I thought that was the guy from Smarter Every Day and was expecting a science lesson in there somehow. It's hard to call that a disappointment though.

It's more that people hate people who put their kids in danger. To be fair to the Dad in the original video, he didn't put his kid in danger. They explain how they produced the video at the end of it.
Someone then took this video and had the kid still there when the toaster oven explodes. He then flies off screen. Not gorey.

If the video is challenged on Youtube with a DMCA takedown process I've run into, the question of Fair Use is a reactive thing—you get notified that your video is suspected of violating the IP holder's rights, and you can respond by saying "fine, wevs" and not arguing, or you can fill out a form to argue for the reasonableness of your use, at which point it'll be reviewed and the takedown possibly reversed. Wether or not there's a good argument for Fair Use doesn't come into it at the beginning, because at the beginning it's usually algorithmic content-matching feeding into some automatic takedown process.
So maybe that happened here—auto match on the content, DMCA takedown sent—and then the account owner panicked or just didn't give a fuck and so deleted their account. Or maybe it was more manual, or maybe it was flags/complaints on the account or content, or...
Anyway, it's the sort of thing where I'm not sure there's much hope for a mirror since it's just a goofy little edit someone made, and so this is probably me commenting in a thread that I'm gonna have to turn around and delete? Okay!

A related memory: during basic training in my brief and not at all illustrious military career, they took us out onto the range to throw two live grenades each. One by one, they strapped the grenades onto our belts and led us out to the small concrete area where we'd be doing the throwing.
I was tired. I was hurting. I was half-hallucinating from the sleep deprivation. Let me tell you, though: nothing energizes and focuses attention even half as well as the sure and certain knowledge that if you fuck up in the next two minutes, you will die.

Sure, that edit's easy to see if you watch the grass in the foreground blowing.
The one I can't see is between the toaster oven sitting on a stump and the jar of Tannerite sitting on the stump all by itself exploding. They say they blew up the toaster oven but also show a distant shot of just the jar on the stump with Chase lining up to shoot it (5:41).
My other objection is the instructions given to Lincoln: when up close he tells him to let go of the handle, then toss it in the oven (which could knock the grenade & oven right off the stump), then when pretend actually doing it, he tells him to put it in the oven while holding the handle (a better plan, but not a good time to change things up).
