122 victims due to increasingly heavy fireworks during the end of the year, specialists call for a total ban: “These are not just rockets, they are explosives”

Fireworks caused 122 victims during New Year’s Eve, 41% of whom were under the age of 18. More heavy fireworks were shot off, causing an increase in the number of open wounds and injuries to arms and fingers. Municipal bans appear to have had no use whatsoever. Specialists are concerned and are demanding a total ban. “Don’t risk your hands, don’t risk your life. Leave fireworks to the professionals.”
