It appears to be in an old gym and they were sometimes provided with a suspended
floor to help exercises.
Hydraulics engineering tells us that the warm water is practically
uncompress-able compared to the gaseous nitrogen providing the bang, the water
bottle and the bin. For a brief time, the high mass of the water would be pushed
outwards in all directions thus expanding the bin. Then the water would be
ejected upwards by the tension forces in the bin.
When the bin is initially ballooned by the water pressure wave, the bottom and
sides balloon out and the bottom pushes the whole thing in the air. Once the
ballooning reverses and pushes the water out of the top of the bin, the equal
and opposite Newtonian reaction thrusts the bin back down to the floor.

How dare the bin exhibit a bounce?
I know for a fact that Apple has a patent for 'bounce back'!
This is definitely an infringement - expect a lawsuit filed yesterday in
California.
However, my take on the matter is that this demo/experiment is proof of the
'dead cat bounce' as predicted by Schrodinger's cat in the box (or was that a
bin?). Wouldn't this be prior art?
