Explosive Injuries

[Niki777]

1st pic- this is what happens when you get too close to fireworks...This person was using black powder to assist in lighting a "Sparkler Fountain" on the 4th of July. What he did not know was that the fountain was smouldering. When the black powder exploded, it drove the container into his knee. The black cloth is where it drove his pants into his knee. He received several burns in addition to this injury.

2nd photo-what happens when you get too close to a military simulator...This is what happens when a military simulator (M116) goes off accidentally. This person lost his thumb and part of his hand in the accident.

3rd photo-what happens when you put explosives in your mouth...This child did not live long enough to discover that it is not very wise to put explosives in your mouth. This injury was caused by a blasting cap.



4th photo-what happens when you handle m-80 fireworks...This person was attempting to burn off the protective wax coating on the fuze of an M-80 type of firework. Injuries to the hands and face are the most common types of fireworks injuries.

5th photo-what happens when you get too close to a pipe bomb...This is a photo of the left hand of an 18 yr old. His ring finger, little finger, and a portion of his palm were blown away when a pipe bomb detonated ( metal 6" x 3/4" in diameter). He was attempting to close the pipe bomb when it went off in his hand.


6th photo-what happens when you get too close to a shrapnel...This is a photo of the left leg of a juvenile. The juvenile built a CO2 cartridge bomb by filling CO2 cartridge with smoke bomb powder and fusing it with smoke bomb cannon fuse. When the juvenile lit the fuse, it was too short, detonating the bomb. A metal fragment went all the way through his left leg and would have probably killed him if it had hit him in the torso.

7th photo-what happens when you get caught by your own booby trap...This is a photo of the right hand of an adult injured when a booby trap device detonated while he was placing it to protect his residential marijuana grow. The device was made from a plastic tube, 20ga shotgun round, and trip line.

8th photo-what happens when your hand gets too close to fireworks...This is what happens when your hand gets too close to fireworks when they go off. This is second and third degree burns to a hand. It probably hurts less to have your hand blown off than it does to have it burned.

9th photo-what happend when black powder goes off in your hand

10th photo-this is what happens when a pipe bomb goes off in your arms...This is what happens when a person tries to use a pipe bomb and it goes off while they are holding it. The pieces that could be found were placed back in approximately their correct location for this photograph. The head is at the bottom of the screen and the right foot is at the top of the screen.

11th photo- what happens when you try to make an m-80 and it goes off in your hand ... This is what happens when a person tries to make an M-80 and it goes off while they are holding it. He also suffered shrapnel wounds to his body. He lost his job, his hand and his freedom (he is currently serving time in prison for this offense) because he thought that he could make his own explosives without getting hurt.
