Sciencenter Showtime! Presentation Mousetrap Cascade (explosion from above, slow motion)

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, but slowed down to facilitate tracking individual events.
