It was on the news a bunch of times. Now I've heard that the want someone say they should put contract stipulations in for players not to use fireworks.

What kind of fireworks caused this? Was it a legal consumer 1.4 product or a bootleg M80 like device?

Julie Heckman - executive director of APA is also wanting to find out!

Neither player has commented on what caused their injuries. I'm sure it will come out soon.

Lets just hope it was not a reloadable artillery shell.

Just goes to show how stupid you can be and make millions a year!!!!

[fatcat]

Gotta are with you Dion. How do you protect a guy from himself?

[chriskrc]

As long as the fireworks aren't to blame then we are good. However like it has been said what was the actual cause.

Well I know a stand that gives you great discounts if you have 9 fingers or less. :cool:


Hey wait Im just saying that it could have been worst. He had other fireworks capable of allot more. I could imagine them launching the shell themselves like if it were a football.

I am glad he is ok, and he has just saved thousands of people from doing the same. People look up too football players, I would love if he would in a press conference let all the people know that if you want to know how to use fireworks safely, you can easily find Dave's VIDEOS on YOUTUBE displayfireworks1 , and on Pyrotalk.com

Fireworks are part of AMERICA. Just like FOOTBALL.

I wish him the best.
