NSFL description and a link to a footage of a very morbid accident from redditThere's a video that's still imprinted on my memory that serves as a succint symbol of all these completely avoidable incidents: a guy on the hill blows his hand off but he's that morbidly drunk he repeatedly throws it into the sky like 'Hell yeah!' while others are completely shocked and try to help him climb down. https://old.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/v25y3o/warning_firework_blows_dudes_hand_off_all_angles/

I've seen a couple of minor accidents myself and I don't really like fireworks that just blow up and\or without a fuse. I don't trust their producers in the price range that's usually affordable to my peers. That thing being completely delegated to pros with expertise (and a full set of limbs) isn't bad at all, and they usually do pyrotechnics when and where hundreds of people can si,ultaniously enjoy them, unlike a fingerbomb one can ignite on the street.

Life. It's a common abbreviation for clips with gore that aren't easy to unsee.

But that guy sure had a major L.

It can also be context-specific. Sometimes the L can stand for "Lunch", for videos you shouldn't watch while eating or might otherwise trigger a gag reflex (gore, pimple popping, anything with creepy crawlies, etc).
