It almost seems irresponsible to spread the meme on this one as there is bound to be someone out there stupid enough to try it. If they were not injured then it's only because they were spraying gently or not pointing it directly into the ear. Even if you were stranded on a desert island, there are very few impacted wax problems that hydrogen peroxide won't fix, and I have even used it (in a dilute solution) to drown and irrigate out a wasp from someone's ear canal. eeaagh!
