Cause of the accident, a sheered bolt caused by metal fatigue...
The other three people were campers who used a Coleman heater inside their camper during a cold spurt and suffocated from the fumes.
Friends who have attended Knob Creek over the years have told me that the range has really cracked down on safety over the years.

I look at my local machinegun shoot where you litterally have a RO standing next to you while you shoot(ready to grab the weapon and force it in a safe direction if they have to) and very strict rules for safty reasons (They have relaxed them since Buzzgunner first wrote them). When I watch video's at alot of shoots I see alot of people acting like idiots.
