You mean standing in front of the barrel while loading it?  Natural selection.

I am wondering if they even owned the cannon or if it was "borrowed" and at a park some where.......

It appears that the cannon has been kept out doors the wheels are in such bad shape they are zip tied together.........

why load it in the dark of night?  There is more going on with this one than meets the eye.

Here's another one to add. Even though it looks like a piece of junk.

That last cannon looked like someones imagination of a cannon. Wheels were kind of hokey. Barrel looked kinda thin. The explosion consumed almost the entire barrel. It looked like it was designed to blow up.

IT WAS!  looks at the debris from the barrel, it was made of PVC pipe!  you see black peices with white edges and white inside laying on the ground.

If you listen to the audio, the kid says the "mold" for casting the cannon was borrowed/stolen from "The Smithsonian." Yeah right!

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Imagination or not, it sure illustrates the danger involved with improper construction.
