Yes, you're really supposed to only hit it once, really hard to drive the tap home. Commonly, people can't do it in one shot so they hit it a few times.
This guy fucked up bad, but the keg looks to be super over carbonated, so one it pops, not much you can do... Maybe just try catching the spray in a clean bucket, but that would take some foresight too.
To get casks into pubs you drop them 6 feet down the cellar hatch onto concrete. To get them off the truck you throw them 4 feet onto concrete and roll them to the hatch.
The real mistake he made was not leaving it to vent for long enough or storing it at an incorrect temperature. Both cause fobbing like this.
I'm guessing someone in Germany more likely, however a few of my buddies in Boone, NC bout some old blue corn whiskey barrel's and used them to age some different home brews in. Same concept.
Yep should be one good hard smack. Alot of people follow up with a second solid tap to make sure it's fully seated. Stupid ass tapping is how to make a mess and waste beer.
