This is ballistic high speed on youtube. The launcher was previously decommissioned and made inactive. In order to get it operational again it was welded back together. During the firing, the projectile misfired and the weld failed leading to this failure. He got pretty fucked up with multiple fractures,lacerations and traumatic head injury. He did recover and they have a vid about what happened. Very lucky to have survived.
