I'm amazed the entire refrigerator didn't explode into the proverbial "million pieces"
when the bottle rocket(s) went off.
You are so right about your friend and his college roommate having too much time on their hands. Did they get away with their very risky stunt?
Using any kind of explosive device if you don't know (or are not sure of) what you are doing can be lethal, as well as risky and/or downright dangerous. Were they living in an off-campus apartment or in a dormitory? In either situation, I'd think they would have been sternly warned or even punished if word of their stunt ever got out. If they were in a dormitory, they would likely hear from the campus police; if they were in an off-campus apartment, they would get the boom lowered on them (and possibly evicted) by the landlord.
