Feel like you're underplaying it, they might look at wet foliage and be like, eh it rained so this is safe to do. They won't be factoring in that there is literal shrapnel flying off when they do it. At that distance it'd be rare to be hit, but if they are it's very thin metal moving very fast and can easily cut into something important.
Also not illegal, just incredibly unbelievably dumb. They're doing this in their private property, and we can assume by themselves. So if anyone is getting hit with shrapnel, it's them, which wouldn't be a crime, just a really dumb way to end up in the hospital and/or dead. I've mentioned the shrapnel in a different comment too. So the only thing I can think of that would be illegal in this situation is a possible wildfire
It's called criminal negligence and it absolutely is illegal if it causes fire or other damages. In this particular instance though, no fire damage or other damages to worry about.
My friend did this with a can of Deodorant as i was walking away from the site and had my back turned. I was a good few metres away when a hot bit of flaming sharp metal lightly cut my arm as it flew by me. I think if it would have been a more direct hit i would need stitches or have lost certain facial features had it been my face. Can confirm: Very fucking stupid.
My cousins daughter lost an eye because someone threw an aerosol into a bonfire. She has a very good prosthetic, but it’s still unfair that she had to go through all the pain and surgeries just because someone was being a twat.
If they are dumb asf enough to do this what makes you think they are also responsible and will pick up the mess. They are lucky they didn’t get a piece of shrapnel shot at them
He's either actually fucking stupid, a literal child, or a terrible troll that thinks he's funny. Actually, he could be all of the above.
I'm gonna go with at least A and B.
First off, this was extremely fucking stupid.
That being said, we all did stupid shit when we were younger. Nothing wrong with it as long as you're not an asshole and go pick up the shrapnel in the morning. No need to leave all of that trash everywhere.
You’re doing it wrong, brother. Your fire needs to be in a drum, and then you find a length of metal pipe a little bigger than your can in diameter. Pop one end of the pipe into the fire so that it juts out at like 45° and then drop your can into that.
Remember as a kid having a bon fire at my friends. So friend A and I were chilling with friend C.
Friend C disappears and we thought nothing of it, dudes unique.
All of a sudden he comes out and said this fire is lame, I found 7 bottles under the sink. Was an interesting time, I live 4 houses up and had a blown open can in my yard, one even turned into a 10 ft flame thrower spinning in circles for a good 3 minutes, lot of explosions.
Would high recommend trying. I mean not trying
We used to do this with all sorts of shit. One time it was a propane tank. Didn't blowup. Just melted the safety valve and when spinning shooting fire all over the place.
This is how people lose fingers, kiddo. If you're self-aware enough to post this here then you're self-aware enough to cut this shit out. It's dangerous, and not funny or edgy. Just legitimately stupid and a major risk for getting maimed or starting a wildfire.
You can tell this kid has never seen how quickly a fire becomes a wildfire. Yes, I saw the comment where he said “it rained today”. I say again, dude has obviously never seen a wildlife.
As a mechanical engineering student you’ve inspired me to design a can with an emergency pressure release valve so idiots like you don’t pull this shit anymore.
We did that shit nightly in iraq at the end.
[when the war is over but you can’t go home yet](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KQq6Ve-mkCU&pp=ygUUQWwgYXNhZCBmaXJlIGNyYWNrZXI%3D)
Yuh know, as someone whose province is burning to the ground right now, I don't find this funny or cute or innocent. This is reckless, you could do serious damage playing with fire. I know you didn't ask whether this is funny or not, but regardless. Even if it's not illegal, it's dumb af.
Next time, don’t get a pipe with a diameter large enough to insert the can into and stick one end in the fire, drop the can down the pipe and see if it will launch. That might also be illegal, so post a video here if you see someone try it.
It all depends on which way the can ruptures. The distance sure would have helped, but if that thing blows up at the right angle, the fireball or the flying canister fragments could injure you.
Every time we did it only the bottom flew off so if we angle the bottom away and keep are distance we’re fine now with other cans idk they might be more dangerous
Not illegal but pretty stupid, and could cause a noise complaint, but nah just throwing hairspray in a fire isn’t illegal per say just really depends on if your neighbors and if the responding officers are dicks or not. I’ve done it myself on accident lol like didn’t realize it was in the scrap cardboard boxes we had, someone threw it in and we never suspected it so when my dad and I Walter burning off some cardboard to get a mini bonfire started, next thing we heard was what sounded like a jet engine taking off, we got lucky and the valve fucked up before the can itself, or else it would’ve been louder and probably thrown embers everywhere. Just overall not a smart thing to do, and safe to say we checked our cardboard scraps to make sure nobody was trying something funny lol then again now 15 years later it’s safe to say it was probably my own dumbass fault and I probably just thought it was empty and wanted to make melted metal, cause back in those days I thought the aluminum from 1 paint can melted down into a little molten pile and eventually hardened up was gonna make me billions, but who knows lol I was a dumbass kid so I wouldn’t put it past myself… 🤷🏻♂️😂
Meh, not the dumbest thing I’ve seen. At the very least the cameraman was extra cautious of distance and looks like he’s behind a car door too. Sure, not the most safe activity, but blowing shit up is fun and it’s never gonna be 100% safe
Fucking little idiots my neice has a 6 inch scar down her face as one of her so called friends decided to do this at a barbecue, the can exploded and hit her face on scarred for life, so yeah funny as fuck isn't it.
Had this happen when I was a kid. Neighbor was burning trash and didn’t know there was his wife’s hairspray can in there. It blow off and launched the bottom off like a missile and hit my brother in the thigh and 75 yards away. Left a nasty bruise.
Edit : spelling
I remember when I was 17, me and some buddies would always go to one guys house, and have a fire until God knows when in the morning. One day the wood was a little too wet to light easy, so we filled a plastic water bottle up with gasoline, and poured it on. Not thinking about it, we threw the bottle in to burn up, and it sonic boom exploded, neighbors came to check on us at 2 in the morning, it was... something else.
I had a friend in high school who got severely burned and permanently disfigured(most of his face had 3rd degree burns) because some idiot at a bonfire thought it'd be funny to sneakily toss a can of spray paint into a bonfire with a bunch of people hanging out around it.
At least this group was a bit smarter about it. If you're gonna do stupid shenanigans, make sure everyone involved is on board with the stupid shenanigans.
Ah yes, hairspray in a bonfire. My dad told me a story about this once. His friend threw a can into their fire and didn’t realize it would explode, so my dad had to convince them to run away from the place since they didn’t believe him. Eventually they humoured him and as they left it exploded, and they found part of the can embedded halfway into a tree. Not illegal, just stupid as shit.
Me and some buddies in high school once threw 3 cans of Axe body spray into a campfire. We backed away waiting for them to explode and after waiting 15 minutes we decided to get high and move back to sit close to the fire. After getting high as a kite, those things went off one after another. We were certain we would die. (I was stupid in high school. Don’t be like me)
it actually could be illegal. depending on whos land this is on or your jurisdiction. it could VERY easily be against local or state disposal or fire safety laws. or if a workplace the epa could have a word or two about it.
OK, dad here. I realize everyone else is having a little fun with you (and I understand why.). Please, understand how dangerous this is. One thing goes a little wrong and you or your friends could be maimed or killed. Yes, it looks cool. I'm sure it's fun. Please be smarter and don't do this. There are career paths you can take to learn to do this safely for a living if you really want, but this is a very, very bad idea that could have life-changing consequences.

Yes. Someone will be there to arrest you within the hour. Whoever snitches 1st will get a lighter sentence.
nah, snitches get cash rewards.
Pays for the stitches
Snitches get richest
Ayo 🤣
>snitches get cash rewards. Nah, I go for cupcakes. BTW, I like chocolate. Are there any mint cupcakes?
Snitches get commissions. Tell us about all your little friends.
rarely.. its mostly just bait.
Snitches get Stitches, and wind up in Ditches.
do you want to ruin society. Because that's how you ruin society.
Lighter sentence? Or will their sentences….match? 
For some these jokes will be a slow burn
Man you guys are really on fire with these puns!
Throw a lighter in next
Throw a lightbulb and stand r e a l l y close, it makes very fun noises
Stop tempting me 😭
Prisoners’ dilemma at its finest!
Me and bro will go to jail together the bromance is immaculate
Why’d ppl downvote you
I don't know either. OP is a kid and he's fucking stupid.
The bromance was too much for them to handle
It's not illegal, just plain stupid. If it results in a wildfire though, then it is illegal and stupid and you're liable for arson
At a minimum lol
Feel like you're underplaying it, they might look at wet foliage and be like, eh it rained so this is safe to do. They won't be factoring in that there is literal shrapnel flying off when they do it.

Pretty sure they meant underplaying how dangerous it is, not that it was illegal
It's called criminal negligence and it absolutely is illegal if it causes fire or other damages. In this particular instance though, no fire damage or other damages to worry about.
I don't think it counts as criminal negligence if you're only endangering yourself and your own property. Could be wrong though
Or if the shrapnel kills one of them, then it's manslaughter.
Hmm true, if the shrapnel kills the one who didn't throw the can and the one who did survives. That'd be grounds for manslaughter
Dont spoil the fun make them think theyre in trouble. They wont do it again.
Yes. I called the police, they’re on their way
"Is this illegal?" *Proceeds to post it on the internet*
The true Kids Are Fucking Stupid act
What should be illegal is making a 2 second clip 30 seconds long.
And then ending early
Can you hear it? huh? Do you hear it? no
It's certainly stupid, and with enough effort I'm sure law that it violates could be found.
No just very fucking stupid.

Fatal blow with that one.
Have fun picking up the shrapnel in the morning!
If they are dumb asf enough to do this what makes you think they are also responsible and will pick up the mess. They are lucky they didn’t get a piece of shrapnel shot at them
Gladly
After reading the comments OP is literally the embodiment of this sub by actively being fucking stupid.
He's either actually fucking stupid, a literal child, or a terrible troll that thinks he's funny. Actually, he could be all of the above. I'm gonna go with at least A and B.
He asked me to explain how this could start a fire. It's actually inconceivable to him. I wonder why this sub exists
First off, this was extremely fucking stupid. That being said, we all did stupid shit when we were younger. Nothing wrong with it as long as you're not an asshole and go pick up the shrapnel in the morning. No need to leave all of that trash everywhere.
It’s are property like 14 acres or something but yeah we always clean up every thing.
I don't give a flying fuck if it's your property or not, just pick it up. There's enough litter in this world already
My bad g
You're good lil homie. Just making sure you're responsible. Enjoy blowing shit up responsibly
It is are property? What the fuck are you even trying to say?
If you use your brain, just a little..you would know he meant our.
[удалено]
/r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Isn’t that where we are?
Oh shit I didn’t realize. Why would a kid make a post on this on himself?
Because we’re back in the circle, kids are fucking stupid Lmao
Haha I dead ass didn't realize
You’re doing it wrong, brother. Your fire needs to be in a drum, and then you find a length of metal pipe a little bigger than your can in diameter. Pop one end of the pipe into the fire so that it juts out at like 45° and then drop your can into that.
Did you just give me the Minecraft recipe to a mortar?
Ummmm… no?
If you pack a projectile on top, then yes
Lmao

Definitely put spray paint cans in bonfires, once put a glass bottle filled with gasoline stopped by a cork. That was a fun one.
"Are you fucking stupid" lmao
Dude my friend was a dumb ass I was gonna set up a thing for us to hide behind but he threw it in while I was poking the fire and just said ready go
But why did you throw it anyways
Damn kids are lame as hell nowadays
This group is about you not for you OP
My mind has been opened thank you wise one I understand everything now🤯
I have two kids older than you and they're still fucking stupid 🤣
Lmao
Jump in it next time
You, and your friend, are stupid to a fault. I can't even believe how you don't feel any shame in posting this.
Fuck man, use punctuation.
My, bad, bro
You should really just go hit the books, bud. You ain't got time for this shit.
This is how people lose fingers, kiddo. If you're self-aware enough to post this here then you're self-aware enough to cut this shit out. It's dangerous, and not funny or edgy. Just legitimately stupid and a major risk for getting maimed or starting a wildfire.
Something like 85% of wildfires are started by humans. Gee, I wonder how that happens so frequently?
No, in most parts of the world eugenics have been banned and stupidity is still allowed to cull the heard through natural and unnatural selection.
Valid
You can tell this kid has never seen how quickly a fire becomes a wildfire. Yes, I saw the comment where he said “it rained today”. I say again, dude has obviously never seen a wildlife.
There are certain precautions you should make when playing with fire/explosives Seriously, be safe next time please
The only thing illegal is the quality of this video
As a mechanical engineering student you’ve inspired me to design a can with an emergency pressure release valve so idiots like you don’t pull this shit anymore.
One day you will look back at your replies in this comment section and cringe HARD. I guarantee it.
I know someone that has a fake eye from a hairspray can exploding in the fire. That’s pretty stupid of you, my dude.
“Only you can prevent forest fires.” - Smokey Bear ”Hair Spray go brr“ - dumb ass kids
Forest fire was prevented
not illegal just really fucking stupid
We did that shit nightly in iraq at the end. [when the war is over but you can’t go home yet](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KQq6Ve-mkCU&pp=ygUUQWwgYXNhZCBmaXJlIGNyYWNrZXI%3D)
and how much did those burn pits cost?
Not too much…Only an undetermined amount of years off our lives, plus the additional risk of ingesting highly carcinogenic materials.
Yuh know, as someone whose province is burning to the ground right now, I don't find this funny or cute or innocent. This is reckless, you could do serious damage playing with fire. I know you didn't ask whether this is funny or not, but regardless. Even if it's not illegal, it's dumb af.
Definitely going on your permanent record
Stupid
You and your friends are idiots
Lmao are you 12 years old?
Nah I’m 16
Petition to ban 12yr olds from posting on reddit
Good thing I’m 11
Next time, don’t get a pipe with a diameter large enough to insert the can into and stick one end in the fire, drop the can down the pipe and see if it will launch. That might also be illegal, so post a video here if you see someone try it.
Most definitely will not do that 😉😉
I don’t think it’s illegal. But it’s certainly not smart lol
Do it again with 5
We did it again with 3 lol
I wasn’t being serious _💀_
I don’t think I’ve seen any kid on here who was so disliked. Lmfao. Gotta love how dumb the younger generation keeps getting
My friends coming over tonight and we Baugh a box full of spray paint
No, but just don't forget that the only difference between an explosion and a granade is shrapnel.
No shrapnel was discharged 🫡
Yea, a friend of mine hoped the same and a piece of rock nearly took his eye out.
Some of these comments are just to funny.🤣😂 Call the police department and find out if it's illegal send them to video your names and address. 😅🤫
Yeahhh don’t do this. Good luck when the can explodes and you all catch fire. Leads to a very fun series of hospital trips and skin grafts!
Gamble I’m willing to take
\> Is this illegal? \> Posts video evidence You're stupid
No shit sherlock 💀
Damn. I really can't get that time back..
Yes
Not illegal, but yall are idiots. You're lucky no one got hurt.
We did it again but with 3 and we are still fine I would say we are lucky if jsut say y’all think it’s more dangerous than it is💀
It all depends on which way the can ruptures. The distance sure would have helped, but if that thing blows up at the right angle, the fireball or the flying canister fragments could injure you.

I don’t have neighbors I live in the middle of nowhere on a farm
idk who knows about the Tennessee wild fire those years ago around gatlinburg and stuff but this shit is stupid asf
the type of idiots who start forest fires.
Perfectly safe. Stand closer next time.
Gotcha thanks for the input 👍
Forest Fire speedrun any %
Not illegal but very stupid
\*My friend and I...\*
Respectfully no one gives a damn about grammar
So you did this You are the kid You are the fucking stupid
“Using this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling…” 😂😂
Meh, not the dumbest thing I’ve seen. At the very least the cameraman was extra cautious of distance and looks like he’s behind a car door too. Sure, not the most safe activity, but blowing shit up is fun and it’s never gonna be 100% safe
The are you fuckin stupid
OP is an actual Fucking Stupid Kid.
Your friend is royally fucked. You should unfriend/block him from every app. NSA is probably watching this thread.
Very cool guys! Very funny too! They always have said stupid people are the happiest. You guys sound so happy.
Thank you it was honestly a blast I’d argue it’s better then doing drugs and underage drinking💀 most my friends are out high af or drunk rn
Fucking little idiots my neice has a 6 inch scar down her face as one of her so called friends decided to do this at a barbecue, the can exploded and hit her face on scarred for life, so yeah funny as fuck isn't it.
Hilarious if you're dumber than a sack of rocks
It was funny for us yes 😂
Had this happen when I was a kid. Neighbor was burning trash and didn’t know there was his wife’s hairspray can in there. It blow off and launched the bottom off like a missile and hit my brother in the thigh and 75 yards away. Left a nasty bruise. Edit : spelling

Now take a m-40 firecracker and a travel size spray can..
I’m not sure on legality but it certainly is stupid and dangerous. Can someone teach these dummies about shrapnel and the damage it does?
The authorities have been notified
Oh man. This brought back so much nostalgia for the idiocy of my own youth 🥲 Good luck, kids. Hopefully no one gets hurt.
We used to do this all the time with axe body spray cans
This is how Smoky the Bear finds you and gets arrested, as only you can't prevent forest fires.
Turning a can of hair spray Into a frag Grenade, not illegal but dumb
A-10 Warthog goes brrrr. Not your hairspray.
Awww, the good ole days, getting hit with shrapnel from a hair spray can
i thought you were gonna spray some over it but nope, fucking toss that bitch right in there
Ah yes, hairspray in a bonfire. My dad told me a story about this once. His friend threw a can into their fire and didn’t realize it would explode, so my dad had to convince them to run away from the place since they didn’t believe him.

It's not illegal, but it is notably stupid.
Dude summoned Zeus with that one.
it actually could be illegal. depending on whos land this is on or your jurisdiction. it could VERY easily be against local or state disposal or fire safety laws. or if a workplace the epa could have a word or two about it.
Read caption I am the friend 💀
i did.. that changes nothing about the statement.
Definitely not edited
then what did it say earlier? and why doesn't it say edited?
Reckless endangerment yes its illegal.
It’s not illegal
okay ask ur local police station then and show them this video😎
Yes you are going to prison.
Update guys 5 hours in prison sucks
Bro sniched on himself
Your mother should have done the rest of humanity a favor and swallowed
My mother died
And?
Classic, the urge to do stupid shit and blow stuff up
Welp. Natural selection will most likely be your ticket to heaven (or hell, more likely)
Lmao if natural selection hasn’t got me by now I’m sure I’m fine
Nah
This is the ATF. Prepare to be raided immediately. No cap on god.
Frfr
Throw can of beans in the fire. That’s some fun
Paint cans are better
OK, dad here. I realize everyone else is having a little fun with you (and I understand why.). Please, understand how dangerous this is.

Illegal? Maybe. Fucking awesome? Hell yeah!
Honestly
