THE HELL??????

I wasn't particularly stupid in college, but I probably did do a stupid thing or two. As I look at things like this my thoughts are usually along the lines of "there, but for the Grace of God, go I."

I imagine that he watched a few people before him do it unscathed, and so he agreed to do it. Then his "friend" wedges it in too close to his skin. The guy could't see behind him to see how close the bottle rocket was being placed next to his butt. If it was placed a little higher, he probably would have been OK, just like the 5 or 6 guys who went before him. He follows everyone's advice to clamp his cheeks together to hold the rocket in place, and then he can't understand why there is an intense searing pain coming from down there. He doesn't relax when he feels the pain, allowing the rocket to fly, instead, he involuntarily tightens up even more, clamping the rocket firmly in place until it burns out.

Poor stupid bastard. Alcohol has made me stupid in the past. It could have been me, 15-20 years ago, if I just let myself go a little bit further than I ever did.

That's no bottle rocket, that's the real deal and hopefully not "with report".

Now that you mention it, it IS pretty large.
