Sciencenter Showtime! Presentation Mousetrap Cascade (explosion from above, in reverse)

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.

If things worked this way, this would have been the easy way to set up the mousetraps.
