The title of this thread should be "Flywheel doesn't explode, no one injured, and no video."

Paused at the perfect moment to get this shot.

I wonder what true speed the ball bearings ejected at. I’m purely guessing i believe they were under enough momentum to end this dude if they headed towards and connected anywhere above the waist. Look how many there were inside that tube. Oiled buckshot
