Whats the worst accident thats happened to any of the pyros here?

I've managed to burn some of the kitchen by heating up sugar/kno3 mixture :duh: and forgetting it would ignite. I also once nearly burnt myself in the shed when I was testing a sample, which accidentally set off a load of other powder all over the place.

From reading your post it seems you have an alarming lack of regard for safety.

Firstly why were you heating anything indoors?

Secondly, why did you have a large quantity of explosive material exposed near a test area?

Thirdly, why were you testing a composition inside a small confined and flammable building?

Personally I see this thread as nothing but ammunition for the anti-fireworks brigade.

I myself have never had any injury greater than the odd burnt finger. Thats because I think twice and cut once.

Oooh dear. Thats something you shouldnt have admitted to. Like Richard said - even more bad publicity now. Thanks a lot. Thing like that give pyro a bad name. It isnt like the Nutty Professor where an experiment goes wrong, a bit of smoke drifts around and you get a comedy blacked face... your house gets destroyed, you get injured or killed, or even worse, some other unfortunate person(s) is harmed.
