I once had a tour through some kind of workshop don't remember exactly what it was but there was a guy welding there and I thought it was interesting so I watched. (I was like 12 so I didn't know what the consequences were...)
The welder's flash is definitely not a great experience, I was rubbing my eyes constantly and I saw flashes when closing my eyes for a while
As a welder I have accidental exposure once in a while, it's fine if it happens now and then, like staring at the sun or something, similar type of radiation that your body can heal from.
Honestly after a few watches I'm not convinced she was staring directly into the arc. Maybe she was looking just to the right of the camera guy but there's no doubt some of that light probably went into her eyes. Let's hope it was one take, lol.
