Oh my God, I can't laugh at that. It would be funny, in a Darwin Awards kind of way, if it weren't so tragic. I can see how it could happen. Lots of hobbyists here would be (or have been) unlucky in a similar fashion when pushing an electrolytic capacitor too far, either by over-voltage or reverse polarity. The wrong little piece of shrapnel in the wrong direction can do some damage. I guess that's kind of what happened to that poor guy with the lava lamp.
