What was going through his head?
The fireworks 💥

Stupidity deserves consequences.

It doesn’t take a bottle-rocket scientist to figure out this was a bad idea.

How did he make it all the way to 41

I have heard many such cases for Darwin awards but nothing as insane as this

[@jamesstuart3346]

Darwin Award is early this year

[@johnathandavis3693]

His last words were "Watch this!"...

[@Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

Thought he said “Hold my beer” just before that! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

Why would you want to put a firework on your head?! 😳

Sounds like his 3 brain cells were impaired by alcohol.

This guy's a real professional, because I don't how he made it through this story without cracking up.

Darwin Award winner 😢. RIP🙏🏾

[@45vinyljunkie]

Yeah, it might be tough to top this one, but there are still six months left in the year.

[@Kevin-kr5ok]

What more details ?

[@45vinyljunkie]

I'm sure there were people watching and recording this with their cell phones. Let's see some video.
How this guy made it to 41 years of age is beyond me.

[@45vinyljunkie]

@@SmokEatr73 Actually, I don't. But I can't believe somebody could be stupid enough to do something this moronic. Do people this dumb really exist?

Darwin Award Hall of Fame nominee. Do I have a second?

[@danielbooker3508]

Somebody was holding his beer.

[@scoobysnacks8544]

That is not a fireworks accident, that is pure stupidity. This one is definitely up for a Darwin Award.

[@politicsuncensored5617]

Can we say he didn't use his head or did he? Shalom

[@californianorma876]

oof

[@akrampusate]

Sounds like that fire worked.

[@metacapitalism5113]

Sounds like a Darwin Award is in order 😮

[@stewarta5993]

well that backfired

[@gottagift]

He must have believed it when Moe told Curly "Don't worried kid. Everybody knows that dynamite only blows up!"

[@Ghostface24315]

That is NOT a accident. When the idiots make up their statistics on accidents with fireworks this better not be included.

[@60Airflyte]

Do you think he was trying to unalive himself? I think he was just that stupid.

[@Ghostface24315]

@@60Airflyte no don't think it was intentional

[@60Airflyte]

@@Ghostface24315 I’m confused. You said it wasn’t an accident but it also wasn’t intentional. Can you please explain so I understand?

[@Ghostface24315]

@@60Airflyte well there is such a thing as a unintentional homicide so I would say it's a unintentional suicide. Any more questions?

[@60Airflyte]

@@Ghostface24315 he put them on his own head. That’s not homicide. Look it up.

[@anthonypirozzi837]

Damn those faulty head mounted fireworks🤔

[@ohreally8929]

Definitely not going to get ahead using them.

[@jerrymartin3965]

How did he make it for 41 years? Was there alcohol involved?

[@gottagift]

Was there alcohol involved? Play video again and listen carefully as the say his last name.

[@Moondoggy1941]

Look Mom no hands. Wait

[@Smedley1947]

Apparently some people have no idea just how powerful some of the charges inside of fireworks really are. I wouldn't have done this when I was 13 years old and playing with such things.

This happens about every 5 Years!!! Time for a warning sticker!!! What should it say????

[@lawrencelewis2592]

Don't light it when it is on your head.
Don't light it while holding it in your mouth
Seriously, years ago, a kid lit a bottle rocket while holding it in his mouth. It went off and went down his throat and killed him. His friends said that they could hear it explode.

Is stupidity accidental or inherited?

[@privateprivate6800]

His family will be haunted by 4th of July for eternity. I pray for ALL who loved and knew him, especially his small son.
