Do Not Mix Explosives with Boats
Don’t set off fireworks, firecrackers, or TNT while on your boat. Why? Come on guys, this is a no-brainer. Explosives and boats just don’t mix as shown in this example of a Boater Darwin Award as compiled by SafeBoater.com.
And the Darwin Award goes to…
In 1998, a man drowned in Fox Lake, Illinois after he and a friend inadvertently blasted a hole in the bottom of their rowboat with a quarter stick of dynamite. The two friends thought it would be funny to kill some fish by detonating an M-250 explosive into the water. Sadly, one of the guys was killed by the blast, although the other was able to swim to shore.
The Bottom Line: Explosives are designed to blow things up. If you don’t want to damage your boat or your body, leave the fireworks and TNT to the professionals.
