Kansas City Suffers Injuries From Fireworks

Got this one from the comments and can't help but SAVOR THE DEETS . . . 

Apparently, when Kansas City EMTs & the Fire Department respond to fireworks injuries . . . They often tell each other that the patient has been "de-gloved" by a small to medium-sized explosion.

It's cruel yet funny and offers a real life glimpse at this town.

Here's more info . . .

"As of Sunday afternoon, Children's Mercy hospital said doctors had treated five patients between 7 and 17 years old.

"Injuries included burns from flames and explosion injuries from large fireworks, a punk hitting a child's face, and a mortar shell firework hitting a child's leg.

"The University of Kansas Health System says they treated 10 people for firework injuries as of Sunday afternoon.

"The patients range in age from 24 to 45 years old and suffered hand and face injuries from mortar fireworks. "

Please stay safe and be careful tonight.
