I am not worried about the video because:

1) They purposely trimmed THE WRONG WAY just to see what happens.
They trimmed the wrong way not "to see what happens", but to replicate MCAS trimming the wrong way, because electric trim can't trim nose down so much with the flaps up, as MCAS can.

At the end they tried to trim THE CORRECT WAY, but even with the trim at just 2.4 units from full nose down it was almost impossible for one person.

2) It is a simulator and may not accurately reflect actual aircraft operation in the same situation.
I don't understand why you are not worried. Is it because you believe it will be much easier on a real aircraft in the same situation? If that's the reason, what is the basis for your belief?
