Yes everyone was fine except the ceiling which is the white stuff you see falling at the 15 sec mark

You guys just need to add a kill switch and use gloves.
Yes it was 3M tape and if I would have been there or the safety captain there would have been a kill switch and no one holding it in place it would have been properly mounted so no need for gloves

I wanted to post this so teams could see some of the dangerous things that could happen. Plus how rare is it to not only video it happen but to have it in slow motion
