Stupidity should be left to the professionals.

eek. Yet another competitor in the Darwin Awards. Kinda satisfying in a sick sort of way to know that people like that finally hurt themselves rather than us.

Man's horror firecracker injuries

AN horrific firecracker accident which left an Illawarra man incontinent and unable to have sex has prompted warnings from police and health authorities.

The 26-year-old man suffered a fractured pelvis and severe burns to his genital area after a firecracker exploded between the cheeks of his buttocks.

An ambulance was called to Dapto's Reed Park about 2.30am on August 10 after reports that the man was haemorrhaging from the buttocks. He was transported to Wollongong Hospital in a serious but stable condition, and he is expected to remain in hospital for several months.

The man suffered extensive injuries from the explosion and required emergency surgery. He now has a colostomy and a catheter, and is sexually dysfunctional.

He will be assessed by a colorectal surgeon to determine whether his injuries can be corrected.

Illawarra Health emergency surgeon Dr Robert McCurdie, who operated on the man when he was taken to Wollongong Hospital, likened the man's condition to "a war injury".

Dr McCurdie said he believed the man had stumbled while the firecracker was in his buttocks, and fell down on it.

"By virtue of the fact that the explosion was confined in an upward direction, it went up into his pelvis, blasted a great hole in the pelvis, ruptured the urethra, injured muscles in the floor of the pelvis which rendered him incontinent.

"His pelvis was also fractured," Dr McCurdie said.

He said he had never seen a similar injury to the genital area before.

"I have seen instances ... where people have tried to remove items from their rectum and rupture the sphincter muscles, but not anything like this," he said.

It is not known whether the man had been imitating the cult prankster film Jackass, a hit in the United States.

In the low-budget film, the men place firecrackers in their buttocks and they shoot into the air.

They also stick toy cars up their buttocks, snort wasabi and apply electrical muscle stimulators to their genitals.

The movie carries a warning not to imitate the actions.

Dr McCurdie said young people were particularly susceptible to imitating movies like Jackass.

"I think films like that can influence people, particularly younger people," he said.

"Firecrackers really are quite dangerous. In years gone by, firecrackers were in common usage and people were always warned about how to use them. Now the authorities have taken over and public displays are common."

Acting Senior Sergeant John Klepczarek said police received reports every year about injuries caused by firecrackers, which are illegal in NSW.

While some injuries were minor, he said in some cases people received severe burns and fingers had been lost.

"The warnings are out there for a reason. People still have the mentality it won't happen to them, but it does," he said.

The danger with movies like Jackass, he said, was that some people were tempted to try the stunts at home.

"They're putting themselves at risk, and other people.

"We do caution people strongly against following these acts," he said.

thanks spectre

that website loads real slow

jujueye · 11-12-2003, 09:05 AM

WTF? How would a firecracker fracture a pelvis? C'mon. Its obvious that it was part of his fall and not from the explosion. Man, I hate how newsreporters write stuff. All for making a buck. :sigh:

theguyondacouch · 11-12-2003, 11:33 AM

jujueye :

They didn't say what kind of firecracker it was. It could have been an m80 for all we know. Granted, I highly doubt that a salute could have done that, but have you ever seen an m80 go off in a small area? Lots o' power.

water_boy1999 · 11-12-2003, 02:33 PM

jujueye:

Amazing how you were not there and you know the REAL story of what happened. The next time I don't believe an article I will look to you to get the real scoop!

As far as this guy goes, sounds like he had a blast making an ass out of himself! Hehehe....

Esoteric · 11-12-2003, 06:47 PM

What the hell was he thinking do something like that?

BoCo · 11-13-2003, 08:13 AM

I think it's fitting that he's no longer able to have sex. Bye-bye dumbass gene pool.

monty121052 · 11-14-2003, 06:01 PM

Gotta love the dapto boys.Probably blew his brains out as well.

vermin · 11-14-2003, 10:04 PM

A friend of mine shot himself in the foot a couple of years ago. His SKS (Chinese semi-auto AK47) jammed so he set the barrel on his foot while working the bolt. His idot friend decided to try working the trigger and the gun fired. The bullet went between the bones and the hot gasses must have sealed the blood vessels because there was very little bleeding. He didn't want to go to the hospital because they are required to report gunshot wounds to the cops. And they were stoned at the time. So he went home, wrapped it with gauze and an Ace bandage. Found some old pennicillin in the medicine cabinet and took that for a week just in case of infection. Not one of my smarter friends.

SirGoreaxe · 11-15-2003, 02:10 AM

The one thing I like about people who should be taken out of the gene pool cause they are retards, is that they will generally do it themselves.

gloveshot3 · 11-15-2003, 07:56 AM

there used to be an expression about shooting one's mouth off...

Baldrick · 11-15-2003, 08:01 AM

I love stories like this. Programs like Jackass, which get these idiots to kill themselves trying to emulate the stunts, is just natures way of weeding the weak.

Less idiots = more air for me!

tangledweb · 11-15-2003, 06:18 PM

Just reading that made my eyes water. Damn!

Another on is born every minute...

remiel · 11-15-2003, 06:21 PM

*sigh* why is it that an increasing number of people have the last words: "Hey guys, watch this!"?

wallaby72 · 11-16-2003, 03:18 PM

I thought fireworks were still banned in Australia? Maybe this was some serious industrial shit he got hold of - which could explain the whole fractured pelvis and all. Either way, what an eejit.
Try a sparkler next time mate.

Fire · 11-17-2003, 11:13 PM

ahhh, another one pays the price for stupidity

Gortexfogg · 11-18-2003, 06:33 AM

I find it hard to understand why anyone would even think about letting a fire cracker go off in their butt... holding bottle rockets and roman candles is one thing, but to stick an explosive in your butt? Some people...

DownwardSpiral · 11-18-2003, 07:16 AM

What kind of moron does something like this? That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.
