Also surprised the gator didn't eat the guy. I know crocs are much more badass of the two animals, but wouldn't a gator easily eat a dead human?

I don't doubt it would be nasty...but the fireball goes up, not so much down. When I've set off a night's worth of mortars, my grass is covered in dust and sulfur, but it's not burnt. Assuming the guy put one tube on his head pointed the right way (up), I'm still not fully seeing how he died instantly.If you use quick rapid-succession photography, you'll see that standard mortar rounds actually release a huge fireball for a split second when they launch.
Two quick-succession pics I snapped Saturday night That is the same launch a split second later.
No, that tube was not blown up and the mortar didn't misfire. That's what they look like when they go off. Now imagine putting that on your head
You can stand within a few feet of a tube going off and not die from the shockwave. And that's standing higher (thus closer to the exit of the wave) than the tube than this guy would be if he put it on his head pointed up.
Basic firework stats from here...
The biggest mortar I've ever seen from a non-professional is a #300, which is 3" in diameter. That's 144 ft/s as per that site. Let's say the shell weighs 1/2 lb. F=MA gives us a force of 72 ft/lbs. Is my Physics so horribly off here? 72 ft/lbs isn't killing anyone.

They didn't explain how that one happened either, I'm guessing he was shooting at seals as originally reported and at the bullet ricocheted off the water.

I found THIS article with some key facts...Sounds more and more like it was some sort of mis-fire where the entire charge went off in the tube. See point #2.This is what I think happened.

It's rare when you get a confluence of stupid like this. Three or more incidents of moronic behavior in one weekend is asking for a lot.

Probably not the smartest thing to do, but if things went wrong with the bottle rocket, it would not blast you into a bunch of pieces that would require a hazmat team to clean up. Definitely not as stupid the guy in the story.ive shot a bottle rocket out of my ### crack. am i stupid?

The article said the kid was already in the water when they went to sleep. He was in his float. We have one of those floats for our 10 month old. They have to be in the water to work (legs hang down below, nowhere for the legs to go on land).Aww... that stuff happens. Parents set the kid up on the beach it sounds like. Tide comes in, washes the screaming brat out into the ocean while the parents sleep.
Now, storing loaded, unlocked firearms in the same house as a small child? That's pretty dumb.
Even if the kid wasn't in the water when they went to sleep, leaving a 10 month old sitting on the beach while you sleep isn't any better.

"the first person in 179 years to be killed by an alligator in Texas"
Well, he'll always have that going for him.

This death isn't in the running for Dumbest Death of the Week, but it sure will be hard to beat for Most Awkward Death of the Week....
A hospital worker was found dead in The Bronx — with his laptop open and porn playing on it — after suffering a fatal heart attack while apparently masturbating, police sources said.
A colleague found the 48-year-old man on Tuesday morning at North Central Bronx Hospital.
He was naked and appeared to be pleasuring himself at the time of his death, the sources said.
Bronx Homicide was investigating, but said no foul play was suspected.

At least he was just spanking his monkey and not shooting it...
