    In two different incidents on the 4th, JPP and Wilson both sustained injuries that will leave them with fewer than ten fingers. According to reports, Wilson has lost two fingers, and JPP is having his right index finger amputated due to injuries sustained. Ouch. Curious to see what becomes of their careers.

    I'm surprised there isn't a video of this. I'm sure one will be posted very soon if it's there.

    I think that its moronic that anyone would handle fireworks. One of the best lessons I was ever taught was when I was about 10 years old. My dad took me to a store he was going to one day and introduced me to a man who worked there who he had gone to high school with. I shook the man's hand, and when I did, I realized that he only had two fingers left on it, and the rest was badly scarred. I knew enough not to say anything about it, and simply introduced myself, but when we left, my dad told me the story of how he had blown them off playing with fireworks when they were teenagers, and how stupid fireworks were. Stuck with me ever since.

    Career? They could always resort to doing a J. Walter Weatherman thing.

    The stupidity.. I really cant believe any time I hear stories like this. Listening to the radio most people think that JPP's career wont be affected too much, but Wilson's injury is likely career ending.

    Anyone hear the story about the guy who died when he lit a firework off the top of his head and it burned a hole in his brain? ridiculous.

    those last two have nothing to do with fireworks... just felt like they needed to be included.
