Why would anyone lay down like that and further why would they be taping it? I think the whole thing was staged.

I totally agree with len. That totally has to be staged or edited. Of course this does not mean that it is OK not to safety your fixtures.

Can someone tell me what it shows... my company's firewall is blocking the site
(Which may be a good reason to consider it suspicous)

My school's firewall is blocking it also. I second that.

The, blurry, poor-quality video shows a man mounting a 6"Fresnel-sized light vertically from a stirrup upright on a jib arm about five feet off the ground. Once he lets go of the light, he lays down on the ground beneath it, and it pivots downward and falls off the spud onto his chest.

No doubt faked, and not even funny. Not nearly as good as this one, (fake also).

Sorry to have to be the one to break this to you, midgetgreen11, but acceleration due to gravity is a constant, ~32 ft/sec^2.

Fake?? You mean that when lighting a TV studio set, a spun aluminum PAR isn't the first instrument you'd reach for?? :-P
