Ah yes, that's a classic bit.  I remember playing it through the second time
and putting a satchel charge up there (I think I was using weapons cheats)
on the boxes of high explosives, then climbing back down and detonating
them...

Of course the Barney died instantly, and his bloody skull came skittering
past my feet.  But the truly funny part was that concurrent with the
explosion and his death, the sound effect for him saying "Hey!  Be careful
with that!" was triggered - and was still playing as his skull slid by!
