Another interesting quote from this article:

"On Saturday, 22-year-old Devon Staples died after waving a lit firework, which he thought was a dud, near his head at a backyard party in Maine, his family told the Daily News."

The story continues to be rewritten (and who am I to know the truth). First report he stuck it on his head and his friends tried to talk him out of it. Next it came out that he thought it was a dud and accidentally lit it. Then I saw yesterday that the father said he didn't accidentally light it. There was some mysterious spark. Now he was just waving it around his head and while waving it the mysterious spark managed to find the fuse.
