Hopefully he blew his dick off to save the rest of the gene pool dealing with his ancestors.

Eh, not gonna go Darwin on him here.
I've made sparkler bombs when I was in High School. We did all kinds of crazy stuff with fireworks, dismantled shotgun shells, just plain ol' black powder... Kids do dumb stuff, especially with explosives. 99% of the time, nothing happens. Now if it turns out that his buddy was smoking cigarretes over it or that he was holding it in his hand as it burned, I may have to change my outlook on this one.

My nephews built a couple of these a few years ago, since their parents were letting them, I finally helped them build one right. I'd never messed with one, but I knew the concept and yeah, big boom.

I remember those days. While in high school, we lived in Shawnee, KS, and a had a small lake that spanned three back yards. A neighbor kid had a chemistry kit and we decided to make a fountain. We packed an empty glass jar with powder from 2-inch firecrackers and then added layers of stuff from the chemistry kit and used the fuse from several of the 2-inchers, as they were long. Spanning the lake was a footbridge made up of two layers of 2x4s topped with a wear layer of 1x6s. We placed our "fountain" in the middle of the bridge an lit the fuse. It didn't take too long to realize that maybe standing close was a good idea and took off. Our "fountain" made a 6-inch diameter hole in the bridge.
Realizing that making fountains wasn't our thing, we went back to our annual pop bottle rocket fights. Between cherry bombs, bulldogs, and M-80s, it is a wonder that we made it to adults in one piece.
