Yeah that was the one you linked to initially and it's comedy goddamn gold

    I wonder if their was enough of a pressure difference that the sudden pressurization of the chamber housing the lever arm did some damage.

Look. That "factory" video you linked to? The Zimmery one? (more Clint Mansell, tbh) 32 seconds in. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Either (A) they foleyed in some whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh to sound more awesomer because their GoPro was actually in reasonably hard vaccuum where there isn't any sound (certainly no high frequency) or (B) fucker weren't in vacuum dawg.

Goin' with B.
