SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The review by the New York City Health Department found school-aged boys were four times more likely than girls to get hurt. In New York City, all consumer fireworks are illegal.

Even among adults, men are more than three times as likely as women to be injured in a fireworks-related mishap. No one has been killed by fireworks in the city in recent years, the review said.

Sixty percent of the child injuries occurred in Staten Island and Queens, even though only 32 percent of school-age children live in these boroughs. Wounds were the most common injury caused by fireworks, followed by burns and broken bones.

Most people injured their arms and hands, likely because they were holding a firework when it detonated; others were struck in the face or eyes. While the average hospital stay was three days, many of the injuries were more serious. The fireworks' consequences included blindness, amputation and third-degree burns, the review said.
