Hi Everyone,
I recently ran across a video on Youtube by Gregstoner1369 showing what I think is a pretty irresponsible demonstration of a laser, a 175mw Aries by LaserGlow. At the end of the video it states ¨Video by Senkat.¨ Now, I´m not sure it´s the same Senkat on this forum, and hopefully we can clear this up here. Apparently I don´t have the authorization to post links here, but if you search youtube for a 175mw Aries Laserglow titled ¨Laserglow Aries 175 Balloon Massacre¨ you´ll see what I mean.
1) Neither party in the video has goggles on.
2) The beam is being pointed in the direction immediately facing a reflective aluminum ladder with unpredictable angles of reflection. The guinea pig is the laser operator´s daughter. She´s holding the balloons that are being popped. The subject, the daughter, is facing the aluminum ladder.
In my view, this is a great way to raise the likelihood of serious eye damage. Anyone agree? Disagree?
