Firework Mishap - Mortar charge explodes on my head


I went camping with two of my friends and after having a few beers, we started to mess with our mortar rounds. I found out the hard way that the mortar tube needed a solid foundation, otherwise the charge would punch a hole straight through the plastic bottom. The charge left burn marks all over my shirt, singed a portion of my hair, and the explosion left my ears ringing for a minute (similar to war movies). No injuries, just a haircut a couple days after.
