Overview

  • On July 4, 4xtra, co-host of the No Jumper podcast, suffered a fireworks explosion that severed two fingers and caused temporary blindness
  • A No Jumper X post initially overstated his injuries, prompting Adam22 to clarify that only two fingers were lost and his vision has since returned
  • Emily, 4xtra’s sister, launched a GoFundMe to cover his medical expenses and has raised more than $7,600 toward a $28,000 goal
  • Although his sight is restored, 4xtra faces permanent disability and is undergoing ongoing treatment in Los Angeles
  • The accident has renewed calls for stricter fireworks safety measures as Fourth of July injuries remain a leading cause of holiday ER visits
