[Whitworth]

Says she wasn't hurt but have to wonder if her ears are still ringing?

Oops.

 

[TrapperDude]

I wonder if she still has eyebrows.

The rhetorical question would be why would fireworks (black powder-based I assume) explode from a minor shock?

Those appeared to be the kinds that come in the little twisted paper units that detonate either from impact or from being squeezed between the fingertips--we used to do that with those when I was a kid. They use something other than black powder to work.

Being as this occurred in a country without the kinds of hazmat transport regulations we have in the West, they were probably just packed in the box with no cushioning or quantity limitations. Dropping the box would be like dropping one of the little snaps from that height. If it would detonate one, it would detonate them all.

It's a miracle everything around her did not ignite.

Yes impact sensitive "bang snaps" are paper holding coarse sand that has been coated with a fulminate. Now I'm going to say that there was more in the semi-soft package that the woman dropped, than just "bang snaps", and either they set off something bigger, OR she was unloading fulminate to be used to make the bang-snaps.

I think you guys are on the right track. I forgot about Pop-Its. There's a box of them on the workbench I found while unpacking the shop.
