    Same! the best part, is the brain reads the signal from the hand blocking the heat, tells the hand to drop too much pain, and then takes it in the face.

    my guess is the firework is applying force downward as it tries to take off which happens to be in his mouth.

    How would that make sense? The rocket is trying its darndest to propel itself OUT of his mouth, not into it.

    It's trying to propel itself off of the stick. that stick is being forced down his throat.

    thats why when it goes off he immediately opens his kouth and tries to look downward but despite looking downward the stick doesnt fall.

    That's still incorrect. For one, the stick remains attached when launched. If it was meant to break free, it would have as there was nothing preventing it from doing so. That's irrelevant to the physics though. Either way, while the rocket is attached to the stick, the thrust is propelling them upward. All of the downward force is being applied directly to the dudes face. It stayed put when he looked downward because he was probably reflexively clenching his teeth in pain.

    The person you’re responding to is an absolute moron and doesn’t even understand the basics of how bottle rockets work. I’d save your time because they’re not intelligent enough to understand even basic things.

    the stick has no function in the launching of the rocket other than holding it upright until it fires. the rocket's "push" or driving acceleration force comes from the rapidly expanding gases from the solid fuel used in its base. the stick does not get pushed down.

    Lmfao so you don’t understand how bottle rockets work to begin with yet are trying to tell people how they work? The entire stick part of the rocket, the rocket is literally permanently attached to the stick. You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about here bud

    Not quite, it doesn’t “propel itself off the stick.” The firework carries the stick into the air. He’s probably just biting down too hard on the stick.

    Yes the embers were going directly into his mouth while applying downward force, which is exactly the reason I’m wondering why he didn’t just let it go, solving this issue immediately. I think the answer is “He was reacting instead of thinking.”

    the thing was being shoved down his throat. the downward pressure was pushing it into his mouth. i promise you he was trying to let go lol

    5 points Mainbaze

    No lol. The rocket pushes AIR/Ground to fly. The stick would have outwards kinetic energy.

    The stick and the propeller is attached, so by your logic the rocket would never be able to go anywhere if the rocket head was trying to get one way and the stick another.

    You are thinking of spring mechanics or something

    parent root
    -10 points Ha1lStorm

    Lol no, quite the contrary. Nothing was being shoved into anyone’s throats but maybe embers. You do realize that downward pressure results in upwards force right? The firework pressing down causes it to rise, not be pressed against him. It’s like standing up from a chair, when you stand up you’re applying a downwards pressure onto the ground below you, resulting in your body to rise.

    That's not how it works. Look up Newton's third law. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. There is most definitely force being applied downward.

    Man you seem to get so close to the point yet really struggle to put the facts together. You’re 100% right there’s more force being applied downward, which is exactly why I’m saying that the direct upward force applied to the bottle rocket itself is so great. You really struggle with putting 2+2 together don’tcha?

    this dude throat, which is currently pushing a wooden rod downs

    Do you really believe that the wooden dowel rod this bottle to jet is inserted into and attached to the dude’s throat? It’s pretty clear it’s not. Please tell me at which point specifically you observe what you’re claiming. It’s very clearly inserted into his mouth and bitten by his teeth. I don’t understand how you fail to see this. I also don’t understand how you fail to understand how basic physics works. When a rocket (or anything) creates a downward force, an equally opposite force is created, enabling anything (with force applied) to move in an opposite direction… in this case moving upwards (as all bottle rockets have done since the beginning of time). Are you suggesting that physics is wrong? If so, I’d like to see your proof or mathematics involved in your deduction. If your math checks out and you’ve somehow reinvent physics I’ll gladly stick my foot in my mouth but so far you’ve only made baseless (and easily irrefutable) claims.

    Do you not see the direction of travel of embers? Or of you do, do you not understand physics? Because it sure seem like you lack understanding…

    His life is ruined now. He will have permanent scars and a disfigured face.

    At the onset he would be hospitalised for weeks. Would have to eat and drink only liquids, thru a pipe, thru the nose. He would be lucky if he doesn’t have internal burns inside his damn throat because oh boy that will not be fun. Any semblance of normality and social life is done for him.

    How the fuck did this dumbass made this far is beyond me. And his friends, yeah fuck them. Bastards.
