As I have learned on INGO, safety is for the birds.

Of course safety is for the birds. When is the last time you heard about a bird blowing itself up with Tannerite?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

"I blew my leg off!" Pressley yells.

Yeah, we'll need the INGO screen name on that one.

Hey Ya'll, watch this!

 

[maansmit]

How close was he when it blew up? Was it the explosion or flying shrapnel that caused the injury?

43 feet.

[strike]Shrapnel[/strike] abject stupidity caused the injury.

Man oh man...

 

[Snipercop]

That blows

 

[DRob]

That blows

That blows up!

What do we always say here about stupid games?

 

[caverjamie]

Hate to gear about a fellow gun person hurting themselves like this. I sure do enjoy my legs...glad I didn't discount the warning on the Tannerite instructions that said to not use a metal container. Blowing up metal things is probably ok too, as long as you dig your foxhole first and then duck really fast after shooting!

Zero sympathy

Doesn't tannerite say on the package to maintain 100 yards distance?

 

[ROLEXrifleman]

safe to say a push mower as an x-mas gift would be a bad idea?

 

[PaulF]

Doesn't tannerite say on the package to maintain 100 yards distance?

IIRC it is 100 yards/meters per half-pound portion...that guy apparently packed three pounds into the disabled yard tractor. The recommended stand-off distance would be six hundred yards...or just over a third of a mile.

Stupid things happen to stupid people.

That's horrible.








That I didn't think of that one.

Zero sympathy

Oh, come on. I almost always feel sorry for stupid people. Except for, you know, the one I have to interact with.
