NSFW... NSFW... NSFW...
Zip ahead to 2:15 and watch carefully.
My conservative guesstimates are (1) the refrigerator was 50 yards away, and (2) the door covered that distance in no more than 2 seconds.
50 yards * 3 feet/yard * ½ seconds * 3600 seconds/hour * 1 mile/5280 feet = 51.1 miles per hour.
And that is a conservative estimate.
That door would have killed him if it hit him.
It might have killed him (~50% change of lethality) even if it hit the tree first.

I never understood the fascination with doing stuff like this. I get it if one is experimenting and testing for some application. But just for fun? I don't get it.

Like that time FPS Russia blew up a truck only he was closer with a much closer call.
They sell tannerite in gun stores here in California. But it's illegal to mix and use. I'm conflicted about it. If somebody wants to remove themselves from the gene pool that's their right. Setting public land on fire and leaving scraps of appliances all over the place is not cool though.

Assuming flight time was 1 second from blast to shooter, it was moving roughly 102.3mph. 1/2 second = 204mph.

As I once heard,

I saw the video elsewhere. Dude is very lucky.

I have a former coworker who was shooting the .22LR version of tannerite. It fell off the target so he went downrange and picked it up. It blew up in his hand and mangled his hand.

Can't find it now, but I watched a video of some knucklehead shooting a tannerite filed lawnmower that sent shrapnel back and severed the shooter's leg.......now that's a pant load of fun right there.
