On November 13th, 2023, Adam experienced a catastrophic misfire during a RPG launch while filming an educational video series. There was a mishap, causing it to explode on his shoulder. This had him airlifted to the hospital with third degree burns on about 10% of his upper body, a broken jaw, a fractured skull, face and chest lacerations, several pieces of shrapnel in his body, and long term nerve damage in his face.
Adam Knowles is a recent veteran after spending some time deployed in the U.S. Army. One of his goals after returning home was to educate and entertain his fellow citizens about the interesting world of firearms, as well as the dangers.
Multiple skin grafts, stitches, and other surgeries later, Adam is left with an enormous medical bill of almost $300,000, especially after the helicopter ride, and the weeks spent in the hospital in order to get back on his feet. I am hoping to do everything I can to help him and his family recovery as much as possible, physically, mentally, and financially. So far, insurance has only covered about 2% of the total.

Reply from Adam Knowles11 months agoDonald, this is INSANE. You have no idea what this does for me and my family. I can't even believe this. Thank you, just thank you I am at a loss of words
I'm an US Marine and I first heard about this incident in December ish time frame. Adam, you are one tough son of a b*tch. I know $50 isn't much but I want to try to help a fellow brother in arms out. Though, I'll probably end up donating more in the future though.
Reply from Adam Knowles11 months agoThank you so much Christian. It is a lot. Everything that has happened is insane right now. Thank you.
