DISCAIMER; This channel nor I, do not condone using explosives of any kind at any time. The stunt depicted in this film was performed many years ago by a professional stuntman for the purpose of entertainment. Do not attempt to blow up a box of any kind unless you are a licensed explosives expert, especially if you are inside the box.

This film was shot most likely in the mid 1950s. Depending on the source he was known to have used 2 and sometimes 3 sticks of dynamite. In this film it looks like he is using 2 sticks and while again, in this film he is billed as the "Dynamite Demon", he is also known as the "Human Firecracker" and has also called himself the "Human Bomb". Another of his death defying acts included jumping from a platform that was suspended 150’ in the air, then, douse himself in gasoline, and set himself on fire, then he would dive into a 6’ pool of water. He performed all over the country. Leo Simon made his home in Florida at El Jobe_An Florida where he owned a hotel named the Grand Hotel and Fishing Lodge and a small café called the Bean Depot Café.
