[NSFW] language toward the end.

One of those "D'oh!" moments.

Looked to me like they had loose powder spead out to about the size of a saucer flat on the table. I call "set up for the shot".

Yup. Whoops!

Heh! Reminds me of the time my mom went to put her cigarette out in the ashtray my brother was using to do something with his black powder. Hilarity (on my brother's part) ensued. Mom was not amused.

Might have been a good time for eye pro also?

BP guns exposes and highlights the users stupidity. I walked off a range after an idiot started loading loose BP while his cigarette was hangout of his mouth.

For sure. Also looked like he was standing too far back from the bench. Lots of lessons to be learned.

See, that is the wrong answer for me, personally. Maybe it's the old Platoon Sergeant in me, but why would you walk away from someone doing an unsafe act on the range instead of calling a cease fire and correcting them? Maybe, he spaced it and wasn't thinking, maybe he truly didn't know better.

Guy in the original posted video did have an open box of Pyrodex pellets sitting on the bench that he shot over. They were all lucky it wasn't worse. SMH.

I informed him smoking was not allowed on the range (rules state so), he told be to **&^^^^%, I had my young son and he had two other idiots, so I walked away.

In that case, Sir, I hope he earns a Darwin award.

That's when you snap a picture to send to the board.
The press uses Darwin to paint us all as bumbling fools, who shouldn't be trusted with guns.

Brand new to the range, way before I was on the board. Besides he had mounted a scope on his Hawkin, wasn't that punishment enough?

You know I'm not being critical of you, my friend. Just what I hope is a good suggestion for others.
I knew it was a long time ago, your boy ain't young anymore.

Never thought otherwise, yup the boy isn't that young anymore, spent New Year's Eve with the boy's daughter, my beautiful granddaughter.
