I don't understand what happened...a 25 pund bin? Was it a big metal trashcan or something? And he "headed" it? What does that mean? He tried to head it like a football?

Bins can be pretty heavy, he was possibly drunk or just having fun and sounds like he decided to head it like you would a football yes

Unfortunately the poor guy clearly underestimated the weight of the bin and now a child is without his father.

Sad times indeed.
