ROME, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Two people in Italy had to undergo amputations during the Christmas holidays due to firework-related injuries, officials said.
Near the city of Avellino, a 23-year-old man had to have his arm amputated after sparks from one firework set off a bundle of other fireworks he was carrying in a bag, Italy's ANSA news agency reported.

In Paterno, near Catania, a 25-year-old student's hand had to be amputated on Wednesday after a firework he was holding set off.

No other details in either incident were reported.

Every year, a number of Italians suffer injuries or die due to fireworks on New Year's Eve. More injuries due to fireworks are expected next week, the report said.

Sounds like some serious bans are probably on the way.
