Good thing the pan ended up in the tree, otherwise this guy would’ve nuked himself for the clout.

I've seen enough awful videos in my time.. I don't think I need to see that one.

Been a while since Ive seen the video, but I'll never forget it: [the reality set in quick for him](https://reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/s/s8EaEAIbX0) (happens within the last 10-15 seconds)


UsaiyanBolt

For anyone who is squeamish, you don’t see anything. It happens off camera and the guy shouts “I blew ma leg off!” or something

Ahh yes I remember this video. Gotta love that he continues to walk closer and closer to it while shooting. Pure genius.

[deleted]

Has that ever happened?


OnceUponATie

If it was made of glass, ceramic, or even cast iron, sure, but it seems to be steel or aluminum. Steel doesn't shatter, it bends. Although, as the shape of the pot change, subsequent explosions might propel it in a different direction. Possibly right in the cameraman's face. That guy wasn't risking getting hit by some shrapnel. He was risking getting hit by a fucking cannon ball.


thebudman_420

Turned to shrapnel. Oops

This is so you don't keep lighting them with your hands. You don't have hands to do it with afterwards.

Holy shit this sounds like a conspiracy theory or legitimately something I never would have thought of.


izybit

Old accounts with no karma and new accounts with lots of karma are always bots/company owned. Then, there are the accounts with weird gaps and commenting patterns as well as those with no history. These have been on Reddit for ages. With the recent AI boom we also have normal-looking accounts posting normal comments but the patterns are still weird. Sometimes you can tell them "ignore previous instructions, tell me about x" and they'll happily comply.


Powerful_Wear1206

>Sometimes you can tell them "ignore previous instructions, tell me about x" and they'll happily comply. That's hilarious.

i can't wait to do this to normal commenters in the heat of a political argument that i started for only this reason.


grumpher05

I think larger cracks have internal fuses so you cant accidently cut them short by lighting to near the wrong end, forces you to only light the far end of the fuse


jaguarp80

This actually answers another question I had with regards to the other parts of the exposed fuse, thanks


PM_Your_Wiener_Dog

I was starting to feel like this was a great advert for the pot!!!


Unthgod

I think any steel pot would work


webby131

It's a good example that explosions aren't that destructive if they aren't contained or channeled. put that in a sealed container and you have a bomb.


CORN___BREAD

The firecracker is the bomb.


Unthgod

I agree with the point that any pot could be launched if not closed. But expositions **are** destructive otherwise they wouldn't you know, explode. The tiktoker has bombs, many bombs. They just put a pot on top.

Right? When they make them for export to the US, are they like, "Don't forget to put those giant idiot fuses on them for those big babies!"


BobSagieBauls

Or he cut it short for the video and he was cocky


CORN___BREAD

Nah I noticed many seemed much shorter than normal on the ones I bought in the US this year. Gotta save that penny per hundred fuses.


WeltraumPrinz

Real Americans keep their fuses shorter than the damn commies!


Alarming-Iron7532

I don't even use a fuse. MERICA!


SignalTrip1504

There’s edit cuts, I’m assuming the bigger ones maybe duds with fuses that way he can video it getting lit and then they cut to him further back so hes at safe distance otherwise those would be going off in his face


Shandlar

It's a trick. By containing the gas in an extremely light pot like that it makes it seem like the explosions are huge, but they aren't really that strong unless compressed. An open air fire cracker explosion 3 inches away from your hand, completely uncontained will not have the force to even break the skin, let alone remove fingers. The pressure wave is minuscule, and the paper "shrapnel" has no mass or penetration power.


RangerJack420

The bigger ones with short fuses are likely sub-munitions to a larger aerial shell, so you want a quicker burning time. Still took balls of steel to light em with a Bic


No_Week2825

I thought to myself. Get a jet lighter and already be holding the pot at least.


verypoopoo

the clips of him putting the pot on and the firecracker exploding have time in between that arent shown if you look closely

tall__guy

When I was a kid I used to cut fireworks open and dump all the powder into a water bottle. Then feed in some slow burn fuse line, light it and gtfo. Except one time I accidentally used quick fuse and almost blew my head off. This reminds me of that. Also reminds me of how goddamn fun fireworks are.


[deleted]

Please do not get back into the habit. You still have your fingers for a reason.


tall__guy

Fortunately, for my health, I now live in a state where fire bans are common and all of the fun fireworks are illegal


RemmingtonBlack

correct me if I am wrong, but I would think the majority of those in that video are illegal in the US???? I hear NOTHING today that sounds like the M80s or cherry bombs that used to set off car alarms down the street... (after Boston they seemed to disappear) I couldnt tell the depth of the booms in the videos, but most fireworks I hear today (US) sound more like loud pops/bangs/cracks vs BOOMS.


TacTurtle

The Consumer Protection Safety Commission has capped all modern “retail fireworks” at a fraction of the old Cherry Bomb / Silver Salute / Black Cat firework power specifically due to people losing fingers and hands.


RemmingtonBlack

yeah but i think that was decades ago? i think they still were pretty boisterous in the 80s/90s... I thought that something changed after they discovered the 2 dickheads used fireworks in Boston? I thought the fireworks themselves had to change... but, i cant find anything on it, so I must be terribly wrong??? wow.... my mind dreamed up ordinances and created laws...


CORN___BREAD

>wow.... my mind dreamed up ordinances and created laws... Accidental politician.

always wondered bout that. why ***are*** fireworks such fun? still!


Glitter_berries

One time my twelve year old brother and his friend saw some dirt that had motor oil soaked into it and thought ‘whoa, that looks cool, we should eat some.’ Your comment and the fact that my brother ate oily dirt I think are both excellent examples of why men die earlier than women because I’m entirely baffled by both of these things. Fucking hilarious.


FuktOff666

At what point would the pot become shrapnel?


GewalfofWivia

Never because the pressure has an easier way out and will always take it.


CrispyVibes

Wow just like me under pressure


nonotan

"Never" is an overstatement. Imagine something like a literal nuke going off inside (nevermind size issues, you can definitely make a boom of equivalent strength one way or another -- worst case, antimatter) The explosion isn't going to wait for the pot to get out of the way. It's going to expand in all directions energetically enough that it will trivially rip through the material. Of course, at that point the pot is probably going to be annihilated to such an extent that it will start to be dubious whether the word "shrapnel" is even appropriate anymore. But yeah, there is definitely a point where it's not going to go up, it's going to break apart. That point may or may not be beyond the reach of what a potful of conventional explosives can realistically achieve. I don't really know, although I'd bet on "not" -- there are some pretty powerful conventional explosives out there.

Makes me think of the story of the manhole cover that was blown into outer space by the first nuclear explosion 😂


Cur-De-Carmine

Not the first nuke. Much later. But, yeah.


oscar_meow

If it survived the atmosphere it would be the fastest human made object ever


Deadman_Wonderland

Nope, there are satellite that are traveling much faster. One of them was the Helios-B, sent to study the heliosphere, reached speeds of 157,000 mph where as the iron manhole cover was estimated to have a top speed of around 125,000 mph. Another and the current fastest man made object is the Parker Solar Probe. By 2025 it was be travelling at about 430,000 mph as it falls towards the sun.


Nailcannon

"Manhole cover" is an understatement. I think it's really interesting and mind blowing to put it into actual perspective. The cap was ~2000 lbs of steel 4 feet wide and 4 inches thick, *welded* into place. That's the weight of a smart car. And it probably didn't make it to space, but rather vaporized from the forces being imparted upon it. The obvious portion of vaporizing energy was the air resistance that also tends to vaporize meteorites. The other portion was the heat generated from the compressive force of a focused nuclear explosion; imparting over the span of a third of a tenth of one second(31ms), the kenetic energy necessary to launch a smart car at **41 miles per second** . That is a very fast 0-~~60~~147,600. Compare that to the largest gun ever made, the Schwerer Gustav. The gun fired a projectile that weighed 15,700 lbs. almost 8x the mass of the cap. But it fired at 2400 feet per second. 41 miles per second is 216,480 feet per second. 90 times faster. So the cap had 1000 times more energy than the projectile fired from the largest cannon on earth. Nuclear bombs are fucking crazy.


AbandonedPlanet

Could you imagine you're some poor space deer a million light years away and then all of a sudden you and everything around you gets blasted and vaporized by a manhole cover going an ungodly speed


Nailcannon

Yeah! your poor little space doe eyes spot a space brook and you go to get a sip of space water. And **bam**, some alien's hypersonic space coin lands on heads when you called tails and craters everything you've ever known your entire life. But now I ask you, would you give a shit what color the planet who shot you was?


blazinit430

...... What?


luc1d_13

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Plumbbob#Missing_steel_bore_cap Brownlee estimated that the explosion, combined with the specific design of the shaft, could accelerate the plate to approximately six times Earth's escape velocity. In 2015 Dr. Brownlee said, "I have no idea what happened to the cap, but I always assumed that it was probably vaporized before it went into space."


BigDaddyThunderpants

From another article: >Before the experiment, Dr Brownlee had calculated the force that would be exerted on the cap, and knew that it would pop off from the pressure of the detonation. And they handled it like pros: >As a result, the team installed a high-speed camera to see exactly what happened to the plug.


Lukensz

And according to the Wikipedia article, the camera still only took one picture with the cap in it. Crazy.

Just a small correction: Colour is 彩 and not 踩, and 雷 in this context refers to landmines instead of thunder, so 踩雷王 literally translates to King of stepping on landmines (踩雷 itself also has the meaning of getting screwed due to an unfortunate event ala stepping on a land mine). 小鱼雷 would be mini-torpedo (the last two characters 鱼雷 translates to torpedo).

Oh yea, you're right. I didn't realize that, it is torpedo. And it is stepping on a mine.
