A Dude Lost His Leg After Shooting a Lawnmower Filled With Explosives

It's all fun and games until someone loses a leg.

32-year-old David Pressley in Georgia decided to go full-blown Weekend Warrior and pack a riding lawnmower with the explosive Tannerite and then take a few shots at it with his rifle.

That's all well and good seeing as it's perfectly legal and I, too, am not above blowing stuff up from time-to-time, but there's a reason you follow directions to a tee when you're dealing with something that can kill you.

On their website, Tannerite recommends you maintain a safe distance of at least 100 yards when shooting at a target filled with the explosive substance. Pressley was a mere 25 yards away from the mower when he fired the shot that caused the mower to explode sending shrapnel through the air that severed his leg below the knee and covered the cameraman in blood.

Aside from the agony of the incident, let's not forget it's 2016 and YouTube users can be the most brutal on the web. Yeah, I wouldn't go anywhere near the comments section for the above clip if I were that guy.
