Shame on the guy with the goggles when he lies to the teacher about having his full face shield on.
It’s a good thing nobody got hurt though.

That made me jump right out of my skin! The mold should have been hot too, which is why it popped.
if the mold was wet or have trace of humidity on it it explodes like that
What exactly *did* happen?
Like Belchspeak said, the mold should have been hot too otherwise you get that rapid expansion ‘pop’ effect, a bit like if you put a stone cold tray in a hot oven sometimes you’ll see/hear the tray flex as it heats up superfast. Kind of like the effect of pulling a sheet tight suddenly from each corner, whatever is on the sheet will leap in the air!!
Oops “it’s all on camera”.
Is that a D in the course?
@Doug
It was a spanish project, and we got an A, but we had to edit the part when little mishap happened.
Idiots. Obviously failed basic physical science…and common sense. Not wearing a full face shield? Safety fail!
Why the hell wasn’t there an adult supervising you dumb kids, you’re lucky it didn’t burn a hole through your face.
