Just to clarify the Kentucky ballistic incident at the end of the video. Scott was shooting old ammunition known as "SLAP rounds" the last one of the day was overloaded significantly and caused an excess of pressure exceeding the ratings of the gun. Not caused by a lack of maintenance by him or a defect in the weapon. He is a former State Trooper and has many years of firearms experience and a great channel to watch even if you live outside the US like me.

That's a hell of an anomaly. If you'd asked me yesterday I'd've said I didn't think you could overload a round to the extent where a modern gun like that straight-up explodes in the user's face. Antique flintlock or WW2 rifle, maybe, but not something more recent.

@@Agamemnon2he did do a test with the RN-50 and more SLAP rounds, and the gun broke the same way once it fired one of the more "spicy" round, possibly the powder load is inconsistent between rounds. The typical .50 Cal guns are designed to handle quite a lot more pressure than the normal .50 Cal bullet can produce, but the RN-50, being that it's a single shot and only design to handle the regular bullet with some margin of overpressure in mind, it just blows up when he loaded it with SLAP round that's particularly spicier than the rest

That incident was caused by a reloaded round that either had way too much powder, or the wrong kind of powder, that caused an extreme overpressure within the chamber. The only thing he could have done to prevent it was not fire it, and he should have stopped after seeing the inconsistency in the previous rounds from the same batch. The firearm itself was perfectly fine and functioned normally, it just experienced pressures that were an order of magnitude higher than it was designed for, causing it to fail in a predictable manner. Multiple ballistics channels, including the manufacturer of the firearm, posted videos analyzing this.

Yeah, but I think that this incident just highlights how rare it is for us to see any significant injuries in league/ union. Especially since spear tackles were 'outlawed' in the 80s (or possibly the 70s).

@Raz.C So true. It just makes what happened to Alex even more heartbreaking. I have friends that play professionally, and the league is really trying to make changes, particularly with the introduction of the HIA. I guess what one of the issues is the height of the player. One of my friends is over six foot and constantly has to remember to pull himself up when he's tackling someone who is significantly shorter than him. But I guess when you choose to play professionally, these are the risks you face.

It was a nightmare and heart breaking seeing my son go through this at the beginning of it before he was diagnosed and medicated when he was 12. His episodes were literally every second of the day ,lasting over an hour and when he came through he was a runner and bolted out the front door, on top of temporary being a 5 year old mind . I had asked the neurologist if this was normal behavior and it was with some people, It was months of this. Once he was on antidepressants, it was a game changer. His NEE are pretty much gone, but when he’s extremely sick, extremely hot is when some will appear, and now once in while he’ll be actively awake and he’ll have full body tremors. He did get additional testing as his neurologist was concerned with his new symptoms ( sickness and overheating) and luckily it came back normal and he doesn’t officially have epilepsy. Some people when their mental state is affected, the brain reacts to stresses differently and causes the NEE.

Causing a huge over-pressure inside of the rifle, something like 90,000psi+, which in turn, caused the rifle to explode catastrophically, almost taking out Scott. He re-created the conditions that caused the rifle to fail, and it was...quite spectacular.

Yeah, I'd definitely watch an episode of The Checkup with Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. I had no idea about his channel or his accident, but the advanced first aid/first responder training he must have had from being a state trooper so clearly saved his life here, and I think a lot of people could learn a lot from his experience. I've trained on several WAFA/WFR courses and learned as much as possible to be medically competent in the back country, and watching him recount how he stuck a thumb in his neck to immediately staunch the bleeding took me right back to "apply well-aimed, sustained, direct pressure."

Kentucky is a scary story for sure. The firearm manufacturer is a mom and pop deal and it was cool to see Kentucky and them work together to figure out the forces involved and what happened. The detonation he withstood is amazing. As a shooter, one of my worst fears is squib with quick follow up shot equaling detonation. Ruined pistol and hands 😬

As they were passing a glass door, he turned around and kicked it. Glass shattered and a massive shard fell down straight in his leg. Amazing how quickly aggressive, fighting guy calms down... There he was sitting on a bench, glass shard partially submerged in his leg, waiting for the ambulance.

I have seen some nasty ATV accidents, which the prognosis afterwards showed very little possibility of motor functioning farther than some speech and head movements due to spinal involvement. Sometimes nerve injuries can see some drastic healing after safe handling, swelling goes down, and pt/ot come in early and safely. The examples I have seen of this were young or very healthy people, and it is always incredible to see/take part in the healing process.

Not sure if someone else mentioned it, the gun exploded because the ammunition had several times higher than normal pressure. The manufacturer sent him a new rifle. He shot the rest of the ammunition he had (by pulling the trigger with rope behind protection) and the pressure never went as high as when the accident happened. People theorized the cartridge of the accident was initially introduced into Iraqi black markets by US forces or left during withdrawal to sabotage the insurgents and was filled with explosives instead of gun powder but eventually made its way into surplus ammunition.

Coming from a combination of Scott (KYBallistics) and Mark Serbu (manufacturer of the rifle), based on the pressures needed to achieve the failure it did, the most likely situation was someone using the wrong type of powder. Most likely powder intended for pistol cartridges that burns MUCH faster than rifle powder, sending chamber pressures through the roof (literally) in a 50BMG cartridge.

Cal aka 50 BMG is an anti material round used in a wide variety of weapons that can take it and is considered a very powerful portable round due to its ability to punch holes in armored vehicles if concentrated enough in a spot and it can pack a lot of kinetic energy but its used mainly for long range shooting and busting bad guy heads behind brick walls, unfortunately that wasnt what scott was shooting, he was shooting an ammo type for 50. Cals called Saboted Light Armor Penetrator or SLAP his round was very hot as in it could result in the gun exploding and unfortunately there was no way of telling.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="350">5:50</a>, it's so true. When I was in college I was somewhat out of shape (cs major with no athletic interests), and had never gone to the gym. I wanted to get in shape, so I joined the 101 intro to gym class which was described as something to teach you how to use a gym properly and create your own workout routines. Showed up the first day and the instructor had us do some warmup exercises that had me a bit out of breath and feeling sore. Then he had us run TWO MILES AS A TEST. ON THE SAME DAY. Idk about anyone else, but I have never in my life ran two miles like that. I made it, but I nearly passed out and I was way behind everyone else. The next class session they had us doing some circuit training in a closed off section of the gym with everything all laid out. All of us were supposed to be doing the exact same routine. I seemed to be the only one struggling in the slightest. I threw up after that workout. I only made it through two weeks hoping they would split us up or have us customizing a bit because some of the people in the class were legit athletes, or even that i might start making progress, but nope. Had to quit. Needless to say, I never did get a good understanding of how to actually use a gym and have not stepped foot in a gym since. Beginner classes are wild.

The radiologist doing the MRI noted in his diagnosis that it is there, but the "patient experiences no symptoms". Which is funny cuz I hadn't gone there if I had no symptoms. My practical doctor and the orthopedist said it's not a slipped disc. The latter actually "cracked" me too relieve tension. It's been four years since and I still suffer from neurological problems. I was so glad to hear you say that it depends where the hernia is for symptoms to manifest. The only one saying that was my psychiatrist and by then, it was too late.

Normal .50 cals can normally handle overpressured ammunition unless it's a really badly made rifle (this one wasn't, it was a well made rifle). The slap rounds were more than likely within the tolerances for the rifle, but that specific round wasn't. It was a manufacturing defect in the round that made it have way more pressure than it should have, whether it be due to the wrong type of powder, or simply a lot more powder than it should have had.

Everyone talking about Scott (He's a genuinely great guy... Saw his vids, really useful info being put out, hats off for surviving such a critical injury) but there is also a video I saw just a month ago where a marine blew up an RPG IN HIS FACE... His surviving was even more baffling to me, as the entire thing just obliterated (unlike the compartmental damage the 50 Cal took, where it separated into multiple big pieces) The RPG just disintegrated, and it looked like a landmine explosion right to the face, (it was a practice range in a desert environment, so a lot of dust and dirt flew up and covered the Marine and the aftermath wasn't clear)... But thankfully he too had full protective gear like body armor, helmet, safety goggles, which probably dissipated the sharp fragments, and saved his life...

So, what happened with Scott from KentuckyBallistics, the round he was using was not well made (SLAP rounds, as another commenter mentioned) and so instead of the pressure being released when the firing pin hit the bullet, the pressure instead built up within the bullet without being fired. It literally exploded inside the gun, tearing it apart, starting with the blasting cap and then separating the grip and stock from the rest of the gun.
