Man shoots explosive lawnblower and blows his leg off (Now with vid!)

[fightingrabbit]

Lol stupid prize of the day.

A Georgia man lost his leg this week after he packed a lawn mower full of explosives and repeatedly shot at it with a rifle until it blew up, according to local media reports.

David Pressley, 32, and friends allegedly packed the lawn mower full of Tannerite, an explosive powder that's used by marksmen to create explosive targets.

Sheriff looks like George Clooney imo.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Not as graphic as I was hoping for.

Shocked that a 32 year old that still finds explosions cool blew his leg off.

I thought this thread would be about a black lawnblower and wondered wtf was going on.

After watching the video it makes more sense.

But what a moron that guy is.

 

[Hogey]

Also that's a lawnmower.

Wonder if medical insurance would cover this, heh.

Also if this stuff is legal why do people use fertilizer to make bombs?

 

[MUSTKILL]

LOL
that body armor didn't do shit, huh?

 

[SublimeSun]

That definitely was not a good idea. You can see his blood splattering in the air after the explosion.

That's exactly what I thought.

Legal in Georgia.

This is why we can't have nice things

 

[RerouteToRemain]

Fucking idiot. 10-15 yards away with what had to have been at least 5lbs.

Tannerite is fun but holy shit use some common sense. Explosives + metal + very close proximity. What could go wrong.

You have to shoot it with a high velocity cartridge for it to go off and even then, most of the time, it doesn't. Nothing else will make it go off. Not fire, not even another explosive can set it off. Also, that and the fact that it's a very weak explosive, relatively speaking.
