?? Yeah no...hope your talking about a fireworks mortar?....I've heard all sorts of horror stories of guys dropping 60, 80, and 120mm mortar rounds and instead of dropping their hands away from the tube go to twist away and in the process bring one hand/arm over the tube....not pretty

Not often. Most of our summer fun calls seems to powersports related. Even with gear it's amazing the severity of injuries that occur.How often do you guys respond to firework calls in the summer?
Had a dude last week who rolled a side by side at slow speed, still resulted in a gnarly open radius fracture. ATVs + fireworks, now we gotta party.
Had a training officer tell a story of an accident he was in for our spinal trauma lessons. C5 teardrop fracture I think it was called....insanely high chance of paralysis and all this other ****ty stuff, and was the lucky small minority and is walking and doing the job when he was told he'd likely not walk again. Really cool lesson for sure.

I'm seeing a few people I graduated high school with kids of their own graduating this year. I'm like, "Slow down. I haven't even popped out my first yet."

Came within 10-15' of a mountain lion on my run today!
That's cool, but be glad it wasn't a chupacabra. They are running rampant this year.
