I assume he was focused on doing the experiment he (and dozens of other people) lost sight of the consequences.

As we say in America: “Hold my beer.”

Edit: Or more charitably, they underestimated the consequences.

Pretty much the latter.

This wasn’t Jackass, it was a science programme and he was the resident engineer. In theory he knew what he was doing but underestimated the risks and paid the personal consequences.
