Unless you know exactly how to make a watertight molotov, there's the possibility that you drip burning fluid onto yourself if you throw it up and over your body.

By throwing side-arm (around and out to the side, almost like a Frisbee) you fling any liquid away from you.

It's also a good idea to make sure nobody is standing to your side that you could potentially douse in flames.

Happy tossing, and remember to only use this knowledge for educational purposes!

So important to be well-educated! Thanks!

Unrelated; did you see that post about Nick Fuentes saying, "Your body. My choice" and getting absolutely doxxed? Funniest thing I've seen all year.

Don't worry Vice City taught me that an under arm throw is the norm
