A Man Blew His Leg Off When He Shot A Lawnmower Full Of Explosives (Video)

Boys will be boys…

A Georgia man is recovering after a pretty awful injury he sustained last week.  After packing an old lawnmower with Tannerite, the man then turned his gun on it…and that’s when things went wrong.  In case you’re not familiar, Tannerite is a mixture of different materials that is used to make explosive targets.  Once mixed, a high-power bullet fired at it will cause an explosion.  And that’s just what happened.

The man turned his gun on the mower and pulled the trigger.  But when it exploded, shrapnel from the mower shot right back at him, blowing off one of his legs right at the knee.

Tannerite is completely legal in the state of Georgia, as well as the gun that the guy used to shoot at it with.  However, experts recommend that you are HUNDREDS of feet away from it when you pull the trigger.  In this case, this man was less than fifty feet away.  So essentially, he’s actually pretty lucky that he only blew off his leg and didn’t kill himself or his friends.
