How unfortunate this man was, I suppose it could have been his life, but still a tragic accident.
For the amount of kegs that have been opened in Oz over the years I have never heard of this happening before, exploding beer bottles yes but never kegs. Be interesting to hear how it occurred.
Good thinking to the chef turning the kitchen gas off in the kitchen before he evacuated.
Not sure what they use these days John, I was thinking the metal ones the used after the wooden barrels....

It wouldn't be appropriate to comment specifically on that incident and there is little in the report anyhow, but why I asked is that sometimes the 'odd' failure follows a change in design, material or build process. A new entrant in the game, maybe.
Sympathy to the injured and family.

Possibly, I suppose all will be revealed in due course. Sympathy to the victim and his family also.
