Remember this guy dodging Tannerite Shrapnel?
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 5/1/2018 | A Ball

Posted on 05/01/2018 8:44:25 AM PDT by w1n1

When shooting at Tannerite, great care must be taken. Or else bad things happen. Witness how a refrigerator door almost claimed the life of this Tannerite shooter.

This shooter almost gets hit by a refrigerator door that quickly turned into a piece of flying shrapnel. The only thing that he did right was to take cover behind a tree.

Shooting binary explosive mixtures such as Tannerite can be addictive. Bigger is always better right? Well that thought might just get you injured or even killed.

In this video shared by Avery Ball we see a shooter taking aim at an old refrigerator. It is packed with Tannerite. When the shot rings out the explosion comes at a huge cost. That refrigerator door is now a shrapnel missile that blasts through a small tree and almost hits the shooter. The only thing that saves this Tannerite shooter is the tree he hid behind for the shot. See the full video of tannerite shrapnel here.

There are two types of people in the world — people who do stupid stuff with binary explosives, and people who don’t.

Some people are just too stupid to live. May their lives serve as an example to others.

I suppose we can give the shooter credit for at least trying to take cover.

There was another video posted on here of a guy shooting at an old lawnmower packed with Tannerite. the poor guy ended up getting one of his legs blown off.

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary (explosives), and those who don’t.

The world need Darwin award winners too.

"Garry Hoy was a lawyer for the law firm of Holden Day Wilson in Toronto notorious for how he died. In an attempt to prove to a group of prospective articling students that the glass in the Toronto-Dominion Centre was unbreakable, Hoy threw himself through a glass wall on the 24th storey and fell to his death after the window frame gave way."

Born: Jan 01, 1955 Died: Jul 09, 1993 Awards: Darwin Awards (1996)

For some reason, that video has always looked fake to me. Something about the door itself, the way it flies or the size of it as it approaches. Just can’t put my finger on it.

There's actually three types of people -- people who do stupid stuff, people who don't and people who believe fake videos like this one are real.

Fake fake fake.

Notice how the refrigerator door never tumbles as it approaches the doofus, but rather just gets bigger and bigger.
