Police: New York Man Blows off Arm with Party Fireworks
Let's hope the doom for the 4th does not get any worse....

SLIP TERRACE, N.Y. -- Police say a man lighting fireworks has blown off his arm at a party on New York's Long Island.

Suffolk County police say 36-year-old Eric Smith was using a 3-foot long metal tube to shoot mortars from the street near his Islip (EYE'-slip) Terrace home around 5:45 p.m. Saturday.

Police believe he leaned over the device to ignite it and didn't get out of the way before an explosive shot out of the launcher. His left arm was severed at the shoulder.

Every year....Why do people persist in using fireworks of any kind when they don't know how to properly use them..
Will people ever learn.

3 foot long metal tube with mortar is not fireworks.
Fkn. propaganda, and on the radio today- the dangers of sparklers. We haven't even had any sparklers for at least 15 years in Cali. but they keep harpin on it. The point being, they don't want the stuff accessible to the public. Remember chemistry sets???

I don't know many fireworks that can blow a freakin' arm off.

This does sound suspicious.

I had a roman candle malfunction and damn near took my hand off. I lit it pointed it up, the fuse burned down then the whole damn thing exploded like a stick of dynamite. I had to have surgery on my hand and i don't even recall how many stitches i had to have. I have nerve damage and some serious scars.

No, he lived. and will probably have children.

If only he kept a better handle on things, this whole incident wouldn't have gotten out of hand. He should keep things like this at arms length.
