That is the epitome of my luck.

Being blown sky high by your own weapon is never nice!

Abit like that nuclear mortar the US army created. The explosive range of the warhead was greater than the range of the launcher! So the crew and any men fighting nearby had to dig in deep, cover their eyes and pray. If they didn't become irradiated directly then they got it from wind born particles. Nasty....
