I've watched this happen to a friend at a laser show conference. Long before Youtube.


Here is a great video of a fiber failing.

Thanks to the folks who put THAT on youtube. Beautiful!!!


When I saw this happen, It was NOT fun running along a hotel wall trying to put the jacket fires out.

Awesome. Pity thats a failure becuase its a great effect.

Imagine if you could string fibre round a venue then send those chases down the fibre.

Great soundtrack as well - The Prodigy.

its happened to me on a jacketed fiber, melts right through the kevlar and outside jacket, can start a fire and smells real bad...cool video
