"New Year's Eve in Germany is the evening in which all the nice, normal, practical, risk-averse people are replaced by gun-powder-touting, death wish-seeking pyromaniacs."
This year again promises to end with a collective mega bang: imports of pyrotechnics were up 62 percent on last year, totalling 42,400 tonnes, said the statistics office Destatis, citing data until September.
The figures do not include illegal imports, considered especially dangerous and responsible for many severe injuries, from vision loss and hearing damage to burns and severed hands.
