According to the Las Vegas Sun, Steve Wyrick has filed suit against Pyritz Pyrotechnic Group for their role in his "Death Drop" publicity stunt that went wrong resulting in the injury of one of the staff members involved. According to the article, "Pyritz breached the contract by failing to provide a pyrotechnics display that operated property and which detonated prematurely, causing a fire that destroyed a portion of Wyrick's trick props and that placed Wyrick's staff in peril," Wyrick charged in the lawsuit. According to KVBC, Wyrick's suit alleges breach of contract, negligence, failure to indemnify Wyrick for his damages and defamation because the incident allegedly damaged Wyrick's reputation. To date, Pyritz has refused to comment.
