Knob Creek Injury
Folks are saying there was a pretty serious injury at the machine gun shoot this year. Seems a stunt went wrong.There’s a video on youtube (not for the squeamish – you were warned). I think I’d just stick with shooting the machine guns if I was there.

Ouch. Hope that guy recovers.

At least he was moving. Still, not a good place to be.

Anyone want to post a thumbnail description for those of us behind a Firewall of Idiocy that blocks YouTube (among many randomly chosen others)?

Thumbnail description (as I saw it)
Stunt gag, stuntman in car that gets blown up, big fire, etc. Stuntman runs towards crowd to be put out, all planned.
Not planned: large chunk of shrapnel flying into crowd at bottom left of video, both filmed and apparent injuries.

Video’s already gone. I saw the headline, and was thinking maybe you poured yourself a drink and cut yourself with the bottle, or something. Wasn’t expecting something like this…

The machine guns are the fun stuff… who’s bright idea was it to have “stunt entertainment” at a machine gun fest???

Tracy: ditto – what do you need a stuntman for when you have working happy switches?
