YES, your 2HP dust collector DOES have enough suction to suck up a 16' Stanley Leverlock tape measure into a 4" diam flex hose.
However, if you are quick enough, you should be able to jump to the main line and close the blast gate before the tape measure dances it's merry way up the entire length of the 6' hose. (I think it was within 12-16" of the main line though...) Otherwise this might have had a different ending.
I can't even imagine what kind of mess that would have made if it had gotten as far as the DC impeller.
