Firework exploded in his hand — now he shares his Fourth of July warning
Jamie Groshong, a former standout athlete from Bella Vista High School in Fair Oaks, is sharing his story two years after a life-changing firework explosion severely injured his throwing hand. The illegal firework derailed his baseball dreams, but not his future — now 20, Groshong is headed to San Diego State University to study economics. As Fourth of July celebrations begin across California, Groshong hopes his experience reminds others that fireworks can cause lasting harm and encourages people to prioritize safety.

I wonder If it was a m80 or quarter stick ?
4xtra! see bro—it’s not over, you can be a super bionic man now 🦾
" …a freak accident or something…." I think it's more "something" than a "freak accident"…..as in something STUPID.
Never heard of 4extra
Ive been hearing these warnings for 50 years and still, some people continue to take chances with fireworks. Its always 'someone else' who gets hurt, until it isnt.
A friends brother just passed away in MA firework exploded in his face, So very sad.
Off The Bacc
Thank you for sharing your story Jamie! 🙏🏼
Awesome interview,give this Guy a Hand ✋🏻…
The whole reason fireworks are fun is because they are dangerous.

Now a boy turned a cuck
I had a close call like this with a dry ice bomb not a firework when I was a teenager . But I Almost blew off my hand . Never messed with anything that explodes again .
ive got the mp4😂
What a forking dolt. It's morons like this that ruin it for all the responsible people.
Everyone that needs to watch this have not seen this video news. Look at the views 😅
Thats sad.
Man when I was kid playing with fireworks with no adult supervision every kid knew not to grab the fking bombs !!!! no matter how small they are, you place them on the floor before lighting them up and then you get away.
Never light one up on your hand.
Just because you're in highschool doesn't mean your not stupid…
My sister eorks in television.When she was taking Radio, TV and Film classes, she took a course on the use of fireworks in film and tv.She and the class went to a ranch near Crawford,Tx. Got her pyrotechnican license from the State of Texas so she can legally shoot fireworks I believe you also have to renew the license I think yearly .Even experts get killed
What is the point of these stories? These stories prove that people don’t think twice and they’re the same useless stories told every single year twice a year by people being stupid.
Typical nepotism trust fund bro who will never work a day in his life. Probably a total bully and a complete POS.
It is very sad.
We all make mistakes and fireworks are No Joke . 😢. Keep ur head up keep moving bc your brain is what matters and thank unfor sharing your story ❤
Good spirit
😂😂😂
Not sure what an "illegal firework" is but the injury was so severe that I couldn't say something sarcastic nor humorous. He's a fine young man who is paying a horrific price for the rest of his life over 1 big mistake. The fact that he's willing to be on TV hoping to help others shows his character. Hope he achieves all of his goals in life. Good look Jamie🍀👍
PENDEJO!
duly noted.
show the hand.
A local guy here in Lawrenceburg KY just had his hand blown off. It's so tragic.
If he could'nt throw a firework how was he supposed to throw a fastball.
Guess he wont be jerking it alone
🙏🙏🙏
Oops! When you play with fire, expect to get burned 🤷
A tale as old as time…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I dont think future victims of this are intelligent enough to listen or even read a warning…
It truly takes a special type of stupid to have a firework explode in your hand….
(1)Why was he buying ILLEGAL FIREWORKS(2) what was a lit explosive doing in his hand?? Was he gonna THROW IT at somebody??
While I am GLAD that he's learned a HARD LESSON, I still don't have ANY SYMPATHY FOR HIM! NOT ONE IOTA!! HE CHOSE TO HOLD IT, NOBODY FORCED HIM TO!!
OH WELL….lifelessons!!! For how many decades have yall been told not to handle fireworks people????! 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
4 Xtra brought me here …..
Nothing new
I thought this would be about the guy who blew up his fingers celebration the dodgers win
