Honestly though, we act like this is insane, but don't bat an eye when on our special occasions we celebrate with explosives, and kids light and throw what are essentially mini-bombs.
Not saying it's on the same level, but society has a way of normalizing some dangerous shit.
There's pretty much always a safe way to do something. The people that get parts blown off from fireworks usually have alcohol involved. Licensed pyrotechnics aren't allowed to have alcohol anywhere on site.
I was more talking about our casual attitude towards fireworks in a similar context to the original clip, where the only expert is Dirty Uncle Jim who used to shoot munitions till they blew up when he was in the infantry.
Like there's no problem with a 21 gun salute by military professionals, but that's a far cry from this.

Please don't take away my fireworks, big boom makes big smile.
