    That’s fair, I just think there are ways to get that besides blowing things up once a year, especially given that fireworks produce a lot of unnecessary waste and pollution in the environment.

      I mean, I think it’s good that people get to safely experience explosions, something most people probably wouldn’t experience in their lives otherwise.

        I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily safe, ERs are full of people who almost blew off their hand or other appendages around 4th of July.

          Stairs are relatively safe, tens of thousands of people still die from them every year.

              Buildings could be designed with limited usage of stairs
