My son suffered no eye damage and the beam DID not go in his eyes regardless of what you think it looks like in the video. Relax....
Glad to hear it. I have just a few questions for you:
Do you receive any profit from people purchasing via LaserDIY.com? Even if not directly, but through advertising or referral? If you do, don't you think it is potentially unfair to redirect your fans to a hugely overpriced site (the value of those items is under $30), without mentioning that you get the money? I wouldn't be comfortable doing so myself. The price barrier does put off some people though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing either.
Do you not think that a youtube-based giveaway of 5 potentially blinding lasers, to anyone over 13, anywhere in the world, without previously emphasising the safety, is a good thing? Personally, I suspect that the demographic of your subscribers (and casual viewers) would be less responsible, on average, than the user-base on here. Just out of interest, are you going to ask them to sign anything to disclaim responsibility or refuse entry to anyone you suspect will be irresponsible?
Do you think that you are putting too much emphasis on getting your channel seen, heard, and profitable? To me, I get the feeling that you're tying to squeeze every last drop out of youtube that you can. Not that other youtubers don't, it just puts me off, personally.
I'd like to thank you for the warnings that you have put in place so far, and I'd hope that you continue to keep people fully educated about the risks in the future. A PHR looks dim (so people are off-guard and common sense doesn't tell you to be cautious) but has the potential for major damage, if someone is not completely aware that the light will blind them if they take a direct (or even reflected) hit. Likewise, continuing to show a laser beam in the direction of your son's eye can only reinforce this sense that it isn't harmful, which is definitely a bad message to send to your fans, regardless of whether or not your son was actually injured.
