World's biggest Mouse Trap game

This is a 50,000 lb version of the Mouse Trap board game, complete with 400lb safe to crush the mouse! Seen here at the San Mateo Maker Faire 2008. Oh, and it's about as reliable as the board game too!

I had no idea why this simple video seems to have gathered so much interest after languishing on youtube for nearly a year, but PsychoNinjafeak (thanks) tells me it's because of the following review of the original game, so I will reciprocate here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZCplp_AtRo

Otherwise, if you're not familiar with the original game and want some further information try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_Trap_(board_game)

And for those of you moaning about the quality :
(1) Try clicking on the HQ button for a clearer picture;
(2) Please bear in mind this was taken with a small camera, at a distance, under poor lighting, from the middle of a jostling crowd.
(3) It was put on youtube as a bit of fun, not a definitive, high quality, documentary, so please give me a break.

13 year old girl pops out of THAT man's closet (he is age 34)

NO REALLY. THAT'S ACTUALLY A NEWS STORY.

@ytgv3fc7 Agreed, "MouseTrap!" :-)

Dude the quality sucks. This is not a very good definitive high quality documentary, like I was looking for.

[britsinsf]

@RockBanned - Thanks for taking the time to comment. I am sorry to disappoint you. Quality may be low because this was just a free fun piece of video I took at the time. Put it down to a possible maximum of 90 second of wasted time of your internet experience. Best of luck finding a mouse trap documentary...

This is how we should have killed the DC sniper.

[britsinsf]

or indeed commenting :-)

I don't think a mouse will stand still for 80 secs for it to work
