摘要

Injuries related to fireworks, especially on New Year’s Eve, are frequently seen in the routine clinical setting but they rarely result in fatal injuries. In the depicted case a young male adult died due to incorrect handling of a firework of category F4, which led to a massive craniocerebral trauma. The sale of pyrotechnical material of this category is only allowed for people with a pyrotechnical license according to the German Explosives Act, which in this case did not exist. This article discusses the mechanism of injury and gives a short overview of the construction and the operation of the firework used.
