A safer experiment might be this. Take a picture of yourself using a flash-equipped camera (film, not digital) and a full-length mirror and note how large the burst of saturation appears in the final photo. You know the flash is only an inch or two square, but the burst as recorded on film will likely obscure your entire head.

When you said "flash", I thought of a weld flash and found this.

If the analogy is accurate enough, a definite eye-opener.
But I thought the f-stop (5.6?) would've prevented the sun from saturating the film with light and/or they used some kind of 'antihalation' film, if such a thing existed then.
