A Match Head Bomb Made Up of 6,000 Match Heads Is Ignited and Filmed in Beautiful 2,500fps Slow Motion

In a recent video by The Slow Mo GuysGavin Free and Dan Gruchy ignite a match head bomb made up of approximately 6,000 match heads and film the resulting explosion at 2,500fps with two slow motion cameras. Free and Gruchy warn not to try this at home, particularly the part where Gruchy leans over the lit bomb to see why it hasn’t exploded yet.
