That's the one where he has said it was not staged, if I'm not mistaken. According to comments here https://old.reddit.com/r/ElectroBOOM/comments/7gnt46/that_ja...

The Amp hour podcast interviewed him, and he confirmed that that wasn't staged; he considered leaving it out since it was legitimately dangerous.
