Yeah, it was like a tragic accident. The theory was solid. A circle is the strongest shape for holding force like that. And IIRC he just sort of lost his balance and the corner touched the ground and that was it. Trooper of a guy to pull most of it out before going to the hospital.
How do I even find this video anymore? Do the kids today even use limewire? It occurs to me, I’ve seen worse now.
I haven’t seen the video but I read the interview (equally gross), and it’s kinda like that. I don’t remember it hitting the floor but he admitted that it got a little crooked when it was going in, which was one of the main contributing factors.
Apparently he had done it before (and continues to do so) with no issue because he filled them with water first, so the density counteracted the tension.
IIRC, didn’t he sort of shift his weight and the corner of the jar hit the ground and that’s what made it break?
I’m not going to find it and watch it again, but that’s what I recall from never unseeing that more than a decade ago.
Ah you actually saw the video. Thank you. The jar breaking from contact with the floor sounds a lot better than it breaking completely inside of him 😬

Oh it broke inside him alright. The jar was over halfway inserted.

Also he was like 50ish when it happened.
