so a mention of this elsewhere got me to upload an old video I had from when I lived in Barcelona.

Around the Solstice, the people of Barcelona seem to loose all touch with reason, and these "petardos" stands show up everywhere. These stands are little shacks made from corrugated tin and are FULL of big assed explosives. In my mind, the line between a firecracker and demolitions equipment is crossed when the fuze is longer than six inches, and all you needed to get some of those is to look over 18 and say "Quero los petardos grandes, Sis Plau". The city of 4 million people spends around 24 million euros on firecrackers for one night, then builds bonfires in city squares, torches a few buildings, and sets off a shit ton of fireworks and explosives all night while guzzling wine.

Each Barrio has a "Correfoc". Correfoc is the combination of "Correr" (To Run) and "Fuego". It entails these people dressed in leather demon outfits running through crouds of people, while the bystanders throw fireworks at them. It symbolizes runing the evil spirits out of town, or older people trying to kill off wayward hash smoking youths dumb enough to participate.

After this stunning display of safety, one of my friends and I decided to have a roman candle fight... I wasn't actually aiming at him until he sent one right infront of my face, so I sortof aimed in the direction of his head, and somehow nailed him right above the ear. Does this even classify as Safety Third?
