A young bartender is suing Newcastle’s Bar Beach Bowling Club after he lost his arm in an explosion there almost 4 years ago.

Jye Parker was helping to set up a beer keg in the cool room at the club in October 2014 when the blast tore off his left arm.

The Telegraph reports the 27-year-old is suing the club and Carlton United Breweries, saying they breached their duty of care.

He says the over-pressurised keg ruptured because it didn’t have a gas regulating device fitted.
