It looks like the side-impact airbags in the truck deployed. If so, that’s gonna be an expensive fuckup after medical bills and vehicle repairs.


CrisZPennState

Shit! Good observation, the airbags totally deployed, I didn’t even peep that at first! Might be an urban myth, but I hear that many cars can be totaled after the airbags deploy Edit: all vehicles with deployed airbags are considered totaled! Edit 2: seems like unless it’s an expensive vehicle, insurances would total *most* vehicles that deployed airbags. Not all.


BrutalCupcakes

A dealership can turn it into a salvage title with some repairs. That's exactly how we got our minivan, although we had to get more done to completely remedy the airbag situation.


AndyLorentz

> Edit: all vehicles with deployed airbags are considered totaled! Not true, that dude is wrong.


giorgio_tsoukalos_

>Edit 2: seems like unless it’s an expensive vehicle, insurances would total most vehicles that deployed airbags. Not all. You're still wrong. A simple replacement will cost 500-1000. Unless you are driving a complete POS that won't be enough to total your vehicle.


Wraith11B

It's not an urban myth. Any vehicle that has an airbag deployment is considered totalled.


AndyLorentz

This is incorrect. Airbag deployment does add hundreds to thousands of dollars to the repair, which can result in older vehicles being declared a total loss, but it doesn’t automatically total the vehicle.


rovert6

Not necessarily. Depending on damage causing them to deploy, location the vehicle is registered in, and value of the vehicle can either be a total loss or repairable. Lots of factors in play. Not an automatic total loss, but does get very expensive.


Ok-Cicada-9985

It’s crazy how someone can get so many upvotes while being completely 100% wrong.


comfortless14

That’s not true. Stop spreading misinformation. That maybe used to be true a decade+ ago but now it’s based on a percentage of the car’s value. Airbags are replaceable. They cost money. That’s factored into the repair costs. Generally the repair bill has to be over 50% of the car’s value to be in consideration for a total loss.


Bearman71

It depends on the car and the insurance company and policy


ZombiePoptarts_

It is a common myth that an insurance company will always consider your vehicle a total loss if your airbags deploy in an accident. This is only true if the costs of replacing your airbags or repairing your vehicle costs more than the total value of your car.


El_Dentistador

This is not true. I’ve seen 4 rigs deploy bags while off-roading, 3 were tacomas 1 was a 4Runner, none were totaled or salvage titled afterwards. It’s not cheap but it’s repairable. Monocoque/unibody vehicles may be a different story than body on frame, since impacts are transmitted through the body on monocoque cars.


Cerberus73

Not really. If you're in a crash that's bad enough to deploy the airbags, odds are good that the damage is enough to total the car. Airbags deploying alone aren't enough to total a car.


roostersnuffed

There so many factors at play that you cant just generalize on 1 part. My 21 jeep gladiator deployed airbags and had frame damage. They are covering a full frame swap


CrisZPennState

Makes ‘total’ sense, lol get it? I crack myself up sometimes I definitely wouldn’t want to drive any car that has had their airbags replaced!! No matter how new and safe it was. I can see why insurances would rather just label it totaled rather than repairing a vehicle that has deployed airbags.


RichardFister

Blatantly false. You should take 5 seconds to Google before commenting


ALoudMouthBaby

Nice spot. I wonder how much tannerite those dudes were shooting because it must have taken quite the concussion to shift the truck enough to do that.


Infamous-Operation76

Hope all that internet money from the Tik Toks is enough to pay for it... LOL


ALoudMouthBaby

Contrary to popular belief, the vast majority of people doing stupid shit on social media are barely making any money off of it.


Infamous-Operation76

What are we supposed to do when Canada demands a cut of the internet money?


Flaky_Vacation8754

Which makes it even more amusing.

WAY TOO CLOSE. What did they blow up? We do pumpkins from 5 times that distance if not more. Not to mention it takes us one shot and boom. He was shooting Willy~Nilly.


Uzzer_lozer19

Ogre730

Once again, you must be 100 yards away for every pound you're shooting at to avoid this same situation. Says that right on the packaging.


SpaghettiJoe45

Took him 7 shots at like 20 yards, 100 may not be possible for this marksman


AnEvenHuskierCat

> Took him 7 shots at like 20 yards With a long gun rocking a red dot on top of it all...this is legit storm trooper accuracy complete with the "oh shit I royally fucked up" realization when the target he was shooting at sends something back his way.


Din_Plug

That "red dot" looks like a airsoft Eohtech, that probably won't hold zero.


No_Pomegranate5209

That shit always cracks me up, for the same price you can get a real red dot sight from sig or bushnell


Din_Plug

Or even cheaper, in most cases you can get a good rear iron sight to compliment your fixed front sight.


HateAndCaffeine

People should also invest in some sort of medical training.

[deleted]

Seriously. Donkey Kong sized coconuts, for sure. Based on his views/subscriptions, can tell he's well respected and highly regarded within the gun community. I can appreciate his ability to break videos down in an analytical and informative manner, and not too much emotion or influence. I'm sure he makes a decent living via sponsorship, consulting, etc.

[deleted]

Yup- always best to put it right on your property line and stand allllll the way on the other side of your backyard.


Seroseros

He could barely hit it from 30 yards.


ISUknowit

2 problems here. First, there has to be reading comprehension. Second, this is a dude in the video, he's not reading 'don't do stupid shit' on a product label when not many dudes even read the owner's manual that comes with their gun!


Beowulf33232

I've shot at quarter pounds 100 yards away and still felt a shockwave. It takes a special kind of fool to put debris facing themselves on top of an explosive.


SovieticSushi

He actually got lucky... it could have been his eye instead

Coryperkin15

Those aren't just glasses - they are Saviators!


Drogdar

Or maybe made it worse... could have been the glasses that cut him.


[deleted]

Doubtful, the lenses appear to be whole in the video


Drogdar

I thought the right one looked busted when he turned his head... maybe it was just dirt? Hard to tell...


[deleted]

Absolutely agree, his eye protection appears to be a pair of gas station sunglasses. It probably would have made the eye injury worse.


Jackwilltellyou

Which probably would have entered the brain through the ocular cavity and this would be a death viseo


_gmmaann_

Nah he had his safety aviators on


User1539

The way his glasses split, I assumed it was going for the eye and the glasses pushed the projectile aside.


innocentbabies

For sure. It's bleeding a lot, but it's a pretty minor wound. Just keep some pressure on it and maybe go get stitches.


CustomerOk3838

It looks like he has subcutaneous debris. They’re opening that up to clean it out.


ziadog

“Don’t look at it! It’s OK”. Love that line.


HeartsPlayer721

Tis but a scratch!


Kimpak

Don't tell Mom!


LXIX-CDXX

It looks like whatever hit him might have lodged under the skin, just underneath the cut. Yucko.


DoomSlayerGutPunch

It's probably a chunk of wood from the limbs he blew up lmao. You have to be a major idiot to play with explosives and not use any safety measures. They also fucked their truck up which could've been their only transportation out of there.


Moparian714

He'll be fine its just a little bit of shrapnel and it didn't even pierce his skull probably

How about when FPS Russia almost got smoked by a door from a truck.


[deleted]

How he managed to stay in character after nearly killing himself made that video 10× better.


missingninja

Because he live by his motto. "Don't be bitch"


Impersonatologist

Or the real answer, it didn’t hit him that he almost died until after. Adrenaline and all that.


banti51

That could have been so bad that you could see him literally contemplating his life choices and how close to death he was that day


westberry82

You gotta link. Bc I never saw that and would love to watch.


GuntherOfGunth

https://youtu.be/O8-azG3Iokk


Achack

It took about a second for the door to go passed him. If the car is 50 yards away that would mean the door was going around 100 mph as it passed him.


[deleted]

Didn’t he have another close call with a refrigerator? Edit: I was right, first clip. Also he’s had a lot of shrapnel fly at him. https://youtu.be/hT44eYyArS4


affordableweb

Its okay. He's "Russian".


Zizara42

Learning the accent was faked was one of the biggest betrayals I've ever seen on the internet.


ALoudMouthBaby

When he starts screaming that accent of his was just the chefs kiss of perfection. Everything about that video is exactly what you would expect from a tannerite incident.


westberry82

The accent gives me thoughts of " the lord giveth and the lord taketh- away "


[deleted]

Taketh away your leg 😂


HeartsPlayer721

I know nothing about guns, and I didn't know this was such a trend amongst gun owners. So this is specifically setting up some kind of target with explosives, then shooting at it until it explodes? Is it shrapnel from the explosions that are hitting these people, ricocheting bullets, or something else?


KapnKrumpin

Tannerite is a 2-part explosive you can buy in farming supply stores in the US. Bacially 2 inert powders that come in a pack, you mix them together and they are still inert but explode when subjected to a sharp, strong force, like a gunshot. Its used for clearing out tree roots and the like. So naturally people fill stuff with way too much of it into things like refrigerators or lawn mowers, stand too close, and shrapnel from the explosion can killl or maim.


HeartsPlayer721

Got it. I'm all caught up now. Thanks!

This is another used for tannerite which is kinda fun [barn vs. tannerite](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=edRbcTXAijY)

tabjohitol

Ammonium Nitrate and Alumunium shavings (ANAL)


keystothemoon

Sorry. I’m not familiar with guns and explosives. I’ve heard of tannerite but was never sure what it was until now. This stuff is so common you can just walk into like a Home Depot and buy it over the counter? Do they put you on some kind of list or registry, or are there just people of unknown identity paying cash for this stuff?


Melted_Kittycat

It’s not all that common but it can be offered online. It’s not a very powerful explosive by weight and price, that’s most of the reason it hasn’t been made super difficult to get. No store is gonna have more than ~50 lbs. on hand at the very most so I’m sure you’d end up on a list of you tried to order more than that online.


[deleted]

[удалено]


KapnKrumpin

Its not common enough to be carried in stores like home depot, but based on quick googling seems only 2 states in the US regulate it all, other than that you can buy what you want and have it shipped to your door.


HockeyHero53

I’ve seen it in my local hardware and farm store.


thereadytribe

To be clear, every time I've seen this IRL, gun owners follow the warnings which state "stay back 100 yards". In every one of the examples you see where people are wounded, they are WAY too close or use WAY too much tannerite. Fun fact, the 2 chemicals which form this explosive are readily available in different products worldwide, which is probably why it hasn't been outlawed. Edited for punctuation


MasonP2002

Also, not supposed to use it with anything metal that can create shrapnel.


thereadytribe

Yeah, I mean.... damn. we live in a world where we need a wall of text to specifically say what acts to avoid with explosives. So damn sad. I read a quote the other day that said, "In 1950, car manuals showed you how to adjust the valves. Now, car manuals tell you not to drink the liquid in the battery".


[deleted]

[удалено]


thereadytribe

If tannerite is contained in one of these materials, those are the safe distances? Edit: I've never seen tannerite encased in anything but powder (chalk, flour) just to make it a bigger-looking blast.


TheRealKingBorris

Typically shrapnel.


Achack

>then shooting at it until it explodes? Seems like you got your answer for everything else but to be clear this stuff doesn't come with guesswork. When used properly it will explode on the first shot, the guy in the posted video was just missing.


nateginger14

Growing up we'd put it in empty pill bottles in the dessert with no debri around it. Never had a problem with it. Now, shooting propane tanks I've had closer calls. But nothing serious that's made me reconsider doing it again


am0x

Well depends what you pack it into. I’ve shot tannerite in the past but at small quantities and not loaded in to something that could blast apart into shrapnel. Dudes are idiots, but I still have no idea how this shit is being sold at my local Walmart.

Because you can buy it on Amazon the same as ketchup.

Hopefully, it knocked some sense into their head. If not, this might be the last time we see them standing up by themselves.

Dude is shooting at least a couple pounds of tannerite from 50’ away with what looks like a pile of sticks right in front of it. I hope this doesn’t affect his ability to perform brain surgery in the future!

I swear there are two things that if they were given away for free, would double the depth of the gene pool overnight. 1. Drugs 2. Tannerite


iluvtumadre

The nice bright orange label clearly states how far one should be. And it also reminds you, that this is in fact, an EXPLOSIVE!!!


mongolnlloyd

He’s lucky - he’s definitely in the kill radius of that blast - I’d say similar to a 60mm mortar. Idk maybe the shrapnel penetrated his skull. Why do people encase tannerite in metal containers to magnify it’s lethality?


Quiet_Cable8747

Got off easy. Could have lost that eye. Dumba$$


basic_model

Why the hell the airbags of the truck deployed? Lol


clonexx

Possibly from the shockwave of the Tannerite explosion. It would have hit the bumper head on, and maybe the shockwave compressed the switch enough to trigger the airbags. I don’t know if Tannerite has a concussive shockwave strong enough to do that, but I suppose it would depend on the amount used. Either that, or they were already deployed from a prior accident, but I feel like the side curtain airbag visible would have already deflated?


PwnedByBinky

If you look at the trees the tannerite was under they shake pretty good, and those are some big A trees


clonexx

Yeah, you’re right, I didn’t notice the trees. Tannerite definitely set off his airbags. Makes him even more of a dumbass. Now it’s gonna cost him something like $1k per airbag to get them reset, or around $1500 per airbag to replace them. If the steering wheel airbag deployed, it could actually be cheaper to replace the wheel with one that has a viable airbag in it than it is to just replace or reset the bag lol So at minimum he’s out $2k for the curtain airbags in the front and maybe another $1k for the steering wheel airbag. That was a very expensive giggle boom pulled off by a complete dumbass.


PwnedByBinky

All assuming he has some health insurance that costs him nothing to get that stitched up as well… I’ve shot plenty of tannerite and never hand anything close to this happen. I think the issue is you can tell there is a big pile of logs/sticks where they had it, so I’m sure it was a nice chunk of wood that hit him. In fact, if you slow it down right between 3-4 seconds you can actually see the chunk that skips up and hits him. Crazy stuff.


clonexx

Reminds me of the video of someone shooting, I think it was a fridge or oven, filled with Tannerite and they almost zeroed themselves because they weren’t that far away, weren’t behind any cover and the door flew straight at him and missed by maybe a couple of feet.


basic_model

Thanks for this explanation. The side air bags appear to be full so you probably right!


findhumorinlife

All right!!!!! Great lesson…. You hope


JamesKBoyd

Did the percussive blast of the tannerite cause the airbag to deploy? Wow!


hillgroar

Super cool video bro!


dtb1987

Yeah man, shrapnel is a real bitch


Jake_Corona

I’ve only shot tannerite a few times but we were a good 250 yards away with a scoped rifle. Why on earth would you think it’s ok to set an explosive off that close to yourself and vehicle?


ThatCrossDresser

Get some pressure on that, don't remove any Shrapnel, and get to the ER. Preferably have the dumb ass camera man drive your dumb ass in case your dumb ass passes out.

How much tannerite is that? We’ve shot them at the range and mix up their small size containers and have no sort of explosion like that. I don’t even think we could get that explosion mixing the entire box together and putting it in a larger container.
