      I’m curious if the firework malfunctioned though. I know he’s dumber than a doornail and it’s a risky move, but theoretically aerial fireworks are not supposed to explode on the ground. They have a smaller explosion contained to a tube that launches it in the air, and that shouldn’t have been enough to end him.

    As a society, we need to do a better job informing the public about how top hats are not an adequate protection from firework explosions. This should be mandatory learning for all fifth graders. Top hats should only be employed during magic tricks and on rare occasions at swinger parties. The fact that this is not widely understood in modern society is a sad testament to the state of our educational system.

    Personally, I think it is foolish that so many people handle fireworks carelessly or use them for toys and pranks. They are explosives, after all. You shouldnt horse around with things that you cannot fully control. I am especially aghast to see how many kids go off and play with fireworks or have access to them because the adults cant be responsible enough to secure them or supervise their children.
