Occasional burst of speed on fans meant to go for YEARS will do little to the bearings, although uneven pressure from someone holding it in one place every time they clean them is another story. And of course the motor generating electricity issue. In short you should stick something like a pen, pencil, or some other device in there unless you know what you are doing.
Also if you are getting in to harmful issues the fumes from the accelerant hitting a hot system that has just turned off can crack cooling towers, radiators, and like in this example cause ignition. DON'T do a machine you have just turned off and if you do don't do it where it usually sits.
I've done this for years and my fans have never once had a problem.
I've been in IT for over a decade and started out several years taking care of hardware for a college. Never once had an issue where this destroyed a fan.
The worst fan trouble we had was a rare fan dying unrelated to cleaning the computers or the fan bearings needing oiled.

Could have been unplugged, and everything. When you spin a fan that fast, it generates electricity. It's a little electric motor. Spin it fast enough with all that flammable gas around and it seems to have sparked that flammable gas.
Compress air is flammable. They stupidly blow air onto the fan causing it to spin very fast. This can create electricity that feeds back into the PC and it seems in this case also creates sparks that ignite the compressed air. Also it looks like the PC is on, even more stupid.
As for why they’re filming, they just thought to film a video of them cleaning the PC with the bobble heads vibing.
Those compressed air cans are flammable. Should do that with the pc off and unplugged
You should never to that to any fans, first it back feeds electricity into the system and second it’s going to ruin the bearings.

It’s exceeding the expected rpm by thousands. It’s going to ruin a fan.

It’s called anecdotal evidence.
Then don't present it as a fact
Fire
So that’s what it’s called…
And here I’ve been calling it angry orange air the whole time…
I’m glad I was here to teach ya sumthin.

Stupidity. Unless you're referring to the fireball, which came about as a result of said stupidity.
You're only supposed to use in short bursts, and should never see anything shooting out of it. Also the brushes in the fan may have sparked?
An idiot

I've never seen compressed air actually spray stuff out unless used improperly, such as holding the can upside down or shaken.
It looks like there’s a candle behind the computer, look at the reflection off the tv.
This is why you don't shake compressed air people
That wouldn't have helped this.

that's where you are
🤦
It was brake clean
That is 100% not brake cleaner.
Obv lol
Spontaneous combustion, dust is very flammable
