Woman Seriously Injured During Pipeline Protest

Guys,

A small little firecracker in the palm of your open hand will sting when it explodes, but it would hardly leave a mark.

Put an identical little firecracker in the palm of your closed fist, and your hand will be blown to bits and you will lose several fingers when it explodes.

A flash bang grenade can be deadly in the right circumstances. The flash bang itself doesn't create any shrapnel by design, but the force of its explosion could very well cause other objects to accelerate up to deadly speeds and cause some major injuries.
