Naples – Among the fifty-seven injured who made up the heavy toll of New Year's Eve in the shadow of Vesuvius, the story of a twenty-four-year-old Roman tourist in the city stands out for its incredible sequence of events.
The young man, who had come to the city to spend New Year's Eve, managed the unfortunate feat of having his medical records reported twice in the same night for incidents related to fireworks explosions.
The first drama in the emergency room
The young man's night had begun badly shortly after midnight. An accidental firecracker exploded, causing serious injuries to his hand, requiring the amputation of three fingers.
He was rushed to the Vecchio Pellegrini Hospital in Pignasecca, where he was immediately taken into care by medical staff. After receiving the necessary medications and his condition stabilized, the twenty-four-year-old was discharged.

The second accident at dawn
What shocked doctors and law enforcement was what happened a few hours later. Despite the trauma and the injury he had just suffered, the young man, once back on the street, reportedly handled pyrotechnics again. A second firecracker exploded near his face, violently striking him in the eye.
The return to the hospital
Pellegrini Hospital staff received the same patient in the emergency room for the second time in a single night. The boy underwent further tests to assess the extent of the eye damage sustained in the second blast.
An episode that highlights, once again, the dangers of illegal construction and the total lack of caution that often turns a night of celebration into an avoidable tragedy.
The boy set a real record for stupidity and recklessness.

It's truly incredible how this young man didn't understand the dangers of fireworks. Two accidents in one night seems like too many. I hope this story serves as a lesson to many other young people.
