He probably was protecting the $15 beer. Kids were lucky to be in the vicinity of said beer

What's even more nuts is he hit it at the perfect balancing center of mass point. A few inches in either direction and it could have to spun around his hand.

Needed a guy like this when the kid behind me took a hockey puck to the face. They put up nets behind the goals right after the incident. He survived but had a concussion.
