Some people like to live dangerously – so much so that they nearly get themselves killed by shooting a refrigerator filled with binary explosive.

A video posted on the internet shows a man firing an assault rifle at a refrigerator stocked with Tannerite.

Tannerite is a widely sold exploding target specially geared toward gun owners.

The man is shown aiming what appears to be an M-16 at the refrigerator, which is positioned at least 50 yards away. He then fires a shot at the refrigerator, which is torn apart by the explosives inside. Unfortunately for the shooter, the force of the explosion sends the door of the fridge (circled on the left) screaming toward him

Unfortunately for the shooter, the force of the explosion sends the door of the fridge screaming toward him.

Luckily for him, he was standing behind a tree.

The fridge door flew by the left side of the tree as the gunman nervously stepped toward the right side of the tree.

The video went viral, generating over 235,000 views on YouTube.
