Help Adam Knowles Recover from Disaster after Educational RPG Video

Created December 1st, 2023

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.

I don’t know who he is. I do realize people risk a lot to bring people information and entertainment. This reminds me of Kentucky Ballistics 50 blowing up on him but much worse. I hope for a speedy recovery, his family is well and he’s back on the line soon.

Done give up on recovery dude, nerve damage in particular sucks. It takes the longest to heal of anything, I know from experience of sustaining nerve damage from an injury almost 6 years ago. Just keep pushing through whatever your recovery looks like from a therapy standpoint, and every day it gets a little better.
