. . . but I laugh out loud at the end.

A hammer with explosives strapped to it.

What the hell are they hitting?

Not sure which video you were talking about. But looked to me like a meeting of Darwin Award candidates. :D

Not sure, but the term "petard" comes to mind.

Now that I think of it, so does "retard."

They seem to be strapping explosives to a sledgehammer, then strking a metal plate to ensure a good, clean detonation.

Tryouts for the next "Jackass" movie?

Was this a competition, a protest of some odd sort, or just a bunch of assholes?

I suppose besides a "good, clean detonation," the plate may also serve to keep whatever it is on top of (concrete, perhaps?) from turning into potentially lethal projectiles.

SO it is some sort of OSHA requirement then...

Well, I did notice that many were wearing respirators of some sort and heavy gloves. I'll bet there's even some steel-toed boots being worn as well.

ETA: I'm not sure that they're on concrete, so the plate might just serve as a solid and flat place to strike, improving chances for complete detonation.
