Unfortunately, so many of these hands on real life demonstrations have been removed from the class rooms these days. It was the explosions, smoke and electrical arcs that kept my attention and got me thinking. I am so thankful I had teachers that were able/allowed to do those kinds of demonstrations back then. There is a huge difference between watching a video and seeing it first hand. Kids these days are missing out.
As to the original video and body experiments (though that video was a demonstration) - I remember when Col. (at the time) John Stapp came and spoke at our school. He was the first man to ride a rocket sled out at Holloman AFB. This is a man that gave his body for science, experiencing more than 40g's to help advance ejection seat technology.
