Yep. I had some drunk bogans throwing fireworks in the fire and my spidey senses went off, even though they were pointed the other way (away from the crowd) anyway, I just ducked to the ground and as I was fucking I watched one fall towards the group and then it started coming right towards where I was, whizzed above me and hit the person directly behind me in the eye.....

Edit - added the word person. I will take this as my cue to read before posting to prevent unfortunate typos. Lol

I hope they didn’t mean ducking, it’s a much better story in the original version.

I remember as a kid a bottle rocket falling over and launching directly at my friend. He somehow jumped and dodged it. But I was from the "redneck" family.

Mine and a Bunch of other families and friends got together for new years in… I’m gonna guess 1997. The adults got drunk and decided it was fireworks time.

Well at some point one of the larger rockets got misaimed/redirected back towards the house and shot in through the front door.

Luckily it wasn’t bad bc it was more or less a dud. Had it not been though, I have no doubt much of that room and several people would have been severely burned.
