Are we absolutely certain this was a case of Hold my beer, watch this?
Has anyone considered that the guy simply didn't know what he was doing?!
There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity.
Yes, one could argue that using gunpowder without the proper knowledge is stupid; that's semantics.
Many assumptions; what are the facts?

It's the internet and everybody is an expert on everything all the time, I get that.
IMO- dogpiling an injured guy nobody knows, here on a public forum, for an incident we have minimal facts about is, to me, ignorant & reflects poorly on us as fellow sportsman.

Nobody who shoots a gun should be ignorant about gun safety. He should have known what he was doing, and by the looks of the gun, he didn't. No excuses will change that.

That's EXACTLY why they should have NEVER introduced smokeless powders into muzzleloading. There are just WAAAAAY too many idiots out there to be able to make the sport idiot proof. For those of you who own smokeless powder muzzy's... I'm happy for you that you're still shooting and enjoying them. Personally, I think they should be banned and pulled off the racks wherever they're available. You wanna shoot smokeless powder, buy a centerfire rifle and keep smokeless powders out of the realm of muzzleloading...PERIOD.
Hopefully the moron that did this doesn't hire some high dollar lawyer that launches a campaign to eliminate all muzzleloading firearms because it's "too easy to get confused as to what powders can or cannot be used". And if it happens, a big thanks to all of you who support smokeless powders in muzzleloading firearms!!
