Firecracker in the mouth?

2010 Reader Submission

Darwin/Wendy says, "Thanks for the submission, but although foolhardy, this is best left in the Slush pile. We've had this one, one better with Pinga! the game of drinking for machismo, with a firecracker in your lips. We've also had mortar head duct-taping a full-scale mortar firework on his football helmet, and strapping it on for one wild ride... Fireworks are the source of the dismemberment of too many. Shame on anyone who is too stupid to respect their power."

Sorry by my english, is too poor.

A firecracker explodes in the mouth (Huelva, Spain)

Miguel Angel S.F of 24 years and neighbor of Trigueros (Huelva, Spain) did a bet day 01/01/2010: to put a firecracker ignited in the mouth and to see that held more time.

The firecracker was powerful and it had itself to him to reconstruct the face and the mouth in a surgical operation of more than 10 hours. According to witnesses, the wounded realised the same bet at least in two previous occasions.

I'm a bit torn on this one. On the one hand, doing stupid things with fireworks is extremely common. On the other hand this guy had attempted the same stunt multiple times. Let's see what the other moderators have to say...

Multiple firecracker-chicken bets is just asking for a Darwin! Thanks, Jordi!

Putting explosives in one's mouth? For a wager? THREE times? I say this definitely deserves an HM!
