How NOT to do it.


Ransom

Recommended Posts

Here is the description of how a young man killed himself while working with a black powder gun. Be glad this poor guy wasn't a member of your group...or, maybe it would have helped if he was, and he'd have learned proper safety, and still be alive.

From the Darwin Award list...Where people take themselves out of the gene pool by doing something incredibly stupid.

A cigarette lighter may have triggered a fatal explosion in Dunkirk, IN. A Jay

Countryman,

using a cigarette lighter to check the barrel of a muzzle loader, was killed

Monday night when

the weapon discharged in his face, sheriffs' investigators said. Gregory David

Pryor, 19, died

in his parents'

rural Dunkirk home at about 11:30 PM. Investigators said Pryor was cleaning a

54-caliber

muzzle-loader that had not been firing properly. He was using the lighter to

look into the

barrel when the gunpowder ignited.

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.
