To be honest, I hate fireworks. I've never set off my own, and I've hardly ever a fireworks display -- only a couple of times during Canada Day.

"No, I've always been lucky with them"

I have done some rather stupid things with fireworks, but not in a long time. Looking back on some of the stuff I have done though, I consider myself lucky.

I've never set off proper fire-works. Only a couple of small thrown things. It is one of my unfulfilled dreams!

Had a firecracker go off in my hand. Thought I hadn't lit it because the lighter I was using was just sparking and not producing a flame. Turned my attention to the lighter and the next thing I knew, "POW!!!" My hand was numb for a couple of minutes and sure enough the lighter starting working perfectly.

No I have been careful, though i was almost injured with them but it was not my doing. My brothers and my neighbors would always have wars with the fire works. I had a bunch of trees around my house and they always caught on fire. Nothing too serious but it was pretty scary and fun dodging all the fireworks. tongue
