More than likely to gain distance from an attacker.
Still the dumbest video that I've seen besides politicians. I'd like to think their faces are blurred because they aren't Russians and are Americans doing stupid stuff.

Damn, wonder how many "OOOPPPS's they end up having doing that crap.

Even under the best of circumstances, there are still equipment malfunctions/defects or fliers. Nobody is a 100% perfect shot all the time. If true, this seems like a terrible waste of life and merely an advanced form of Russian roulette.
As they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I don't want to see the bloopers/out-takes...
That being said, while this is waaaaayyyyyyy far past 'safe' training, it is interesting that some folks think they'll suddenly perform at peak levels 'in the real' world if they've only ever done square range drills strictly adhering to the 'no one forward of the 180' rule. Should anyone ever find themselves in a for real 'feces striking the oscillating electric wind generator' situation...there will more than likely be 'innocents', err... hang on, gotta put on my 'Operator' persona... 'Non-tangos' down range.
Around the 2.18 mark in this video, purportedly of US training, you can see a 'hostage' very close to a badguy target being engaged (IIRC, this used to be much better with AC/DC music):
That being said, probably the most renowned instructor I've trained with, who trains a lot of 'Operator' types, put it pretty well [paraphrasing]: Under conditions of stress, at best, you're 1/2 as good as you are under non stress. Meaning if you normally shoot a 1" group, under stress, you'll shoot a 2" group. I guess, however, 'stress' is subjective. If you're doing these things 'for a living,' after some time, it might become less 'stressful' for those types of folks. It would have to...you don't want somebody becoming flustered every time a door squeaks. Sorta like a professional race car driver probably sips lattes doing things at speeds that would scare the pants off most.
As to the round(s) in the dirt, probably only advisable when you're actually on dirt/soft ground...so maybe not the best training practice.
I'd post the 'How to be Tacticool' video, but that's definitely NSFW material...
In any event...discuss...

I am confident that I will never try that "drill" , ever....
I have taken many a difficult shot....sometimes , just for fun , a few times in the hunting field...many times on the battlefield , 'cause I had to...
These experiences have shown me that good shooting is made from skill , practice of said skill and luck.
Videos like those shown in the OP and the moron's who "star" in them...do not help at all with promoting the image of gun owners being safe and responsible.
