Sciencenter Showtime! Presentation Mousetrap Cascade (normal audience view)

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.

This short clip shows the explosion in real time from the point of view of the audience.
