Dude was a really good Gaston. But apparently a really big idiot.

Stephen McCausland, a spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said 22-year-old Devon Staples of Calais, Maine was setting off fireworks with friends on Saturday night in the backyard of a friend's home. Staples put a fireworks mortar tube on his head and set it off. He died instantly, according to McCausland.

I'm actually surprised it killed him instantly. Concussion sure. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what the mortar is.

Don't know. But the article has a link to a video that went viral earlier this year that shows him having a push-up contest with a Disney guest.

I bet his last words were "hold my beer and watch this."


Famous last words of almost every Darwin Award Candidate.

I read an article where one of his friends was quoted as saying something like "there was no use calling 911. There was nothing of my friend left.".

Well, maybe thinking wasn't as dangerous of a pass time as Gaston thought it was.

So it exploded on his head instead of shooting into the air?

I figured the downward pressure of it shooting up hit him in the head and killed him, but I wouldn't think that would've resulted in the above quote you mentioned.

What a weird situation.

I'm thinking that maybe he put the mortar in the tube upside down... instead of of shooting up into the air and exploding it remained in the tube and exploded right on top of his skull.
