An FBI agent loses his gun doing a backflip on the dance floor. Watch as it goes off

A video shows an off-duty FBI agent dancing early Saturday at a Denver bar as onlookers crowd around, smiling and laughing.

But as the man performs a backflip, a handgun falls from his waistband holster onto the dance floor, a video obtained by KMGH shows. The agent scrambles for the gun, which fires as he picks it up.

The gunshot struck a bystander in the leg, police told The Denver Post. “He appears to have non-life threatening injuries,” Marika Putman, a Denver Police Department spokeswoman, told the publication. In a press release, police said the injured man had a "good prognosis."

In the video, the off-duty agent quickly holsters his gun as some patrons flee and others appear shocked and confused. He then walks off the dance floor with his hands up.

Bystanders getting shot accidentally is going to be much more common in Great America, I suspect.

Well,had a local Cowboy drop his 38 out of his waistband will digging out plumbing fittings from a display box. Not a thrilling site watching that damn gun spin on the Concrete floor three feet away. Yes there was a round in the chamber and five in the Cylinder,no safety on.

You just can not fix the Stupid.
