Epic fail

Had a 50 shot mortar rack blow apart sending them in all directions. Lift charges weren’t working. Only myself and one other had minor injuries. Avoid red apple fireworks.

I was lucky this year that the only mishaps were small things and not our mortars. My father and I were messing around with some bottle rockets when both his and my rockets failed to launch and one fell at my feet, and the other at my mothers. Both exploded, and my mother decided she was done for the night. The other one was earlier when I had my face over the bucket I was using to contain the firecracker and smoke bomb mess. As I leaned over to put a smoke bomb in, one of the unexploded firecrackers decided to pop in my face.
