A man was seriously injured after a fireworks accident happened while he was kayaking.

WOOD-TV 8 reports the victim was kayaking on Prairie Creek with five others. A witness says they had just launched their kayaks when two explosions were heard. The explosion put a huge hole in the kayak and injured the man's legs.

A nearby neighbor, who is also a nurse's assistant, assisted at the scene and says a second person suffered less serious injuries.

Ionia county deputies warn that even though these fireworks are legal, they are still very dangerous.
