Things down here, one is when an m-80 went off it blew off the hand of one of the mannequins and thats serious business because it could blow off somebodys hand if you blow one of those up. another was a mortar-style aerial fire work, somebody was leaning over too far when they hit it and that blew off the head of the mannequin, so it could cause serious injuries. so they warn a couple of things, dont let kids use the sparklers, be very careful with the homemade ones, and there is a recall of th...
