Must be trying for the Darwin awards

Probably some stupid Whitworth sized nut that no one has a wrench for over here...

Sounds like a close, very close candidate for the Darwin award for a near miss.

Complete nutcase! Anyone should be able to figure out that a shotgun is completely the wrong calibre for this kind of work...

...Glock 9mm would have been a far better bet.

It was probably a left hand thread, so a Punt Gun would have been much better. The 12ft barrel would have minimised his injuries perhaps, as he'd be that much further away.

That'll teach him for not wearing a high-vis jacket, and a hard hat.

Only in America!
