A 23-year-old reveller is injured after a party trick
involving a firework and his rear end goes badly wrong.
An Australian man has suffered severe and painful burns
to his bottom after he placed a firework between his buttocks in a misconceived
party trick. The 23-year-old was at a party in Darwin in the Northern Territory
when he set off the firecrackers.
Police said the man was admitted to hospital after the
stunt backfired on Saturday. "It appears that a party was in full progress
when a young male decided to place a firework between the cheeks of his bottom
and light it," local police spokesman Garry Smith said."What must
have seemed to be a great idea at the time has obviously backfired and resulted
in the male receiving quite severe and painful burns to his cheeks, back and
private bits."
We at CRS were surprised to hear that police had added
that alcohol may have been a factor.
Paramedics were called to the house, although the man had
taken himself to hospital by the time they arrived. It is believed the reveller
may have later been flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, which has a
specialist burns unit.
It is illegal to let off fireworks in the Darwin area
except on Territory Day on July 1st to celebrate the region becoming
self-governing. People face on the spot fines of 282 Australian dollars (£190)
for possessing and discharging them at other times.
