So during the fourth of July we were popping fireworks (as usual) but I was hanging out with a few family members (cousins) at the neighbors house popping fireworks with them cause we are friends but while we were popping fireworks in total 9 of them misfired and (thankfully) only 4 almost hit me. So heres what happend and how I almost bit the dust on Independence Day

1. The first one I got to light and I lit it and everyone started backing up I back up too I was little bit closer than everyone to the firework it was one of the fireworks that popped and then some of the sparks popped a second time. So I was a little closer than everyone  else and the firework didn't leave the box at all so it popped and cause all the other ones to pop too and I didn't get hit but the second pop of the sparks almost hit my neck.

2. A kid had some throwing fireworks  and he was using them correctly all good so far. I was talking to one of my friends in the driveway (remember that the kid was 9) the kid with the fireworks threw one right in between me and my friend and we bolted in opposite directions the firework landed and popped in two different directions so Me and my friend both jumped over the firework in time but I almost lost my leg.

3. Me some friends and cousins were playing hide and seek while they were still popping fireworks me and my younger cousin were hiding on the side of this truck (it was my aunt's truck) and the firework box tipped over and shot a firework right at us but I was more on my cousin's side so I picked her up and the firework just barely missed my are and her leg. (the sparks hit my arm a lot tho) I am a HERO I saved a child from a firework!

4. They were still lighting fireworks and I got back into my mom's car to get some more fireworks (from what I heard). One of the firework boxes tipped over (again) and started blasting the side of the car right when I started to open the car door I saw the light and closed the door as fast as I could (my leg still got hit by sparks tho) all I did was sit inside the car until it was over.

Well that was what happened to me on the 4th. I wanna know if you had any experiences on the 4th.

Dude, some of those are really concerning :/ I'm super glad everyone is okay though!! I've DEF had my fair share of close encounters with fireworks and firework duds, too!!

Were you all following firework safety?? Just wondering :p

Sounds like you had a blast- kinda sounds like how I would spend my fourth when I was little with my cousins :))) The nostalgia for us late 2000's kids is ASTRONOMICAL XD

We were using firework safety (except for that kid ) but also some of the adults weren't paying attention  sooo we were kinda lacking complete safety.

Wow that's super scary especially four times! Why didn't you tell someone when that kid almost decapated you?  When I was 6 or 7 my sister and me were playing with sparklers at my aunt's house and we ran into each other my sister got a really bad burn on her forearm and up and I got a semi-bad burn on my upper arm. It hurt so bad! Good job saving your little cousin! It sounds like someone was after you!

I didn't tell anyone because I was alive and didn't think about that. Oh that sounds painful. Thank you. I thought someone was after me LOL.
