twister: I've seen people deal with cholla cactus segments many times and a couple have been a bit tenacious, but normally they aren't too difficult to disengage. Clearly the guy in the video is over-dramatizing for the sake of gaining audience attention. He overdoes it a bit and seems like a bit of an idiot, but I'm sure most of his audience are completely clueless. The video has over 8 million views and over 56k thumbs up and so it's obvious that there's no shortage of stupid YouTube viewers!
