  Damn. I didn’t know there could be gore without flesh nor blood.

    These aren’t actually x-rays. They’re extremely efficient degloving incidents.

  #6-8 look to still have their thumbs, they should be able to retain some function.

  The rest look like they all get pirate hooks for their stumps

  Literally the first rule of handling firecrackers is to not lit them in the hand until you 101% sure that you will have enough time to throw it away. And still it mostly applies to small ones.

  So better to light them on the ground and quickly move you hand away, since even 4 inches of distance is much better than having point blank explosion right near your hand in case of firecracker malfunctioning.

  When I was a kid, my (pot-dealing, irresponsible as hell) grandmother would take me fishing early in the AM. Before the sun would come up, sometimes we’d set off roman candles in a line. She insisted that I be several yards away, the roman candle be properly set up on level surfaces, everything by the book.

  My ‘responsible,’ upper class inlaws have a 4th of July party where all the kids and grandkids are given roman candles to hold in their hands, with the instructions “try to point them away from people.” Of course they hold them in their dominant hands, too. Sigh.

    We did this as kids and one blew up while my brother was holding it, about an inch above his closed hand. So close to looking like one of these radiographs… Don’t hold fireworks kids.

    People who can’t afford the medical bills are better about avoiding accidents. Upper class types usually don’t get the memo until they’ve had to deal with an injury in their own circle.

  Because of birth defects and stuff like this, given that we’re all suppose to have two hands, I wonder what the actual ratio of hands to people is.

  It must be far less than 2.

  source

  • Eheran@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    “far” less, like 1.999 or something.

    source
  • sukhmel@programming.dev ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    A better question would be ratio of fingers to persons, because lost fingers ≠ lost hand, and the ratio would be more sensitive to changes

    Chances of >2 are null.

    • DeadDigger@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Well theoretically no there is a condition called Polymelia where you can have more than 4 limbs. in reality it will be <2 and >1.8

      Local media reports earlier on Thursday suggested pyrotechnics could have caused the incident (BBC)

      Natural selection at this point.

  I’m always treated like a loser nerd for stopping some drunk dad from throwing a box of leftover fireworks on the bonfire or something, because it’s not like anything would happen. We’ve done this a dozen times!

  But, survivorship bias aside, injuries are very common! And severe!

  I remember that as a kid in China, my uncle would give me a stick of incense to ignite fireworks with to put some distance between my short ass 6 year old arms. And also, with the exception of the roman candles, they had to be placed on the ground and I wasn’t allowed to hold them.
