The silly thing is that they just didn't make plastic walls they could put inside the steel frame. that way they could watch it without the risk of pieces hitting them.
adam isn't the smartest guy. you can still see him working on projects to this day where he wont be wearing any PPE at all. I'm shocked he's not got some sort of lung condition by now.
Jamie, in a completely monotone voice: "You could get serious burns from this... in fact I think I just did." The man is impervious to pain. He scares me slightly.
At 4:11 Adam's lip still healing after it got sucked into a vacuum cleaner engine when he put his face too close to it in the "survive a falling elevator" episode, while they were building hovercrafts.
@@Zorothegallade-rpg Also they took more serious concerns after the cannon ball landed in someones house. It was the last test fire of the day and it bounced over the wall not sure how high the wall is from the video alone.
Chistine should have stayed there. Why did they get rid of her. The drug addict that pinched Kari is obnoxious. And i believe it was her idea to shock Adam when they did with the bibles Ark.
The card throwing machines truly show how different Jamie and Adam work. Adam tries to replicate the anatomy of throwing a card. Jamie tries to replicate the result.
Adam is the mad scientist of the two, innovative and can make beautifully constructed stuff. Jamie keeps things simple, which is good when you wanna just get the job done, but it would make extremely boring TV if this would be all about that only haha.
What happened in later series? Jamie is joking around and giving information to Christine and the audience. He just became reactive to Adam's showmanship later on. I like this Jamie.
kids are stupid, when i was a kid i thought running full speed into a brick wall was the funniest thing ever, even after breaking my orbital bone, and a kid from school used to lick d batteries, kids being stupid is what makes kids learn not to be stupid
17:33 To people thinking that was harsh of Jamie, you're completely wrong. That's the way of an introvert messing with you 😂. I know, I am one and always misunderstood.
You missed the most likely explanation: prince Rupert's drops. Expansive pressure in the inside (from heat), retractive pressure on the outside (from ambient cooling, but more importantly from being licked) causing the explosion.
@@Lonewolf_121 good chance? It happens multiple times throughout the experiment leading up to the point at which two people are stood unprotected near the gobstopper that first explodes and they both get molten sugar on their skin. You think they took the time to find similar looking gob stoppers and do insert shots of them cold? Not a chance. The gobstopper that first explodes is clearly shown being handled by a bare hand just before it exploded. These guys were notoriously bad at safety. And Adam can still be seen on his tested channel doing things without adequate protection.
Why on earth would anyone put candy in a microwave? Aside from the fact that I don't know of any households where children that young are allowed to use a microwave oven without adult supervision, and what adult would think that was a good idea?
I could see a kid trying it to "soften" the candy, not realising the risk. You would hope an adult would stop them, but not all adults will realise either.
Once I was sand blasting a bunch of brass parts inside a plastic container for a long time (the parts weren't able to make contact with ground because they were inside the container) then as I went to pick them up I was hit with a MASSIVE static discharge through my gloves lol Later on I did it again and touched the parts with a wire connected to ground before picking them up and there was a huge arc
After hearing Adam talk about how safety was always their top priority its kinda strange to see the safety squints while welding and someone getting burned by hot sugar… I guess this is still the safety third era
1:59 putting a jaw breaker in microwave.. No wonder it exploded. I've had exploding water from microwave... It super heats a single area and it explodes when penetrated
Metal paint layer > Other kind of paint layer > Metal paint layer on top of that would probably have been better than inside and outside the pipe. And it would make a lot more sense than having the pipe painted inside
about the pvc pipes, when i was younger, i've worked in a animals vitamins compounds factory, one day, i was in charge to clean the building basement, the industrial vacuum cleaner pipe i've need to use this day was unusable as it was, so i've had the luminous idea to replace it by the only thing i can found quickly, a pvc pipe, the first half of hour, nothing happens, i've suck out all kind of dusts, it worked well, but suddenly, i've been chocked by a big lightning when i was close to a metallic freight elevator, it took me about 5 minutes to snap out of it lol... after this incident, i've understood that i will need to attach a copper wire all long the pvc tube and let it touching permanently to the metallic soil to discharge the static electricity, lesson learned lol...
Oh wow.. thsi episode is what got me into throwing cards when I was... like 12! Watched it during Spring Break (the equivalent in México) and I returned to my class to find another suspiciouslly new card trowing afficionado, I guess we both saw the episode xD
Curious why the reports said the kids licked the candy when it exploded… so wondering why theyre testing what happens when something thats too big for kids to put in their mouths is whole and in an unnaturally wide open mouth bites it 🤷♂️
With the killer card myth, the duo have forgotten about the Carotid and Jugula arteries in the kneck. Both of these are less than 1/8 th of an inch under the skin, so hitting them would possibly kill meaning the myth would be plausible.
with the jawbreaker i have exploded one before, it had a gum center and the gum melted first building pressure, the thing exploded in half and shattered the bowl it was in
I was just thinking about this episode yesterday- what are the odds? Also, Jamie was lucky he was wearing the firesuit shirt at 8:25. Imagine if he wasn't. 😱
why. the sudden censoring of the item.. it went from showing the candy in the wrapper 36:25 to suddenly its highly forbidden after it comes out of the own and needs to be censored and greyed out.
Say, for example, a documentary is being made about reckless driving and, they've filmed a random car in a street. And, as it turns out, you see it's the same make, model and, colour as your car. Oh, look, it has your registration plate on it, not greyed out...
@@kkumi1782 it's really weird that that's the only one that's censored though. Unless they suddenly used a different one with it's name on it, or maybe the candy company was just angry with that specific one.
@@markiplieristhebestpizzato2743 This is the shot that consists of a close-up of the wrapper. I can only assume it would otherwise be quite legible. The shot of Adam waving the wrapped one around, in his hand, doesn't give anything away. All other shots, as far as I saw, were unwrapped jawbreakers. I actually thought the wrapper odd. Outside of this episode, I've never encountered a packaged jawbreaker. A large jar loosely filled, yes but, never individually bagged.
it's not JUST the amps. you can have 30 amps but when you only have .01 volts it doesn't have the energy to pass through your skin to cause damage. and then there is a difference between AC and DC. AC has the added danger of messing with your nerves but then there is the factor frequency at a certian frequency it just burns and stops messing with your nerves.
This isn’t how it happend tho he heated the jaw breaker an licked it an it exploded not he heated it an bite it an it exploded I think it was more like heating glass an drip water on it it cracks so I think the jawbreaker was hot an the saliva from licking it caused it to explode
8:51 I think Christine had a tough time. Rewatching the episodes and seeing her makes me feel that there has been an issue with some work environment towards her. Her expression at this time stamp kind of wraps up a lot
this one always bugged me as hell, still a fan, but darn these guys could be idiots sometimes :p , the "lye" they used is clearly DRANO drain unplugger....

Right ^^
At 29:43, you can see on the results table "metal cards". Why didn't we get to see that? My first thought when they said about the myth was the idea of something like 1mm thick metal cards...... 40:10. That's what I've been waiting for! The goddess Scottie appears again! She was always my favourite. Sorry Kari, but blondes always appeal to me...
Hot sugar really dangerous 🤦🏾♂️ I've seen once but not on ppl, its on a plastic bowl, i was trying to make my own candy at the time, i cook or boil the sugar till melted and then pour into plastic bowl and then left it in freezer about 30 minutes and after 30 minutes i check out how does it doing and then shock 😲 that thing melted the bowl and poured out in my freezer 🤦🏾♂️ imagine if that was my arm😵🥶 that is gonna be painful 😖😣
It's very cathartic seeing the Mythbusters struggle with the microwave settings.
6:00 ah yes, the welding safety squints.
The sandy eyes syndrom. :)

How silly to stand around the jawbreaker while trying to get it to explode.

Dealing with a production company is exhausting.
to sum up, later seasons became highly scripted, from the myths to dialogue, shots, etc
someone needs to be asking why people are heating up jawbreakers
They’re hard to chew. So logically people think I’ll soften it up in the microwave.
children are stupid.
@@BlitzMekanikalogically? Don’t buy a jawbreaker if you want a soft candy lol
logic is a subjective term

"Adam will give you mouth to mouth if you pass out" 😂
Crazy they're holding the jaw breakers with their bare hands
I almost forgot about this episode, thank you for reminding me.
32:09, So the myth of John Wick cutting Killa Harkans neck with a playing card is BUSTED!
Joker does it too.
all of them playing with the Van der Graaf at the end hahaha
I think the fact they stood right next to a molten centre jawbreaker they were trying to explode with no safety says a lot
seem about right for guys from san francisco...
You missed the most likely explanation: prince Rupert's drops. Expansive pressure in the inside (from heat), retractive pressure on the outside (from ambient cooling, but more importantly from being licked) causing the explosion.
Watching this made me miss the time when Mythbusters was on tv.
Life was so much more simple back then..
I was so young when the first few seasons of mythbusters were released, I SWEAR this was the first episode I ever watched
Adam handling the jawbreakers with his bare hands after taking them out of the microwave... I don't understand this show sometimes.
its produced in san francisco... that helps to explains a lot.
Good chance it was shot after and inserted, not an actual microwaved one
@@Lonewolf_121 good chance?

the metall playing cards could definitely be lethal and plausible.
24:40 Jamie wanted Blendo's outer shell to spin at that rate. Imagine the carnage.

Omg that made laugh way too much
3:02: seriously don't try this at home.
I really hate jawbreakers.
29:24 "Adam's best effort can only penetrate a 1/4 inch"
I like this Episode, the hot jawbreakers are scary
Not the cheeky editing while Adam's generating static at 42:00. 🙈
3:07 Yeah, still got a big scar from when I managed to fling some melted sugar onto myself, that shit was really painful and burned deep.
25:15 regarding safety, one thing that never changed was that plug it in, plug it out, we do not need an emergency breaker electricity thing.
4:13 You can see Adam cut lip from the vacuum motor 😆
the question unanswered is WHY THE HELL ARE THEY MICROWAVING THESE CANDIES?!?!? if it's too hard don't eat it??????????
Kids do kid things...... Dont act surprised that a child does things that dont make sense
The static "cannon" is indeed real. They are called propagating brush discharges and there is a video about it, they can be huge!
One of the best plugs for a book ever.
The jaw breakers I get have a hollow core, which is just a gum ball coved in layers of suger
Not surprised Christine left the show, this is the second episode I have seen Jamie have a go at her.
Once I was sand blasting a bunch of brass parts inside a plastic container for a long time (the parts weren't able to make contact with ground because they were inside the container) then as I went to pick them up I was hit with a MASSIVE static discharge through my gloves lol

Who in their right mind would get the idea to heat a jawbreaker in the microwave?!?
"If I warm the jawbreaker it gets soft, right?"
My dumbass kid brain would probably have done it.
Kids. They very often do whatever just pops into their heads. I speak from experience as an ex-child and a teacher.
A child
children are quite famously known around the world to be monumentally stupid.

"most significant injury in myth busters"

What are they testing if a card can decapitate someone? Like 1/4 to 1/2 is enough to sever an important artery no?

Well it can theoretically work but you don’t really impede any rotation to the card so it won’t fly well
