In a atrocious July quaternary fortuity , a paraplegic gentleman ’s leg was blown off while he was trying to light fireworks while still in his wheelchair . The fervent plosion mishandle the man ’s leg 50 feet across the street where it peck a neighbor ’s planetary house . That is not fun .
The accident , which come at Hazel Park , Michigan , was due to a piece of pyrotechnic that looked like “ a long tube , like a quarter stick of dynamite ” . Which is to say , the firework being pose off by the paraplegic were probably illegal . As Hazel Park Police Chief Martin Barner explains it :
“ I believe he had been lighting firework on his lick then lay out them down on the dry land before they went off . He lit one machine that then slipped between his ramification and went off . ”
The valet de chambre ’s leg was severed just under his knee and chuck out across the street . Officers found his left metrical unit with “ several column inch of leg bone still attached ” . It was an ugly scene , with blood , flesh and burst detritus everywhere , that serves as a doomsday admonisher for patriotic folks everywhere : fireworks are awful , illegal fireworks are very awesome but be very , very measured because blown up leg are so not awing .
