As an aboriginal australian person who grew up making, painting and throwing boomerangs this video actually makes me really happy, but yeah a proper solid wood boomerang can be really dangerous as they are built to take down birds, and other game like kangaroos and emu and other marsupials. So I feel like its ok to be afraid of a boomerang since they can actually do serious damage if used properly or if used wrongly
@@max.the.imperorum actually they're equivalent, not to mention it would be much easier to calculate based on gravitational acceleration than somehow figuring out how fast the boomerang is going at the instant of impact...
i was like “omg that bird is so cool i wish there were animals like that here” and then walked outside and immediately heard the bird call, forgetting i also live in texas. whoops
this video and your shirt was the reason I found out you went to school in my hometown and worked at the tiny zoo I used to go to as a kid.... crazy i've been watching you for years and never realized it
It’s okay Maya your fear of boomerangs is so real, I hate shit coming at my face, it is scary (although mine come from the time I almost broke my nose when a soccer ball came flying into my head)
Maya: is scared of boomerangs. Also Maya: "I thought that was the boomerang. I don't have my contacts in." Y'know, as a contact wearer myself, being able to see makes things a LOT easier. xD
She is just the most wholesome soul on the internet. I had a rough time in my life and just watching your content made me feel much better. I got my old self back and watch you content every day cuz you have the best vibes ever. I know i sound very emotional and other thing but yeah you’re just great. Keep up the greatness.
Not having contacts in but being able to perfectly name all the birds in proximity is so impressive without my glasses i wouldnt be able to tell apart a trash bag from a bird
I now understand why we have never had a robert Irwin and Maya collaboration. Having an Australian around is too big of a risk of wild boomerangs attacking her.
I think when I was a kid throwing a boomerang I would catch it by closing my hands on it, like clapping or clamping your hands down on it. That way the spinning arms arent going to hit your hands but you have to time it just right. And you move your arms and hands with the direction the boomerang is going as it gets to you. But Maya should give this another go with a 3 sided boomerang. Easier to throw and catch.
I was hit in the head with a golf club, intentionally. It was a slightly off glancing blow, but still cracked and deformed my skull right in front of my left temple. I have a lump where it healed. The doctor said if it had been an inch further back I likely would’ve died. Golf clubs are indeed scary.
i have a fear of boomerangs too , i threw one when i was 8 and havent found it to this day , thats why i have schizoaffective paranoia , i expect it at all moments to hit me in the back of my head killing me dead
🤣 That's an *amazing* thought... _"Somewhere in the universe is a boomerang I once threw, but never returned... So I live my life day to day, just waiting for it to suddenly return, to take my ass out!"_ Unless you were serious and are truly traumatized over it, in which case you have my sympathies! 🥴

Boomerangs are supposed to have slightly cut down edges, so it probably won't work because it's a square ornamental one. Also you sort of throw it down instead of up in the air.
Im australian and i threw and cauight a heavy wooden propper boomerang in the 3rd grade... It literally took like 4 tries to get a full circle. it hit me in the knee and hurt a little bit...
Maya i can actually relate to this, my fear wasn’t of spinning stuff just fast stuff flying at me in general, mostly frisbees! they are more unpredictable than balls, and my grandma actually found me an ‘Aerobie Squidgie’ rubber frisbee and honestly i would play with it now rather than a hard disc because im still kinda scared of them and its just floppy and fun and flies just as well!
Ayyyy my friend and I bought that foam boomerang on amazon two weeks ago! It's pretty fun, and when thrown properly it doesn't hurt when it comes back to you. Camera mans problem was he was releasing too low.
isnt itsuposed to be thrown vertical? they were doing it horizontal wich makes it go up and not curve sideways, when se read the instructions didnt they say no mor than 45 degree angle vertically? i tried with one my uncle gave my parents as a present when he went to new zealand and it did the circle path when i threw it vertically and the trown quasi horizontal, max degree 20 or 30, if not it goes up and just converts into a saw finger broker machine cool video, thank for your work and dedication maya and the team

I'm pretty sure boomerangs aren't supposed to come back. I'm pretty sure they are designed to hit prey (food) and only have a return trajectory if you miss your target throwing it. But, I'm not Australian; so what do I know.

Also that actually wasn't the worst boomerang throwing I've ever seen, you actually did crazy well considering you weren't used to it before
why didn't the aborigines also invent a boomerang catcher :(
@@alveolate They did, it's called "hands" :)
Do that kind of boomerang come back to you if you miss? Or are they too heavy
@alveolate they didn't need it cause they would catch them with their hands or they would just pick it up after it hit something
i love her need to lay down prone on the ground whenever she's too stressed or overwhelmed. very relatable LOL
She did the Goku pose. It was so funny. 😂
this comment is sus
considering she deals with animals, yeah.
🤓 actually she was laying in supine position not prone.
@@aisle9how?
oh my god the back flip lmao brody you're wild
its crazy to me how someone can be brave enough to work with animals like stompy and scared of a boomerang lmfaoo
If she spent as much time with a boomerang as she has stompy she’d be a pro
Boomerangs were used by indigenous Australians as a tool for hunting, they would’ve been powerful enough to knock out an emu
@@lachlanzyp7806 yea but not a foam one brotha
it's weird but that's kinda how irrational fears work, they don't make sense
Also snakes and cockroaches
Used the only clip where Sokka throws his space rock sword instead of his boomerang lmao
Lmfao yea I was looking for this comment
true lmao, literally any other clip would've actually had him using his boomerang
Rip Space sword😔
Having a vulture waiting on you is a probably a good indication that you may want to rethink some of your life's choices.
Maya is like a boomerang cuz she always comes back with the banger videos 👌🏻
This editing is so good, even the chapter names make me laugh so much
I agree 🤣🤣
the chapter titles are so silly and i love reading them thank you maya 🦎
The boomerangs in the sky can't hurt you
Maya- But what if they get stuck in my skull?
"It's plastic"
"So are BBs"
Maya, your boomerang isn't moving at several hundred feet per second lol
Idk I kinda got an arm 💪
@@mayahigawell that ofc, and the boomerang weighs a lot more and F = m×a so bigger thing push nerve ending harder ouchie ow 🤕

Wow, Maya can backflip? She's so cool, you guys!
I hope we get new episodes of "Maya has fun for once" with Timber, Awa and Push Rod Suspension Pop Legend Elton John
That moment with the grackle was awesome. Even amidst all of life’s cruelty, the world can be so unexpectedly beautiful.
Please do a soccer stream next, that field looks amazing. I’m jealous
What is going to be the challenge?
I vote for "How long untill hitting the top bar from penalty?"
The bravery of learning new skills while thousands of sweaty internet nerds watch you is unmatched, truly an icon
I now understand why we have never had a robert Irwin and Maya collaboration. Having an Australian around is too big of a risk of wild boomerangs attacking her.
this editor is going insane with the edits hell yeah
I too am afraid of things that come back at me, like that one time I-

wow okay that's gotta be the most unique phobia I've seen in a while pog
You don't catch it against your hand you catch it between both hands... OUCH!!!
Ricky really had an impact on you. Chuckin boomerangs and calling things "too easy" 😂
Awooooo we own the night
Maya, your boomerang escapade was hilariously entertaining!
I loved the birdo cameos. Cute lil grackle
It's no surprise that in a video about catching a boomerang, Maya makes the highlight a bird surfing lol ❤
My nephew calls grackles laser birds he said they sound like lasers from star wars
Maya attempting to do random physical activities is a great series
“I don’t have contacts in” bro I’d be scared too wtf 😂

Make sure to check out Mayas new Wildlife podcast, its so good.

Also, Maya can identify birds from a couple of hundred feet away but can't tell the difference between pictures of Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio on a screen right in front of her.
There is no permanent cure for phobia of boomerangs. It’ll keep coming back.
Boomerangs are supposed to have slightly cut down edges, so it probably won't work because it's a square ornamental one.

she's throwing it wrong too anyway
Watching you makes me feel smart. Love It!

Maya consistently has the best thumbnails.
I think u gotta throw it more vertically rotated, so instead of being horizontal and turning up, its kinda sideways and turns left
i love the editors sm
Gloves might’ve been a smart idea
watching maya attempt boomerangs but got a bonus of a grackle grackling at maya's fails
You may like disc golf! Very similar mechanics to this, but no returning death stick
