    I haven't had any firework related injuries, because even as kids living in Quezon City, we seldom went out of the house on New Year's Eve for fear of being hit by stray bullets.

    Tutal, para sa amin, mas masaya makipag-kuwentuhan sa mga kapatid at magulang habang nagsasalu-lalo kaysa sa magsunog ng pera sa pamamagitan ng paputok.

    just minor burns and temporary blindness due to fireworks exploding too close... i think it's quite common. we don't celebrate with fireworks anymore though. it's not good for the environment and it can be quite expensive.

    No, but I had close calls when I was younger.

    One time, naputukan ako ng 5-star sa kamay kasi ambilis masunog nung mitsa. Buti na lang walang naputol na daliri or dugo, pero nabingi ako. Couldn't hear a thing for about 10 minutes, and there was a constant ringing in my ears. Also, another time, pumutok yung 5-star when I was stamping on it to put it out. Suwerte na lang, kasi makapal yung goma ng tsinelas ko.

    I've abstained from lighting firecrackers for over 20 years. Sayang kasi ang pera, it would be literally burning your money. May mga kapitbahay kasi kami na nagwawaldas ng mga 30k siguro for firecrackers, so what I do, pagkatapos nyang magsindi ng pyrotechnics, eh lumalabas ako ng bahay at umaasta na parang ako yung nag-sindi, hehehe. Feeling rich ba...

    no, fountain lang kami....para naman maenjoy ng mga kidsa kahit papano...yung roman candle na sinasabi nila na safe for the kids di rin totoo..pumuputok din sya....

    better stay and watch na lang sa mga rich na neighbor na nagsisisindi ng pyrotechnics....as what galactus said...hihihi

    thanked GOD a lot because when i was a kid, i used to lit not ordinary triangles but those oversized and prohibited ones like bawang, super lolo, whistle bomb and alike.. better known as the real finger/s busting types
    i used to pick up also some pieces of triangles to make pillbox without knowing that in a second, it could blow up not only my hands but my face as well
    Ngayon, mga fountain at lusis na lang na maliliit rin. Puros maliliit lang gaya ng Picollo - good even wet parang TNT

    No! Kasi pag nag sindi ako ng paputok, gamit ko katol strapped on a stick kaya malayo sakin yung paputok. Pero lately, di na din ako gumagamit ng paputok.

    I just use our old FIAMM air horn, attach it on my air compressor and viola! Limited supply of honking sound. :lol: Dinig ako up to the next barangay.

    ^^^grabe naman yan, kaya rule of thumb ko, basta nasindihan na pumutok o hinde...di ko na kukunin....and I never lit it na hawak ko lagi ko binababa sa sahig bago sindihan...

    dyan maraming naaaksidente sa pulot-pulot eh

    Ako nung bata mahilig sa five star na hahawakan ko tapos sabay sindi and bato....Paangasan pa kami ng barkada kung sino matagal bitawan yung five star habang nakasindi.....

    Naalala ko pa yung Pla-Pla, Super Lolo, Bawang....Pero hindi naman hinahawakan yun.....isinisingit namin yung dulo sa canal para pag sumabog eh tatalsik yung tubig.... :bwahaha:

    Pero nung pa-graduate na ako ng high school eh hindi na ako nagpapaputok.....natakot ako sa napapanuod ko sa Magadang Gabi Bayan na naputulan ng kamay and paa....

    Kahit nga lusis, fountain, butterfly eh hesitant ako......Torotot na lang..

    Kaya paalala yan sa mga nagpapaputok......Ayaw nyo naman pumasok ng bagong taon na.......

    I remember several years ago masyadong mabilis pumutok
    yung pack ng five-star na nabili ko hahit normal naman
    yung haba ng mitsa.

    Ayun on the 12th firecracker, mga 2 feet pa lang away from
    my hand after I threw it pumutok na!.When I looked at my
    right arm near the elbow may dugo na, natalsikan ng pulbura.

    Buti na lang registered nurse yung neighbor namin and he cleaned
    the wound right away.

    Sabi niya dapat daw linisin agad ang sugat sa paputok kasi
    local firecrackers are mixed with cow/carabao manure and this
    can cause tetanus!: rolleyes:

    After that incident hindi na ako nagpapaputok, watch nalang
    ng countdown sa TV!: grin:

    Nung bata pa ako (elementary to highschool), matapang talaga akong magpaputok ng mga 5-star and bigger firecrackers. Buti hindi ako naputukan. It was when we transferred to our new house when I stopped lighting firecrackers. Puro mga Dragon fireworks nalang.

    I got hit on the side of my face by a few rockets from a box of whisting rockets. I lost some hairs on my side burns that night.

    Another time, a roman candle blew up in my hand. Good thing the "handle" was a hollow piece of cardboard. But that gave me the fear of holding roman candles and lusis.

    mahilig din ako sa paputok noon. noong elementary rin ako, after new year nangyari yon. nakita ko yong 5 star ng kuya ko na nakatago. ang ginawa ko tinapon ko sa siga. ayon pumutok, namuti ako sa abo.

    tumigil na ako lately noong may mga anak na ako. mahirap na kasi. hanggang kalabog ng lata na lang.

    muntik muntikan na nung elementary sindi ako five star sabay tapon pero sumabog agad pagkabitaw ko nabingi ako sa lakas ilang segundo ding may parang bell sa ears ko na tumutunog tapos yung kamay ko parang napaso. madalas na gamit namin kanyon na bakal tapos pag may sirang drum lagay namin sa harap ganda ng tunog lalo na sa lugar namin dati sa baguio nag eecho hehehe
    ngayon nonood na lang kami sa mga kapitbahay mas safe.
