We need an eyes popping out HFS! Avatar for catastrophic failures like that! WOW!!! Glad I wasn't the one holding onto that firecracker!
My diagnosis is: catastrophic failure.
In seriousness, I would guess possible squib load and inattentive shooter. Devastation looks too complete for just a hot load, but I guess either scenario could be the cause.
I saw pics of another revolver that happened to, with ignition of adjacent rounds and all. Bet that hurt like hell, even without shrapnel. Lot of immediate downward force.
That was a feller over on gunandgame.com. He says it was a new gun he was trying out, using fresh factory ammo, .44 mag. Doesn't know if the gun was faulty or the round was overcharged, it was only the 2nd or 3rd round he'd fired. Got a decent gash on the forehead, so he said. Knocked him silly for awhile.

Wow, I'm glad he's okay though.

Thanks for the link Ron. Wow, are there some really mis-informed people on that site....
Sounds like the shooter did the right thing and took it to a smith to figure out what went wrong. The end of the cylinder chamber not being reamed to the right dimention and being too tight would definately kaboom the gun like that. The pressure would be worse than a double charge.
Ouch!! I'm willing to bet that guy needs a new pair of drawers...
Wow! I was going to guess that someone baked it in an oven.
