Breaking the Stay. Educational Bell Ringing Video

Please note: Any persons wishing to reenact anything they've seen in this video do so at their OWN RISK. I do NOT accept any responsibility for your actions after seeing this video. Prior arrangement and special permissions were given to make this video possible, and I'm extremely grateful to be able to show you all this demonstration. This video shows what happens when a Church Bell Ringer pulls too hard on their rope, and breaks the wooden stop mechanism (the stay). A synchronised, split screen has been provided to show real-time footage of this. I do hope this video is made useful to anyone learning to ring or as a teaching aid in general. Filmed, edited, and rung by Ewan Kaczanow Special thanks to the Exbourne Ringers, too!
