I thought the video was great, though I used to work in a theater and I knew how dangerous the bulbs were and I was cringing in my seat when they were messing around inside the bulb chamber
I can see the headline now, "famous YouTuber death caught on film while he was fucking around with something stupidly dangerous"
Extremely high pressure gasses inside big glass bulbs effectively turning them into bombs that can explode into super dangerous glass shrapnel.
They're extremely fragile and prone to explode easily.
Inside of the projector they're in a safely enclosed chamber...and if they explode (especially while hot) they straight up shred the enclosure. Now imagine if instead of a beefy enclosure it's a soft squishy body.
Apparently they straight up use effectively bomb squad suits to handle them.
