I'm also quite impressed that people can actually get so close to the apparatus without there being any need for shielding. You'd expect them to give off yellow flames themselves, really.

Maybe they're on a low sodium diet.

That stuff ("Lo Salt") is made from potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride. I'm no chemist but I wonder whether that would have a similar reaction? It is further up the reactivity series than sodium so if it does I would expect the reaction to be more violent.
