I believe it was shrapnel form the blast, rather than the blast itself.

Do stupid things, win stupid prizes, as they say.

I have heard he used 3 pounds of Tannerite. That would be equivalent to about six grenades.

Doesn’t Tannerite need to be hit by a projectile at about 2400 fps?

No idea, never messed with it, only explosives that needed a primary explosive (blasting cap, initiator) to set off.

Bad luck! To the nth power. But maybe if he had gotten by unscathed this time he would keep on blowing up explosives this way so he would have gotten maimed somewhere down the road.

He’s reported to be filing a product liability against the lawnmower manufacturer, but experts say he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

Maybe, but I still can't help but feeling pity for him. Bad luck it was indeed. The man will have to suffer for it for the rest of his life.

Bad luck? Bad luck is minding your own business and having a meteor hit you in the head.

This is pure stupidity.
