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.

Also he was like 50ish when it happened.
