I could see how he might’ve thought 25 yards was far enough away. But, there was shrapnel. Oops.

Offhand I would have thought being 75 feet away was enough. He was unlucky because a good size piece of shrapnel headed right towards his leg. Maybe part of the lawnmower blade? He lost one leg below the knee.

Nobody who has ever cut steel with explosives would think that even 100 yards was safe. Shrapnel travels for miles.
