all and do whatever they want instead.

Iv seen ‘legal fireworks’ blow a pumpkin to bits. Including roman candles and screacharoos (Screaming firework thingy that just fires off sparks) if they get damaged before lighting… Never hold lit fireworks.
W
Not sure if we are talking about the same roman candles, look at the video, they have like a 2cm/1inch diameter. I’m sure there are bigger versions, too. But the ones in the video will not blow a pumpkin apart easily.
B
Trust me.. when damaged, those will definitely blow apart a pumpkin. Iv done it, and so did many other kids in my neighborhood growing up. That is like the standard size for romen candles too. The difference between propellant and explosive is burn rate and pressures. And it takes surprisingly little energy to blow apart a pumpkin (or human hand) when its in the form of a shockwave. Legal fireworks are only legal because they all tell you to put them into the ground and back away to a safe distance, and any failure won’t be strong enough to send debris far enough to badly injure you. Lots of people go to the hospital every year and have lost fingers from legal fireworks, even roman candles.
T
I get my fireworks from the govt, duh
L
When I was a kid, my father would go to China town in San Francisco and buy bootleg fireworks before the 4th, as did many of our neighbors. These days, there are like 10 or more illegal after shows to the official city fireworks, everyone and their uncle has bootleg fireworks from Mexico and unlike when I was kid, many of them are the kind that are shot skyward. The cops drive around trying to stop it but they never can, perps see them coming and just melt away. You can’t easily prove who lit something or didn’t.
S
Or just all the smoke inhalation. Once long ago we had a fucking idiot on a job light a road flare in a confined space that took a few minutes to climb out of. Pretty much everyone that was down there got pneumonia. I’d assume firework smoke isn’t quite as bad (Although who knows in Russia), but it’s still not great.
W
yeah, I agree – stupid stuff. But as you said, I’d guess for a flare the use is clearly emergency, so it’s a relevant but secondary thought regarding toxic fumes – while legal fireworks are exposed to a much bigger sample size, and thus are probably more regulated mostly.
D
> I think probably the biggest risk is one of their polyester jackets catching fire.. That and not enough oxygen
W
Fireworks contain much of their own oxidiser the main risk is toxic fumes.
T
fire in an enclosed place is always bad news, it can use up all the oxygen very quickly
W
I’ll be incredibly surprised if this isn’t Russian
E
Actually Poland 😄

Well that wasn’t very smart
