Question for you

If it has even one more cup full of beer in it and it's my party, you get your a$$ kicked!! LMAO!! :sign:
 
What would happen if you throw a beer keg into a bon fire at a "keg party?"

You'd get to watch all the pretty colors...up close! :D



Oh - the colors would be ths stars you see after everyone beats your A$$!!! :laugh:
 
Two things, First depending on what type of tap is used, assuming the standard type, the rubber seal might melt causing rapid release of pressure. You might have a flying keg. Two, it would explode sending pieces of stainless steel everywhere. My concern would be the ball in the valve if both happened at once, you pretty much have a bullet flying out of that keg.

My take on it..

BOOM...

We have a winner!! Matt R.'s answer is also correct if the party was at his house.

This happened in Connecticut over the weekend and the result was one person was killed and at least seven others were sent to the hospital. I simnply cannot believe the fuggen STUPIDITY of some people. :rolleyes:

My ex-wife lives only a few miles from where this happened and one of her workers at the Vineyard knew the kid that was killed. Here's the news story:

One dead, seven hurt in explosion at New Milford party
By Nanci G. Hutson and John Pirro

THE NEWS-TIMES

NEW MILFORD – A 22-year-old local man was killed and seven others injured early Sunday morning in an explosion that erupted after a partygoer at a pig roast tossed a beer keg into a fire barrel.

Witnesses said the 3:13 a.m. explosion that killed 22-year-old Sean Caselli reverberated as far as a mile or more away from the Aspetuck Ridge Road festivities.

"It was an unbelievable explosion,’’ said New Milford High School hockey coach and neighbor Robert Greco, a physician’s assistant who rushed to the scene to offer assistance. "It rattled the street.’’

Caselli, who lived with his family on North Valley Road about a mile away, died after being struck by a piece of flying metal in the neck, police said.

Police said the other victims suffered burns and shrapnel wounds that were not life-threatening. They were taken to New Milford and Danbury hospitals. Police would not release their identities.

The party, an annual barbecue and pig roast, was hosted by Matt Johnson, the operator of a local tree service and the son of former Board of Education chairman Alexandra Thomas and her husband, Terry, who own a wilderness camp. Neighbors said Johnson has hosted similar gatherings in the past, and none have caused a problem. The barbecue was held in a rural area behind the house.

Police said all those who attended apparently were in their mid to late 20s and they had no reason to suspect underage drinking. Neighbors said that the music, provided by local band "Fast Ricky," was loud earlier in the night, but they didn’t find it disruptive.

Billy Babbino, a member of Fast Ricky, said partygoers had set fires in the barrels to keep warm during an evening when temperatures dipped into the 30s. He estimated between 50 and 100 people attended the event.

"This is a certain tragedy," said New Milford Police Chief Colin McCormack. "However, nothing I have been apprised of to this point in the investigation...indicates a deliberate act on anyone’s part."

Police did not release information on who tossed the keg into the fire.

Upon hearing the explosion, Greco and his son, John Michael, 25, who had been a guest at the party earlier, headed to the house.

Ambulance crews from New Milford, Sherman, Bridgewater and Washington were already performing emergency triage on the victims. Three were taken to Danbury Hospital and four others to New Milford Hospital.

Greco quickly learned there had been one fatality, the injury was apparently caused by a piece of metal that pierced Caselli’s neck – and several others had been burned or hit with shrapnel when the keg blew up.

Aspetuck Ridge residents Tom Dragone and his fiance Connie Smeriglio said they heard the music earlier in the night and thought it enjoyable. They even recognized a Steve Miller song.

But after 3 a.m. the couple "jumped out of bed’’ after hearing a loud explosion and the sound of frenetic screaming.

Dragone recalled hearing someone say, "Oh my God, what did you do?’’

As fire trucks and police arrived, Smeriglio said they heard people yelling that they didn’t need fire engines but ambulances. Smeriglio said there were people running through a field across the street and up the road. A couple of them were shouting obscenities into cell phones about what they had just witnessed.

Throughout the early morning hours, neighbors said they could hear a state police helicopter circling overhead, using its thermal imaging equipment to check the area and track anyone else who might have been hiding or in need of assistance.

"Scary,’’ Dragone said.

Police blocked off Aspetuck Ridge Road between Sand Road and Gregory Place through much of the day, fielding questions from residents who stopped to find out what happened.

"I felt my windows move,’’ said Putnam Drive resident Charlene Bohdan. "It was incredible.’’

Babbino, who left the party about two hours before the blast, said he’d been awakened from sleep by his worried parents, Bill and Fran, who live on nearby Adams Lane after they heard the explosion.

"This is just unbelievable," Babbino said. Wiping sleep from his eyes as television news reporters interviewed him at the road block on Sand Road, Babbino grimaced.

"It’s crazy that this happened,’’ he said, noting that Johnson asked him to play for a similar event a year earlier. "It sounds like a freak accident.’’
 
Survival of the fittest not a freak accident, if you toss a a keg in a fire it is sheer stupidity. Now if a keg fell out of the air and no one noticed and it landed in the fire without making a sound, that is a freak accident... Sheesh
 
Wow, I am surprised this hasn't happened more often. Can't be the first time some drunk college kid threw a keg into a fire.
 
This part really got me, the quote from the police chief:

"This is a certain tragedy," said New Milford Police Chief Colin McCormack. "However, nothing I have been apprised of to this point in the investigation...indicates a deliberate act on anyone’s part."

Okay brain surgeon, how was this NOT "deliberate?" Yep, I was just walking along with this empty beer keg in my hands and I accidently dropped it into a fire barrel. :rolleyes:

I hope the son of a bitch that did this goes to jail for a long time. :angry:

My thoughts exactly. I could not believe someone would have the audacity to call this a "freak accident." Absolute stupidity, recklessness and careless indifference. The jackass behind this needs to be charged and convicted p.d.q.

I don't know that I'd say survival of the fittest, unless the guy that got killed was the keg tosser. All indications from the story say that he was not the tosser and really an innocent bystander. :(

This was a reckless act that caused the death of another person. The tosser should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Anyone with half a brain knows what happens when you put a pressurized container to fire. :angry:

I can't believe they're not identifying the tosser.
 
I am implying the guy who got killed had to know....and didn't do anything about it along with the others who got hurt. I know if I saw a guy toss a keg in a fire, I would put the fire out or get the hell out of there, not hang out and watch the festivities. Now if they did not know I retract my statement..
 
Great... Now you will have to sign a sworn statement agreeing that you have read the warning against throwing the keg into the fire, before you are allowed to remove it from the store premises.

The can of butane I have sitting in front of me made me laugh when I read the warning of not smoking while filling the lighter, and I will certainly laugh when I read the warning label on the half barrel.

If Shane's prediction was correct and those injured were aware of the happenings, then I agree, Natural Selection Process. This is what we get because we as humans choose not to eat our young.
 
I remember when we used to fill beer bottles with charcoal lighter fluid and put them in the embers of the bonfires. It only tok a few seconds and WHOOSH!, you had a flamethrower at the edge of the campsite. Pretty stupid, but them so was drinking 24 beers and running around the woods like a werewolf....
 
Geeee... some of yall seem to think this was the upper etchelon of the gene pool. That keg didn't explode when first introduced to the fire... it took a little time and I assure you everyone there knew about it. I'll go as far as to say everyone there was probably hooting and laughing about it when it was tossed in. Of course that is speculation but....Lets see here... it was 3am in the morning... it was a keg party... participants were mid to late 20's... Temperture was in the 30's... :rolleyes:

I'll take all of that back if this kid was an inocent bystander who just happened upon this party out in the woods at 3am in the morning in the freezing cold.... :whistling:

Condolences to his family.
 
"This is a certain tragedy," said New Milford Police Chief Colin McCormack. "However, nothing I have been apprised of to this point in the investigation...indicates a deliberate act on anyone’s part."

Police did not release information on who tossed the keg into the fire.


Translation: The kid who did this is related to a "person of power" in the town.
