    Check out his videos. If anyone knows how to properly calculate pressure for any application, it’d be Hyperspace Pirate. I agree this idea is silly and unnecessary (as he acknowledges himself), but it’s done safely. He’s done many projects more dangerous than this.

        I’d give him credit for explaining (frequently) how dangerous what he is doing is… and frankly his willingness to quite literally showcase what the result of the badness can be.

        Too few channels do either. And there’s some wildly dangerous shit posted daily that is over-edited and rarely even touches on the very real dangers of what they showcase. It gives the illusion of safety to people who likely don’t understand the science / risks.

        So? He is a hobbyist who documents his projects, he isnt advocating that people do all the same stuff he does. People have accidents all the time, it doesnt negate their intelligence.

          I’m not saying this guy is too dumb

          I’m saying half the internet is too dumb for this and people with zero knowledge and experience will try to replicate this and die

            Mythbusters was awesome, did far more dangerous home made stunts and broadcast to a wider audience than this guy.
