Each year around 800 people – most of them children – need treatment in hospital for injuries caused by fireworks. A third of the accidents take place at back garden firework parties and about a third of the   41   are to children under the age of 13. The cost of medical treatment after firework accidents can be as much as ￡20 million a year.

Martin Pearcey, 11, is one of the lucky ones: he could have been   42  in one eye.

Like hundreds of others on November 5（Guy Fawkes’s Night）, Martin went to his   43  park to see the fireworks display. He was with his brothers, John and Dave.

“A gang of kids had taken the   44  material out of several fireworks and had put it in a pile on the ground,” remembers John.

“When they lit it, it went off and   45  Martin in his eye.”

John   46  Martin to their grandmother’s house nearby, where the eye was immediately bathed in cold water. He was then taken to hospital, where a sterilized（消毒的） patch was put over it.

“At first he couldn’t see a thing because the eye was so swollen(腫脹的),” says Martin’s elder sister, Pat. “It was weeks before it would open   47  again.”

His dad agrees. “He was lucky not to lose the sight of that eye.”

“Little kids shouldn’t be able to get hold of fireworks,” adds Pat. “I think organized   48  are much safer.”

And young Martin now says, “I don’t mind fireworks when grown – ups are   49 , but I don’t like it when little kids have them. I think fireworks are a bit stupid, really.”
