Well, in the case of firecrackers, I can undertand throwing them in the microwave. It's a contained space. When they go off, the explosion won't hit you (unless they're strong enough to explode the microwave, of course).
As for Jeff said, my opinion would be "Drunk people do stupid things. Let's provide as many opportunities as possible for those stupid things to get them killed.". :-)

I don't know why the guy thought putting them in the microwave was a good idea. I don't know why he thought setting down an explosive medium next to a candle was a good idea. This guy wasn't real bright. He got into serious trouble earlier in the year when he went up to a girls' floor at 2am and ran around the hallway screaming with his pants and underwear down around his ankles. He couldn't understand why he was in any sort of trouble.
Anyway, he tossed the firecrackers into his microwave. The force from the 'cracker broke out the glass in the door of the 'wave. This was at 4am. Since I lived under him, I got the joy of being woken up by shattering glass, the sounds of what I though was gunfire, and then the fire alarms going off.
I was mad as hell. That was my night on-call and I had just gotten to sleep about an hour earlier (prior to that I was handling nonsense elsewhere because a girl decided to have sex with her boyfriend in the showers of her girls-only bathroom. It was a wild night.

Ee-yep. I was an RA for just about a full year. The firecracker incident happened during my time as the desk manager. It was a love-hate job to be sure.

Fine. Just be sure that they don't kill anyone else while they are at it.

I people didn't do stupid things. then everyone else would have nothing to laugh at. and the world would be a very boring place.

I'd prefer that to the absolute BULLSHIT claimculture that has grown like a tumor over the years. Sometimes I wonder if people who sue [insert what applies] should be allowed to breed. Where do we draw the line, if we start awarding $35729572192,45 in damages to victims of their own goddamned stupidity?!
I call that intelligence, wrangling that much money from some big corporation, actually. How do you call someone stupid when they get more money then Bill Gates?
Shit, I'd settle for a renovated brownstone on Beacon Street ...
