California teen loses his entire hand during stupid game outside In-N-Out Burger

Doctors were unable to save his hand.

An 18-year-old teenager has lost his hand while playing with a firework outside a California In-N-Out Burger.

Nader Hanna had graduated from high school just three days earlier when he met up with his twin brother and friends outside the popular burger chain in Pleasanton on June 3, the SF Chronicle reports.

The group had gone to grab food and set off fireworks in the parking lot — something Hanna said they had done on numerous summer nights.

Sucks for the youngster. Honestly at that age your neurodevelopment is still suboptimal.
 
Can't fix stupid so must learn everything the hard way..
"A classmate handed him a firework about the size of a tennis ball, which exploded almost immediately after he lit it.

“It just exploded in my hand the second I lit it,” Hanna told the newspaper. “My hand took the whole blow. I looked down and I didn’t see a hand. It disintegrated.”

"The blast severed Hanna’s right hand. The 18-year-old, who is left-handed, is now learning to navigate daily life without his non-dominant hand, making once-simple tasks like brushing his teeth, putting on socks and driving significantly harder.

His twin brother, Ramsey, called 911 before frantically searching the ground for pieces of his brother’s hand to take to the hospital."

So still a wanker then.
 
Poor dude. I get it’s cool to laugh and make jokes however we were all 18 once and made stupid decisions. It’s what teenagers do and unfortunately this dude lost his hand for it.

He has the right attitude though and not letting this hold him back. So. Kudos to him on that. No victim hood just getting on with it and admitting he did something stupid.

A lot of adults could take lessons from that sort of attitude in life.

But lighting a "firework about the size of a tennis ball" while holding it in your hand is darwin award level of stupidity.
