Dozens of people have been injured in the annual ‘exploding hammer’ festival in Mexico. The event, which takes place every February, involves people attaching a mix of sulpher and chlorate to the ends of sledge hammers. They they smash the hammers against rail beams, making the substance explode and send up massive clouds of smoke.

These hammers are in the testing phase. The final phase will be used on the wall.

Holy crap! It looks like there’s a massive dent in the hard hat that was knocked off his head. How the hell is he still breathing?

Eating a Tide pod right before allows you to swing the hammer with more force, creating a larger explosion.

There's a gif from several years ago that looks worse than any in the video. The guy was sent flying several feet.

I've seen people do the exploding anvils in person. It is crazy, but at least they weren't holding onto them when it happened.

Something akin to that could easily be filmed in many backyards in the rural South.
