[QUOTE="mindcrime, post: 1806553, member: 656"] Long story made as short as possible, as I pointed it downward to discharge it into the ground it detonated, "almost" blowing my right leg completely off.........only about 1 inch diameter of ligaments and tendons and skin held my lower leg on; dropping me instantly to the ground. It also blew my left calf in half. No one was around (LUCKILY, as my wife would have panicked and fainted), so I took off my coat to lay my right leg on it, and pulled myself up two stairs at the back deck; reaching up to open the sliding glass door, across the wood dining room floor, and the living room floor, and onto the carpet in our bedroom, to where my cell phone was charging on the bed stand to call 911. I had to take a Helicopter ride to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, TN, where I spent about 5 days. If I didn't have a strong upper body strength from years of Rock Climbing, there's no way that I could do it. Most people can't believe what I overcame, including the Sheriff's Department and the EMTs, but one does what they have to when pressed. :cool: Ps. I praise our Heavenly Father for me living, and keeping BOTH legs. [/QUOTE]
