Candle Quake

Not sure how old this is, but I've just found it.

A bunch of guys have a reallife game of quake with what seem to be fireworks (probably the ones called roman candles, going from the name)
Very cool looking, and probably dangerous as hell.

    Whoa, that's awesome. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->


    Every year around new years eve, we all used to buy bags of baby missiles (pretty much tiny firework rockets that made a hell of a racket) and shoot them at eachother across the street with hollow tubes.

    It looks much more awesome when done at night though.

    Actually, Roman Candle fights are nothing new but smart people wear long pants, long sleeved shirts, and paintball masks. Idiots, like the ones featured in this film don't and by not wearing any kind of face protection are just asking for injury or blindness. That is not something to laugh about.

    Don't get me wrong, it <i>does</i> look awesome <i>and</i> fun. As a matter of fact I have done that before. (and night time is a must, just so much cooler) But you should wear some kind of protection, at least for your eyes. Agreed?

    I'd drag out a pic of what's left of a hand after a firework malfunctions, but it'd get most people banned <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    I had to sit through a slide show of injuries for Red Cross training (they figured that seeing gore ahead of time means you'll be able to deal with it better in real life). I did OK with car accident victims and industrial machine accident pictures, but both firework mishaps and animal attack injuries made me lightheaded... I'd make a crappy EMT <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    I don't play with Fireworks really, so what exactly at the Roman Candles shooting? I'm guessing nothing hard.

    But I'd definitely want to try this.

    They're still showing videos here on the news about a fireworks show that went bad in Flagler County on the 4th.
