## Resource

A father from Oklahoma shares a harrowing Fourth of July story after a firework exploded in his hand, costing him three fingers on his dominant hand—despite years of safe handling. His recovery has been grueling, marked by months of bandages, therapy, and adapting to a prosthetic, with daily tasks and work delayed far longer than expected. The injury’s ripple effects have deeply impacted his family. As Oklahoma legalizes year-round fireworks sales, he warns of rising risks, especially with parties, alcohol, and youth involved. Federal data shows thousands of ER visits annually, often involving young adults. He urges caution: never let kids handle fireworks, always keep water nearby, avoid using them under the influence, and opt for professional displays. His trauma lingers—fireworks still trigger PTSD—and he hopes his story serves as a sobering reminder: safety must always come first.
