The video explores the capabilities of Everstick, a product designed to hold objects in place using vacuum seals. Connie and her team test Everstick at an amusement park, subjecting it to extreme forces. First, they test it on the Gravitron, which exerts 3G forces similar to those experienced by astronauts. Despite these forces, Everstick holds firm. Next, they challenge it on a free fall ride, simulating the deceleration of a car braking at 55 mph. Again, Everstick proves its effectiveness, maintaining its grip throughout the tests.
