    IIRC, didn’t he sort of shift his weight and the corner of the jar hit the ground and that’s what made it break?

    I’m not going to find it and watch it again, but that’s what I recall from never unseeing that more than a decade ago.

      Ah you actually saw the video. Thank you. The jar breaking from contact with the floor sounds a lot better than it breaking completely inside of him 😬

        I haven’t seen the video but I read the interview (equally gross), and it’s kinda like that. I don’t remember it hitting the floor but he admitted that it got a little crooked when it was going in, which was one of the main contributing factors.

        Apparently he had done it before (and continues to do so) with no issue because he filled them with water first, so the density counteracted the tension.

        Also he was like 50ish when it happened.
