Reply to comment by Constant_Peach_amigo in TIL Anvil firing is the practice of exploding an anvil into the air. Anvils are typically fired as a celebration, be it to honor St. Clement's (the Patron Saint of blacksmiths) or in a 21 anvil salut as found in New Westminster, British Columbia. by jamescookenotthatone

I actually was injured by falling anvil in real life as a young child. No memory of it whatsoever but I understand my finger was pretty flat.

Was it airborne, or did it just topple over somehow?

From what I've learned, it was "decoratively" balanced on a wall and I liked to climb things. So it may have been airborne for a moment or two in transition.
