Damn. I didn’t know there could be gore without flesh nor blood.

These aren’t actually x-rays. They’re extremely efficient degloving incidents.
Round of applause for the heroes!
Literally the first rule of handling firecrackers is to not lit them in the hand until you 101% sure that you will have enough time to throw it away. And still it mostly applies to small ones.
So better to light them on the ground and quickly move you hand away, since even 4 inches of distance is much better than having point blank explosion right near your hand in case of firecracker malfunctioning.
#6-8 look to still have their thumbs, they should be able to retain some function.
The rest look like they all get pirate hooks for their stumps
Yargh, why be pirates angry all the time? It be havin’ to wipe with yar hook hand that does it.
Makes me think of this iconic 1996 Dutch tv-’commercial’ warning people of the dangers of firework. Very fine marketing, bit less desturbing:
just a shame nobody paid attention to it
Hey, are these on bandcamp?
Definitely not on handcamp
Because of birth defects and stuff like this, given that we’re all suppose to have two hands, I wonder what the actual ratio of hands to people is.
It must be far less than 2.
“far” less, like 1.999 or something.
A better question would be ratio of fingers to persons, because lost fingers ≠ lost hand, and the ratio would be more sensitive to changes
I hope one of these id my neighbor who was illegally setting off fireworks for 3 hours after the new year started.
I would expect 8 of those 9 to be straight-up nubbed. Not worth the effort.
It’s pretty amazing what doctors can do.
What is the source of these images?
The x-ray dept 🤢
Repost of reposts. I’ve seen it a few times in the bottom of the barrel of the internet.

I remember that as a kid in China, my uncle would give me a stick of incense to ignite fireworks with to put some distance between my short ass 6 year old arms. And also, with the exception of the roman candles, they had to be placed on the ground and I wasn’t allowed to hold them.
