Is it just me or do these videos always start with an egregious safety faux pas? To open the video we have a guy standing under a giant 2000 - 3000 lb casting / steady rest... Fortunately we see him in later scenes. Fate tempters don't always enjoy the same outcomes. There's no slo-mo when something like that breaks loose and falls, but I guess the upside is the death would be fast...
