"fireworks expert lights fireworks in his hand" that removes the expert part out of the sentence...
ikr lol
He is now a graduate of fireworks academy.
Lmao
Also, and even more shocking to me, he lit it while working at a fireworks stand. He’s lucky he didn’t blow up the whole place.
🤣🤣🤣
He was lighting a firework in his hand. STUPID
He was lighting a firework while in a fireworks tent 1 MILLION X BEYOND STUPID
I was going to say the same thing.
Darwin award winner.
Technically it just said he was working at the tent. It didn't say he lit one off while in the tent. I assume they took it outside. Still dumb to light while holding it but so many of us have been guilty of that.
@@user-dq5xx9hi4q Shouldn't be lighting fireworks anywhere near the fireworks tent.
@@user-dq5xx9hi4q It still could have went in that direction if he was holding it, he probably let go when he saw his missing thumb.
Im done feeling sorry for stupid people.
Then start laughing
Trump voter.
Poor republicans. They just love to wear out empathy for themselves. Good thing the only other people stupid enough to compete with them is the democrats
I don't feel sorry of Trump either.
Typical Biden voting clown response
Small detail: He was lighting a firework while working at a fireworks stand!!! He's lucky to be alive and even luckier that he didn't kill anyone else.

The description by the opening anchor says “he was holding a firework when it went off right in his hand”. More accurately “he was holding a firework while he lit it”.
Likely a beer in the other because unless you are drinking, watching shiny lights and listening to explosions gets tedious after like four minutes.

I had to yell at my neighbors for setting off huge fireworks in the middle of the dry field. We are in a drought. It feels as if People don't have any common sense.
It more than feels, it's an absolute.
Common sense will soon go extinct.
Common sense, along with common courtesy are becoming very rare commodities these days.
Bingo
Don't hold large fireworks and attempt to throw them.
@traybernmaybe the fuse was tad too short
Even a lit firecracker can do significant damage.
@@stevennagley3407 : I've seen long fuses burn faster than others that were shorter, but not too short.
The only thing he's upset about is he won't be able to flip people off while driving.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He can always give them the elbow. 😐
Honey, I'm on the toilet, can you lend me a few fingers?
Everybody just thinks he's waving.
And hamburgers at his new job.
He lit it at the tent?
Yes my thought exactly. Multiple layers of stupid.
It's "Florida Man" - what else would you expect?
Wonder if he was drunk or tweaking too... I mean how did both hands get blown up and not just one, you know he is down playing the level of stupid while trying to pretend he is a professional..... Who really believes that?
They make all the MAGA Hats
It began with “Florida man”…..no one is surprised after that.
Could've been West Virginia.
Mama always said stupid is as stupid does.
Generally speaking, you have to be smarter than the fireworks. He is not.
Because....Florida.
Why are you so miserable?😂
First rule is to not light fireworks in your hand i thought.
My rule is to not light fireworks at all. It is a primitive reflex to need to see flames or sparks. It is what you would think a caveman would enjoy. Celebrate Independence Day with a feast, a sombre ceremony of how America became her own entity. Recognize the indigenous cultures that accepted us. Be THANKFUL that we were accepted by some and respectful of those that did not accept us.
'Fireworks Expert' (quotation marks)
You're not suppose to hold and light the fireworks for this very reason.
The society is flooded with dopes.Look how they drive tailgate race to a red light then jam on the brakes.
You know this. I know this. But this is Florida.
Ignorance sometimes moves right into stupidity.
Washing your hands with gasoline and then lighting a cigarette is also dangerous.
But yet, there have been those who have tried, ........................... and failed.
Yeah I'll definitely never do that again.
He'll be back at it again using his feet
What a memory for the kids at the fireworks tent lol. Hey kids wanna see something cool .....boooom
Aw, shucks, I can do that.
😆🤣🤣🤣
He won't do that again!
Nope. Hard to hold fireworks with no fingers. LOL
Florida Man - he just might............
@@frey8725remember he has a couple fingers left
@@gregdolecki8530 well he still got teeth
Yes he will. The 1st time was in 2022. 1 finger a year so he still has a few years to go.

Yes. And he never said this firework was a sparkler or a Roman candle designed to be held.

No more chopsticks.
I learned that you don't hold a lit firework (except maybe a sparkler) when I was about 4 years old, and I just turned 70.
My brother was a patient at a burn treatment center, he said there was a guy in there who put a bottle rocket in between his teeth, tilted his head back and lit it
Says he was experienced around fireworks. Proceeds to describe lighting an explosive firework he was holding. 🤕
I’m glad he had full health care coverage… oh wait, it’s the USA.
Dumb. As long as you're bleeding they have to treat you. No so true in the "better" countries. "We recommend euthanasia."

The illegal fireworks that ABOUND absolutely RUIN the 4th in my neighborhood. I have no tears for this type of injury. LEAVE THE FIREWORKS TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT for a big Park event!
Better yet, cancel all fireworks. They are noise pollution and dangerous even by "professionals." KAREN is overused by those with no imagination, who see losing limbs as "fun."
Boy I’ll bet the 2 of you are fun at parties😆🙄🤪
I never heard of a fire department that lets off fireworks. Canceling fireworks because they can be dangerous is just plain silliness. Life is full of risks and things will happen.

@@mariebussinger6565
Okay Karen. I get it. You don't like it so it has to be banned.
There's supposed to be a delay after a firework is lit. 99.9% of the time, there is a delay. But that .1% is always lurking out there. Fireworks, hand-grenades, anything designed specifically to explode.
I wait for this kind of news every year like people wait for superbowl ads
Am I supposed to feel sympathetic?
NEWS: This just in.... fireworks still go
There’s enough of these stories to convince me not to be around when people are lighting these off. A man from a childhood neighborhood blew himself and his truck to pieces. He was lighting them and throwing them out the window.
Dynamite?
@@davetomei4853 yep. 1/4 sticks
Kind of don't feel sorry for these people at all. I hate fireworks so much.
I don't even know how people afford fireworks, especially with the economy right now.
I gave up on fireworks back when I was just a kid, during the 60's. I had a regular Blackcat fire cracker blow up in my fingers. Luckily all I got was severe burns, blood blisters and lots of pain, all my fingers survived.
Back in the '60s, I wasn't even allowed to have Blackcats. I had to have those less-powerful tiny red firecrackers and I had to put them on the ground before I lit it with a punk.
My cousins used to get those red firecrackers as well. They amused themselves by lighting them in the car while driving and throwing them out the window. One blew back into the car almost immediately after they threw it and it went off on the car floor. I figured I would be better off not joining them in these rides.
It's crazy. Here in maine, some guy blew his head off a few years back, playing with a dud
At least he still has his hands.
@@Bob31415 Gotta hand it to ya for that one

Poor guy. He’s all thumbs.

Too soon? lol
Actually, no thumbs and only a couple of fingers.
I grew up knowing this guy who got messed up like that.
Dude could still roll perfect joints!
@@PogueMahone1 😂
No, he lost those too.
How is he going to pick his nose
Toes.
That's what friends are for.
I'm sure he has friends.
With his pinkie. He won't be holding fireworks in his hand ever again, I guarantee, though.
With difficulty ! 🤣😂
When I was a kid my dad told me; "Son, don't be a fuckin' idiot"

What just happened in Utah?
"Imagine a firecracker in the palm of your hand. You set it off, what happens? You burn your hand, right?

Great movie.
Fuses jump I've learned from being dried out and old, never hold them in your hand. Back in the days this stuff was against the law, now we know why, but its about money now.
Am I supposed to hold them in my mouth? Not my hands?
I recall having these "mighty mites" that had ridiculously fast fuses when I was like 14 or so. I'm kind of surprised my friends and I kept all our fingers with how many we threw. They packed more punch than black cats, but maybe they wouldn't blow off fingers like a cherry bomb or artillery shell. Had one blow up in my hand when I brought it up near my ear to throw it, lol. It only left a black mark and stung a bit (hand and ear), but I knew not to hold them too tight.
Are you saying you're dried out and old or the fuse? Lol
Something people just don't realize, fuses do whatever they want sometimes. NEVER light fireworks while holding them.
Just listening to him talk, it is apparent that he now has as many fingers as brain cells...
They dug this up from 3 years ago? DO NOT HOLD IN HAND. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. NEVER DRINK ALCOHOL AND LIGHT FIREWORKS AT THE SAME TIME. ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE HOLD YOUR BEER!
Holding his arms out like a cartoon character saying "Welp, that's all folks!"
There's nothing i haven't seen "Florida man" do
No he wasn't just holding a firework in his hand when it went off...he had to light it first. That wasn't no sparkler or fountain or firecracker that did that damage either...
He played stupid games and... yeah.
@user, he said he lit it and dint have time to throw it, it went off as soon as he lit it.
@@paulettebarrow9791 are you having a stroke? You literally repeated what is already known. He lit a (obviously mortar or salute) firework while holding it. I mean..... is it legal to be as clueless as you are?
@@paulettebarrow9791 You would think people would learn by now? It is almost a comedy hearing these stories anymore.
@@paulettebarrow9791 Yeah, but notice all the relevant details are missing from this "news" report from an incident that happened in 2022. What type of firework was it, exactly? How did he light it (lighter or punk)? What kind of fuse did it have? Was it meant to be thrown? Was it an artillery shell that was meant to be put down in the pipe with the fuse sticking out the top? Did he try to relight one that had most of the fuse gone?
Thanks for sharing maybe SAVING someone's Life or Limb rather than feeling humiliaited letting NO good come of it. Not In Vain brother Not In Vain. GodBless you. Happy Independence Day
Amen!
In my sixty years, I've never purchased fireworks.
Interesting that a Florida News station still labels their RUclips upload beginning with "Florida Man". Wouldnt just "Man loses most of his fingers in fireworks explosion" be sufficient??
I worked with a yahoo running a tent, they wanted to test some of the inventory while we were setting up. I ran for the hills

Wow… fireworks are dumb for the environment too…. We’re in a day in age where we can have a light show without harmful materials in our atmosphere!

Common core enters the chat...
I sold fireworks for several years, and I have used them for decades, I have never seen one that said HOLD IN YOUR HAND.
Sparklers and Roman candles are designed to be held. But those are only ones I know of. Every other firework I’ve ever set off had a message on it saying “light fuse, get away”.
i thought this was onion news for a second . " florida man "
I feel so fortunate when I see stories of ridiculous mishaps that something like this could never happen to me. Danger isn't my middle name, and fireworks are silly.
For me, they're just a waste of money (which I don't have much of to begin with).
@jacklow9611 you're 100% correct, sir. Fireworks are a complete waste of money. All that noise and danger all to see pretty colors.
@@bigpun8628 : While that is a big part of it, there's more to it than that for me. Back in '79 (I believe it was) I bought an assortment of fireworks to set them off in the parking lot of my apartment complex, as a show for the residents there, About that time, my roommates moved out and the next day, came back, broke into the apartment, found the fireworks and set them off inside the apartment (we never found out why they'd done it, but they must have not liked me as much as they acted like they did). Since then, I haven't bought another firework because that could happen again, even if I am living alone.
Wow, never a firework & don't light it in your hand.
One instance changes your life.
Anyone out there says they never threw a firework, is very dull.
This video alarmed me. I might have to rethink shaving my face with my lawn mower.

We used to always hold roman candles all the time. One night i didnt feel right about it as a friends was about to light one off. I told him better off not holding it and thankfully to my advice and stuck it in the top of a stop sign post! Next thing that stop sign was flying down the street! Ill never forget that!
Roman candles don't explode like that.

Working at a tent selling them doesn’t make you a pro. The guy selling you a car isn’t a race car driver.
There is a reason the wrapper says DO NOT HOLD IN HANDS, set on ground light fuse get away. Sounds pretty simple.
