This video was sent my way by Cyberclinician Rhodri Marsden, and is already a viral hit. What amazes us both is that if we can grasp the simple physics of the situation and spot what's going to happen right from the start, why can't they? It's about as unpredictable as Titanic.

Nobody seems very concerned. A stunt for the camera?

Man, that's the first thing anyone ever says when anything remotely unusual is posted on the internet. "Fake!"
I think the muted, slightly embarrassed response is as good an indication as any that the whole thing is magnificently real.
