About 15 years ago, several family members and I attended the Stadium of Fire event. I was sitting on the west side at the south end of the stadium at about the 15- or 20-yard line and about 20 or 30 rows up. During the show, a piece of firework debris landed on my head or shoulder. It looked like a piece of plywood about 3 inches in diameter and 3/8 inch thick. It hurt a bit--no blood. I've never been back. I hate fireworks smoke and campfire smoke!

@@rickylee4228 I think it's just to keep people's ohhs & ahhs going for the flyover. Not a terribly smart idea obviously & too close to the jets if there is a mishap. I know the jets had passed the stadium, but it's sketchy. They wait to do the majority of the fireworks at 9:30ish I think.

I understand accents can happen and this being a pretty serious accident can happen, but if safety was of the utmost importance they should have canceled all the fireworks after that happened instead of starting up 20 minutes later.
@t.c.27762 күн бұрын
my thought exactly... if they got everything from the same company... it was a manufacturing issue or an issue of how they were set up... until you figure it out, you shut it down... and the larger ones were still due to be shot... if one of those malfunctioned it would have taken out dozens of people...
@MrCancer662 күн бұрын
@loa1531 Exactly. They could have brought bands back onstage for entertainment. It kinda shows a callous disregard for the already injured and since it honestly could have been entirely a faulty fireworks malfunction but still they had no idea if it would happen again from more faulty fireworks. And a callous disregard for the safety of the rest. Zeroes just keep adding on to those lawsuit checks I think.

In 2018 my brother, his wife, 2 step daughters and step son were all burned by a firework mortar. Their grandson was in the direct path of that mortar but my sister in law shielded him with her body and got badly injured. 2 of them required skin grafts. One had an open wound where the mortar exploded after it hit my niece’s abdomen and bounced off. It was horrific.

I was one of the dancers down on the field and was a few girls down from a girl that was nearly hit. A firework hit the ground behind her and she had jumped out of the way, but she had a small burn on the back of her arm and on her leg. She had a panic attack after all of us dancers were taken off the field and she was taken care of after being in a bit of shock. I'm so glad she was okay, that could have hit her directly and been a lot worse. I'm so sorry for the people that did get hit in the audience, this was my sixth year dancing at Stadium of Fire and my director's twelfth year, and she said nothing like this has ever happened that we've seen. Safety is their priority, but I'm not even sure how those fireworks were directed towards the audience and west side dancers.
