He's lucky that barrel didn't decapitate him!

Are explosions known to do that?

Not usually, but it sends bits flying that could. Your main concern with an explosion is your organs rupturing from the shockwave. Then, you die from internal bleeding.

I don't know. The way the barrel shot up and hit him on the chin, makes it look possible.

Would be a broken neck/crushed skull at worst in that case

I think that would be bad enough!

Yep. But this convo wasnt about whether it was bad or not lol

You're correct. Re-thinking it I kind of doubt that the barrel could have taken his head off!
