Bits and bit pressure--with video

ETA: (concurrent with previous post) Here's a video from those same guys detailing the force of pressure a bit can exert on the tissues of the mouth.  And while I cringe at the phrase "scientifically proven" (since that's not the goal of science at all, it doesn't exist to prove things--it's a misnomer phrase), it is still interesting educational to watch.  And it's complete with yet more of the worst riding hands I've seen in recent memory.

WARNING:  If you are terribly squeamish and can't stand the sight of equine facial dissection, I'd recommend you sit this one out.  For those of you teetering on the edge, I will say that all the hair had been removed and the focus is on tissues of the mouth.  It's really not that bad.
