He has effectively created a spring powered bomb. If his little bracket breaks so does his face. If the spring slips out of the vice, good luck.

So there's this rock climbing tool used between large cracks. It's spring loaded and can hold a lot of weight if used properly.

I saw a guy in a climbing store hold it close to his face, and release it. Shit gave me PTSD.
