Sciencenter Showtime! Presentation Mousetrap Cascade (all three views in 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, all three views - bird's eye view, mouse eye view and audience view - are shown simultaneously in slow motion.
