Limburger Cheese and Bicycle Helmets

Joy

In the movies there are often scenes in a 'control room' where the people are tense because they are at the cusp of witnessing something catastrophic. When said disaster does not occur an eruption of joy via clapping, yelling, hugging, etc ensues.

Does this really happen?
