The most wildly unsafe fireworks display I ever saw was in Amsterdam for new year's 1999. MASSIVE rockets and shells being propped up against the memorial in the middle of the town square, and they'd shoot in random directions, bounce off of buildings, and back into the crowd where they'd explode. People didn't care. At one point, someone lit off a string of firecrackers that seemed like it went off for five minutes straight... everyone fell silent and stopped firing anything off until it finally ran its course, at which point the crowd ROARED with cheers and went back to being incredibly unsafe. People were just lighting things off in the sea of humanity, tossing explosives around willy nilly, doing everything completely wrong. Paramedics kept coming in to the square area and treating people who got hurt. It was the most life-affirming display of irresponsibility and drunken disregard for safety I've ever seen.

As a Dutchman I am used to Dutch people and fireworks. While I don't like it, most people seem to at least put things like rockets into bottles nowadays. Decades of public education seem to have worked. My worst experience was Berlin in 2015/2016. People lighting fireworks and then tossing them into the air above crowds so that they explode above other people or people shooting rockets from balconies... only for them to explode when they hit the building on the other side of the street. All while being drunk out of their minds. There is a reason why my friends from Berlin told me they all flee Berlin during NYE.

I suppose in the minds of the lawmakers it prevents people making remote control bombs. If that were the case, a better law would be to allow remote igniters that are wired only, no radio, infrared, or the like that could allow a bad actor to strap an explosive to a car, for example. A similar line of thinking exists in UK knife law, which prohibits folding knives that can be deployed quickly with a flick or a spring mechanism, or knives disguised as other objects (the example given is disguised as a mobile phone). The line of thinking is to make it hard not to telegraph that you are drawing a weapon.
@gilles111
@gilles111 4 ай бұрын
@@jameswalker199 In Dutch law, these kind of knives are prohibited too. The remote controls are technically not illegal but only legal to used by fireworks companies doing professional shows. One of the reasons for that is because they are regular used to fire shells and shells are illegal for private use too. If these controls were legal to use by public, the chance of people building too large packages of fireworks because they don't know/understand the dangers of large quantities of explosives together or firing professional fireworks (i.e. shells) in too dense areas is foreseen.

I'm from China, had so much fun growing up playing fireworks during the Spring Festival. In recent years however, the city where I lived regulated against fireworks in densely populated area. I totally understand that, and you can still have as much fun as you want in suburbs. But the whole festival just feels a bit empty without the cathartic fun and stunning visuals of fireworks. Man, I miss those days in middle school when I could gather my friends and collect our pocket money to do a big firework "show" in the street.

Nothing in life is safe. Maybe the safety can be improved, but I think people are irrationally afraid of fireworks. If you're sober and sane and able to run away from the fireworks, they're not very dangerous. Certainly a lot less dangerous than they could be. And if remote-controlled fireworks were legal, that'd make it way safer. @@nemtudom5074

If you're paying thousands of dollars for a few seconds of enjoyment with fireworks, you've bought a single firework that you are not qualified to use. That or you don't know that you're not supposed to use gasoline to light your fireworks. That's the only way you're setting off that many fireworks in a few seconds. I recommend you don't go around fireworks at all, until you understand them better.

@@ser_igel when you're talking about currencies where it costs $200-2500 of their local money, just to buy a meal at McDonald's, a few thousand on some small fireworks isn't crazy. I imagine if they were talking about these places, with these currencies, the number they said wouldn't have only been "thousands". That or their neighbours only buy one small firework, or a pack of firecrackers. This is obviously a case of this person doesn't understand anything at all, about fireworks.

I think we have similar weird regulations here in Norway, the only smaller fireworks you can see here are sticks that kids hold and they spark downwards slowly. Rockets are completely banned and you usually only see large boxes of fireworks, nothing small and fun anymore. Really good video as always!

I tihnk it is because big fireworks are just less affordable and it is less likely for someone to buy a ton of them and then annoy ppl throughought long times. You can launch the big ones once and then wel... you do not have more. Instead you could have ppl buy more of the small ones and shoot at random time of the month and make noise. Generally i think it is quite a good law.

Here in Minnesota (US), all large fireworks are banned. The only ones we are legally allowed to purchase are small snap-its and fountains and stuff. However, as far as I'm aware, the law only disallows the selling of large fireworks, so everyone drives the short drive to Hudson, Wisconsin and purchases massive fireworks displays there. Fireworks are obviously a huge thing in the US, so for the 4th of July, practically everyone does this.

The reason big boxes aren't banned is because they are so much easier to operate safely, and because they go so high, there is little risk of hitting houses and trees. Just put them on the ground, light the fuse and run a safe distance away. Handheld fireworks and fireworks that look like they are hand held are much easier for people to hurt themselves with, which is why even the smaller ones are sometimes banned. In general, there will be a lot of drunk people lighting these things, so it's all about minimizing the odds of user error.

It's never been so quiet in the days leading up to new year's eve. In my city, it used to be really excessive in the whole of december. Fire crackers being set off any day of the month, scaring our indoor cats, and the dogs of people walking their dogs outside. Couple dozen street signs blown up with bundled together fireworks or illegally imported ones too each time. A square near our local shopping centre now has huge lighting and camera towers, because of the destruction caused in the previous years to the asphalt and to the windows of the nearby sports centre. Although the current legal fireworks are still loud as hell, at least the intermittent bangs of the firecrackers are now almost totally gone, and replaced by maybe one or two people in my area setting off a big multishot box somewhere in the evening - after which peace returns again. So far, it's a huge improvement. I'm so happy, it's genuinely a huge quality of life improvement. I hope people don't ruin the rest of the fireworks by doing things in excess. I'm celebrating with some little fountains and what's called in perfect chinglish 'ground bloom flowers'. I'm against a blanket ban, but very happy about the ban on firecrackers. In a country with 18 million people on an area the size of a postage stamp, your personal freedom to do things ends, where the freedom of others to not be too heavily bothered by something starts.

it makes sense tho, if you ban all the stuff kids buy and cause them to lose eyes and fingers and only keep the proffesional stuff that you know people will be careful with since well its expensive and also those people are a lot more interested in fireworks you drastically decrease the amount of accidents during new year

It make no sense because the black market still have lot of costumers to buy illegal fireworks like f4 shells and large firecrackers ... because if a firework cake is prone to malfunctioning and overturning many times it has exploded while firing and shot people back, just as if a 40 shot battery explodes you can't stop the other shots, so it's much safer to have a single shot product than a multi shot one!

I do have to say, I think roman candles where used more as a handheld firework launcher then something you put into the ground. but even with those people around the fireballs from a roman candle couldn't do anything dangerous unless u where to fire it directly into someones naked eye.

In my lifetime (born early 80's) domestic fireworks have been entirely illegal here. But this is Australia - around this time of year it's often 40ºC here! Bushfires! So it's fair enough, I understand. It would be lovely to experience them in a cold snowy place though. There are still free to view large public fireworks displays however. And there are occasionally naughty people who manage to set off some smaller illegally imported ones from time to time.

Classic Familie Surprise at 3:52 - always manages to wow the crowd haha :) I agree with your sentiments and miss the good old days of small fireworks as well. Also, the quality of F1 fireworks have dwindled since a couple of years ago. There is little fun to be had with (small) fireworks as of now. Anyway, alvast beste wensen, Michiel!

When I was in Amsterdam, I was almost badly injured by one of these street fireworks on New Years Eve and I saw another one set a car alight. So many people get injured every year and a few have been killed. I love them and I agree it's an artform, but I think it's totally crazy that they're allowed on densely populated streets 🤣

i was in berlin for a ney years celebration around ten years ago. it was a crazy hell of unregulated fireworks on the streets. i thought half of the city would go up in flames and hospitals would be overrun by burn victims with perforated ears. i served as a combat engineer in the army and heard my share of explosions and i did not feel safe for myself or my girlfriend on those streets. i saw people getting shot by fireworks that stuck in clothing or hair and then explode. problem is you can't really tell who is shooting them. most of the time its kids who run away into the crowd

In the mid '90s my uncle lost all his windows because of that. He had an illegal roll (wheel barrow sized) but just after he put them outside, drunken fools began firing small fireworks randomly. We were pushed away from the windows and that was a wise policy, because it ignited the roll and blew up everything. Then in my first bought house, we had similar kids in the area around my house. In 2019 they threw a Cobra (mainly from Italy or Germany, Italy happily deals in them. Criminals strap them together for bombings too) on my balcony and blew out two of my windows. The curtains caught the flying glass, but otherwise... Our baby's crib was in that room. And police do nothing at all about such bombings because 'We can't chase every bang, there's so many'. So being terrified by weekly bombings at night from roughly august to april kept up. I started to learn a pattern and that they liked to move between the two areas of social housing where they and their friends live and wake up everybody twice. So in 2020 when one first detonated around 1AM, I went outside and lay in wait. The idiot came back for round 2 at roughly 3 AM and he detonated a cobra 12, he was jumped by a masked man and savagely beaten with a large stick, basically crippling him. Guy took half an hour to pick himself up and stumble away. Still blood on the ground the next day. 😆 Anyway, it isn't right or ideal, but necessary. That worked a lot better than completely impotent police and weak courts that let even murderers off with a warning, and after crippled man had told his dumb thug-friends his story it was mostly quiet nights ever since. I moved out of the area and it's been much better ever since. Sure this area also has idiots, but posh idiots tend to be mostly a danger to themselves and seem aware that neighbours won't stand for any nonsense towards them.
