Only because nobody was hurt do I find this amusing...

Given the number of people who are probably on staff with that show that dabble in 'physics', you'd think they would have considered the backstop for something like this.

Also, isn't there something somewhere that says something to the effect of 'be sure of your target and beyond'?  I recall reading that somewhere...

I would totally be ebaying anything that cannonball hit though.

Geez things like this happen from time to time...even at normal every day rifle ranges accidents happen and backstops don't always stop a round from ricocheting off something and going somewhere.

You ought to read the articles about it. That is discussed, however they may have elevated the barrel to load. In any case it was an unintentional discharge.

I seriously doubt we'll see the situation on the show given the time needed for the multitude of law suits they are going to get. It does fit Adam's saying, "failure is always an option".
