Fuse in an Axe Can

2010 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

When I was in eighth grade I was the kid always obsessed with burning and blowing things up. It was a hobby my father and I tended to enjoy immensely. A personal favorite of mine was spraying axe into an open flame. Knowing the explosive potential of a can of axe, I decided it would be entertaining to attempt to put a fuse into an axe can and throw it like a normal firecracker. With my dad's help, I was able to thread the fuse into the can by removing the spray device on the top of the can. Prepared for an awesome explosion, I went outside to through my "grenade." I lit the fuse, pulled my arm back, got ditracted by the fuse burning... and forgot to throw the can... I ended up with third degree burns up my arm and pieces of shredded aluminum in my right arm and leg and one piece just above my right eye.

I'm accepting this one solely because your father was helping you. At your age playing with fire is extremely common, but your father definitely should have known better!
