A part of the launcher exploded immediately, sending his helmet flying from the shock. Adam Knowles was knocked unconscious in split second.
A horrifying moment has been caught on camera that shows a remote propelled grenade (RPG) launcher exploding in the hands of a YouTuber during a failed test. The incident took place when Adam Knowles, also a US Army veteran, was shooting a video for the Ballistic High-Speed YouTube channel. Now recovering from the incident, he just watched the footage back for the first time. Mr Knowles informed the users that he is doing this for medical and educations purposes only.
The YouTuber said the devastating incident took place last month when the content creator was filming to assess "the dangers" of back-blast from a range of launchers.
