Nobody hurt, insurance will pay for property damage/repairs, Alameda County apparently not pissed at Adam and Jamie so.........it's all good and will make for great footage if they air them going "OH S*%T"!

Considering all the shit they have done and to have only one really MAJOR fuckup is a pretty good track record in my mind!

I agree.... they've always been very meticulous about safety and the like when doing dangerous things like this, and the fact that they only had this happen kind of speaks well for them.

still, It must had freaked them out hardcore to see this happen. I mean, they were just out in the range and there was nobody around but them for miles. I'm sure they didn't even think this could happen.

It wasn't for miles
The cannon ball only went 700 yards. Which is about the maximum range for civil war era cannons IIRC...

The odd thing was the way it bounced over the protective berm (large earthen embankment), as with a properly built and designed berm this shouldn't be possible :/
