You're such a party-pooper, Chris! That's the problem with schools
today - no tolerance for generating large over-pressures in the
classroom. It aint science until you're bleeding from the ears and
half the school is swamping the ER, getting stitched up, and having
glass shards extracted!

The vast majority of the students not in the small enclosed space itself will totally
survive the demonstration, so what's the big deal?

I hear Gitmo's nice this time of year! ;-)
