Jeepers. Great attention to detail, I'd definitely throw my relatives at them to give me a chance to escape. Like chryspano says though, I'd be worried about snap reprisals or unforeseen health related consequences.

I'm wondering what would happen if a passerby was carrying a gun with him or had some heart problems. I find those pranks too far fetched, even if all of the people involved are actors, someone else might try something similar with  unpredicted consequences.
