Sciencenter Showtime! Presentation Mousetrap Cascade (explosion from above, normal speed)

Dr. Luke Donev set off 500 mousetraps armed with over 1,000 ping pong balls at the Sciencenter in Ithaca, NY. Museum visitors watched in awe as a single ball triggered the cascade, and then discovered the physics behind it.

Here we see the cascade of mousetraps from above. It's easier to see how and when different traps were set off.
