I wonder, because every year, several network news stations run anti-fireworks stories. Usually they show a fireworks store, then a kid with a sparkler, then a quarter stick blowing a mannequin to hell, as if there's any similarity.
It is hard to tell, I deal only with kids, who may or may not want to tell me, in front of their parents, exactly what they were using and/or doing. Or, on the flip side, the parents also do not want to tell me (honestly) what they were doing to cause injury to their kids to the point of requiring a trip to the ER... The best I can do is fireworks of some sort.
