50 cal ricochet!!!!!

[JustOneMore]

I copied the story below from the website of one of the people involved. I can tell you this much Iwould have my pants!!!

Willie fires a .50BMG, an Armalite AR-50 and it ricochets off of a steel plate that it should have easily penetrated. The bullet comes straight back and hits him in the head. You can see it hit the dirt about 15 feet in front on him before it clobbers him. Luckily he was uninjured. He's a bit sore today, but otherwise fine. Lucky lucky bastard. He has been advised to buy lottery tickets while he still has so much luck. I don't know about the timing, but you can hear the hit on the steel plate. Time that till the impact on Willie's head... how fast is that 750 grain slug traveling? The range is 100 yards. Amazing.

what do you think caused the ricochet? If it did bounce off the plate could it have been a faulty load? Just kinda curious
