You stated there were no injuries while taping Mythbusters segments, just before & after tests.. Is that for you & Jamie only? I recall Tori getting injured testing breaking a fall with a building canopy & testing a bicycle myth.
If I remember right, in an interview he mentioned that that wasn't just a date, it was the date where he was planning to propose. Fortunately, the singed hair didn't stop him, nor did it stop her from saying yes.
I'm with Penn and Teller on this. They adamantly refuse anything that could harm anyone. All the gore, all the danger, is certified fake. Penn said they consider it morally wrong to make the audience complicit in harming a human being or even an animal for entertainment.
Since the episodes weren't live, I never had much trepidation that what we were watching was going to end up in some kind of catastrophe. But, I do remember the Water Torture myth, and how one could see how much anxiety it was causing Kari Byron. Made me uncomfortable, and I wanted the plug pulled on that sooner than it was.
I'm with Penn also. Myth busters though is a bit more than entertainment. There are things that were learned, data on survivability of explosions. At least one person survived driving into water because of their work. There was some purpose.
@@ChrisCandreva As a result of the car in the water episode, I resolved to always carry a Buck Knife with me when I drive. It makes a fine gift for whoever has to drag my soggy dead carcass out of the water.
The only real injury I remember happening during the execution of a myth was the time Tory really banged his shin on the window sill whilst doing a climbing myth. Still makes me cringe.
@@Jimorian I'm pretty sure it was Grant. And I have to say, I also thought of Tory smashing his leg on the windowsill when it came to injuries on Mythbusters. I suppose there was also his wagon jump attempt from Drive Shaft Pole Vault, but he walked that off and it wasn't pertaining to a myth anyway.
I recall when they put Kari, Adam, and Tori in some airplane seats and dropped them from like 5 feet up to test crash positions or something. I remember Kari complaining of having a messed up neck or back after that.
Didn't they hook up an electric cattle fence device to it? I was just reading those devices average 2,000-10,000 volts. If you've ever had electricity flow through your body, it is a very intense and painful sensation
Yup. According to the clip, he stated that the one they used was 10,000 volts. I also recall hearing in one Q&A or other that it wasn’t the B team’s decision. It was some asshat producer type or other. Or something.
@@hughmann3952 "I also recall hearing in one Q&A or other that it wasn’t the B team’s decision. It was some asshat producer type or other. Or something." i've read that too somewhere. and to add, that producer was promptly fire.
@@karrot16 Aside from anything else, it was pretty dangerous. You can reach out and touch a cattle fence with relatively little actual danger (if you don't count the pain), because the electricity travels along your arm and down your leg to ground. But if I recall right, Adam grabbed the two bits of the Ark in each hand. If one was the earth and the other the high-voltage, it would have put 10k volts -across his chest-, which is something you should never do. Something I learned from the Plasma Channel is to always practice the "one hand in pocket" rule when playing with high voltage, precisely because of this.
Underwater car was one of the scariest episodes to WATCH. This was so, not only because of the too real real time fear of losing you guys & the primal fear of seeing fear on tape, but also because we HAVE to believe that we can increase our odds by the knowing.
The near injuries I remember is goofing off....Tory: the 360 swing and him breaking the normal one and falling on his back, his bike ride face plant on the tarmac trying to go over a little ramp. Then Adam sticking his mouth in the vacuum is a classic.
I've experienced slowed time during an accident. I still can't explain how I had time to make 1/3 choices with potential outcomes. Granted it only felt I got extra seconds but it was enough. I decided to only risk my own safety and drove into a lake. Surreal is the best word I can associate in those moments.
I've seen something similar described as 'fight time'. Time seems to simultaneously speed up but also slow down, everything becomes a lot clearer and reaction speed basically shoots through the roof. Peak fight or flight instinct kicking in
I had a similar experience when someone pulled out in front of me on a highway when it was raining. I had milliseconds to swerve, missed the truck by what seemed like an inch, and then corrected out of a hydroplane that had me sideways in the road with oncoming traffic. All this was happening at 60 mph. I don't think I could have done it if I'd have planned it or put any thought into it, my inner James Bond just took over; and it was the strangest sensation of being in total control while relying on instict and reflex. I know that doesn't make much sense, but that's the best way i can describe it. Thankfully, nobody got hurt, but it was maybe the scariest few seconds of my life.
I had a very similar feeling when a semi-trailer truck ran me off the highway. I thank the universe that I was in a space that I could pull off to the left and my adrenaline kicked in, and I (sort of) safely sat on the grassy median and cried for a bit after the adrenaline wore off.
Idrk how to put into words how much you and the rest of the Mythbusters team impacted my life. You guys where a much needed escape from the everyday chaos that was my childhood and are solely responsible for any interest that I have in how things work. So for those very simplified reasons I'd just like to say thank you.
As for time perception and acquiring more data with adrenaline, I can most certainly say YES! I was in a car accident back in 2005. It was raining heavily the 101 freeway at White Oak going south. A white car stalled in the #1 lane and a Priceline delivery vehicle passed me going about 60. As soon as I noticed the PrimetTime van was going to hit the stalled white vehicle, the rain slowed down (like Matrix 3). I saw the PrimetTime vehicle turn its wheels to avoid the accident and I remember calculating the impact force and direction would cause the van to enter into my lane. I turned my steering wheel to compensate knowing I would need to thread a narrow gap in lane #5. I felt my car wheels start to hydroplane and I applied the breaks trying to adjust the braks between hydroplaning, gripping the road and slowing without losing control. I noticed I was starting to spin and was trying to avoid hitting the only call box in the middle of a grassy slope. I looked at the PrimeTime van getting close to my vehicle just as my front passenger tire caught the asphalt curb. It spun me around. I saw my front driverside tire hit the Callao pole and I went spinning upwards and around on the grassy slope. I saw the Callao fly over my windshield and I was thinking this is similar to a ride at Disneyland. It felt like 2 minutes, but it all happened within a few seconds. When I the vehicle stopped, time caught up with me and the ultra slow speed viewing was gone. I took out my 1M candle power flashlight and I was pointing it up above the freeway inclination to signal drivers to slow down. I called 911 and apparently the officer who took my statement thought I was making things up because I had too much detail.
The electric fence episode, Adam and Christine getting hit with molten sugar, Tory's shin during a falling myth. Other injuries happen around the myth not actual testing, like the lip in the vacuum motor.
As I recall, it was mostly a producer pushing them to "prank" adam with it even though they weren't comfortable with it. Said producer was swiftly fired.
Thanks for answering my question. Also I just watched that episode last night, poor jamie. Dude the roar he made of frustration, determination and fear is awe inspiring. Also my old boss used to threaten to wrap me in bubble wrap because I was always getting small cuts and stuff
Tori face-planting trying to do a bicycle jump wasn’t part of a myth, so I think Adam’s right that there weren’t any injuries in execution of mythbusting. 😉
@@GameDesignerJDG the question wasn't about not getting hurt at all but at the requirement of getting hurt intentionally in order to prove or bust the myth.
Time does feel like it slows down in critical moments. I got hit by a truck going around 30mph literally minutes after being released from surgery. I put my hands on the truck and managed to use the impact to back slide and spin me around the vehicle. I could feel every muscle movement. Everything about that moment slowed way down. It was maybe a couple of seconds, but it felt like minutes to me. Same kinda thing when i got impailed. I remember sitting there with this object through me, wondering what was going on. It felt like 10.. 20 .. whatever minutes. And then i started to bleed a lot. The reality is it probably was just a few seconds. I've been impailed 3 arguably 4 times. Like falling, I'd say that's one you don't get used to either.
Why hello Adam, a fellow 7 hour sleeper. I have so many friends and family who sleep 8-10 hours and they all think I'm nuts. Glad to have a hero to point to showing that I'm not crazy!
Thank you for underwater car. That is one of a very few TV or video programmes that has affected my behaviour directly, I now carry a spring loaded centre punch to break the widows, tucked into my sun visor.
@Jared Mehrlich I sure did! All the way from the Mediterranean Sea, The Giza Plateau, Thebes, Aswan, Abu Simbel, etc... Wherever it seemed that Indy would fit it, I went dressed as him.
That bobbing for apples episode always seemed odd to me how quickly Adam (and later Jamie) reached the point where they couldn’t keep going. It just seemed like a fairly small sample size to make a conclusion, and seemed like they reached their limit much sooner than with some other difficult and taxing myths. It makes SO much more sense now, that not having control of when you drop would make that several orders of magnitude more difficult and stressful than it even seemed.
I've had time slow down on me. Me I was a kid. I climbed up a tree and and went to grab a branch, that ended up being dead, and it broke and I fell backwards to the ground. And timed slowed down as I fell to where it felt like it took two minutes to hit the ground. And the other strange thing was as I was falling in "slow motion" I could feel the branches graze my arms/hands as I fell down, and I could feel each branch individually as everything felt real slowed down.I tried to replicate it by falling out of trees, but never could do it again.
Regarding the suction cups, id say while more complex, the individual cups are safer, as in you should always maintain 3 points of contact, and even if one fails to engage you can always try again without too much worry over pulling the other 3 away from the wall
Time slowing down in a car accident (when you're rolling,sliding,and flipping anyhow) is a very real sensation. It's hard to explain if you've never experienced it. An incredibly weird sensation in that time slows down while simultaneously speeding up.
I’ve experienced the feeling while being bucked off a horse and charged by a mother cow, and while driving in Virginia and all I can compare it to is the slow motion segments in Sherlock Holmes where he’s mentally breaking down what he predicts is going to happen in a fight- but not being conscious of those predictions in your mind necessarily. In the driving scenario I was in the right lane and another car was on my left and even though they were not using their turn signal I could see they wanted my lane. They were beginning to change lanes basically before they were clear of my car. It was congested enough that they couldn’t actually get ahead of me far enough to change lanes and behind me a semi truck was approaching at a speed faster than the flow of traffic. Far faster. So I couldn’t slow down. and ahead of us someone slammed on their brakes. This all was happening simultaneously, at which point I knew I needed to get out of the way and warn the other car so I honked, and they corrected, and I changed lanes and thankfully the space my vehicle was occupying was enough for the semi to slow down. If I had changed lanes without warning that other car about the semi they probably would have 1 clipped my vehicle and 2 caused a pile up with my family and all our luggage in a tiny rented Chevy trax. My husband had just graduated Basic Training and my kids and mother in law and I flew out to watch him graduate and drive him to his next phase of training and we were CRAMMED in that little vehicle and having all those lives on the line (five people) some how I could see the chain reaction of what was going to happen if I didn’t do something
consider doing a video on oils and lubricants in the shop for various project uses, etc. I know there are a lot of opinions on using specific oils for toy trains, small motors, etc.
There were a couple of injuries that I remember seeing. Once was when Adam was horsing around with the vacuum and messed up his lower lip. The other is when the build team was testing hanging by finger tips and Tory barked up his shin when he dropped and hit the window ledge. There's also the bike and the wagon, but that's a totally different matter.
I have to say, falling is absolutely terrifying, I have been on a camp where you are pulled up on a giant swing, a harness is strung from 2 trees and a team of people pull you up on a pulley system you then pull a release strong on the rope, that first fall when you pull the string is terrifying, it does get fun after that though.
I hope this somehow gets back to Adam, probably not but it’s so refreshing to hear him say that there was a dip but it was also invigorating! People need to hear this!
I used a Sony Porta Pak recording system in high school. I was part of a team that recorded ball games for the athletic department. Had a lot of fun. It was heavy as hell to lug around .
Adam, if you're reading this... I think it's time to revisit the cement truck episode from first season. Was it ever discussed to rotate the mixer so the solid block of concrete was on top, then use a pile driver (or two) as "thumpers" to eventually jar the concrete loose. Using gravity as our friend, I wonder if this shows any potential of succeeding. Thanks and have a great day!
I have a dear friend that got married onboard a plane in flight. Her father did not join them. His reasoning? "The last time I went up in a plane someone shoved me out over Normandy into a war." No one argued with him over it.
Your description of a human's response to falling reminded me of one of my favorite stories about my mom. When my mom was at the end of her first marriage and getting divorced she took up sky diving. She did it for years and did 90 something jumps before stopping around the time she married my dad. When I first found out about it as a teenager, I asked her why she decided to start, and she said "When I was falling, I couldn't think about anything else. I couldn't think about anything going on in my life - I just had to make sure I pulled the cord at the right time." That was the day I learned that my mom is a badass.
I love bungee jumping. I've done it 3 times and I want to do it again. But I love the feeling of free falling and the adrenaline from it. I've also cliff dived many times and been dropped from a crane. But I agree you do never get used to the initial drop.
Aaaannnnddd..... que the montage of EVERY accident and injury they got on film. Starting with the time Tori tried to jump a bicycle and landed on his face!! 🤣🤣
Yes when you have an accident, it happened when I was taken off my mc. I went over the handlebars and my brain truly slowed down enough to see where I was sliding into, a kerb! Headfirst! I even had time to see where the taxi had driven to and stopped. I got up with no pain, even though I had bruised my thigh black, and broken my lower leg bone, and then kick started my mc with a slight wince of pain in the right leg and worked for 3 nights 2 days with a broken swollen leg. Now it's about 1/2 " shorter than left leg.
The whole "You can get used to suffering through it, but you can't get used to falling" reminds me of how I used to be TERRIFIED of needles...and I am also someone in a body that is a total lemon. I end up needing blood draws and IV fairly regularly. I have needles shoved into me semi-regularly and have for the last decade or so of my life. Even worse, because part of my condition is frequent dehydration and anemia, my veins are an absolute bitch to poke. I get dry sticks CONSTANTLY. For anyone who has the pleasure of not having medical issues, a dry stick is where they stick the needle into your flesh, don't hit the vein, and then spend some time moving it back and forth or pulling it slightly out before pushing it in a slightly different direction in hopes of finding that vein. It's just flat-out someone digging around in your flesh with a needle. It is not fun. It also happens to me regularly enough that I am probably approaching triple digits in dry pokes now. It's just a regular occurrence sadly. I will never get used to the feeling of needles digging around my flesh, though I have gotten decent at suffering through it.
I'm so glad you have this channel.I watched this alone,then with kids from the pilot to the till the end.I wept Abit when it was over.Your like family and this means Alot.Getcha Pull🥃-CHEERS 🍻🤘🏿🤓🎸\m/
Not being in control of your fall ugh I totally get that. When I was in basic navy training the guy that was supposed to tap you to let you know to jump from diving board shoved me in back under lungs. I hit the water with the wind knocked out of me already
@@EvanCops I got a mouth full of water, I'm a big guy so I sank nearly to the bottom of that pool too. I remember opening my eyes to see two of the instructors coming towards me. I've actually drowned once before so I was determined not to again
One of the interns (can’t remember her name) get burnt also in the exploding jawbreaker myth too, maybe didn’t have degree burns on her but I’d have thought that would count as an injury.
It's a long shot but Tested needs to introduce Adam to the comic video Suction Cup Man. I immediately thought of that when he mentioned climbing with suction cups. Seriously!
Oh my gosh, that bungee-jumping episode sounds really scary! I'll have to try to find it, because sadly I couldn't always afford my paid TV service during your whole series.
I always wondered.. the frequency machine to clean a cement truck... Why did we not try to get a bridge waving with that instead of Jamie's little soldiers
Ark of the Covernant! He didn't do that twice. I once accidently got across a 4kv capacitor bank, designed to 'blow' short-circuits in an electrostatic precipitator. Hand to hand. And I am NOT going to repeat that either. Just once is too much, don't even think it, thankyouverymuch.
Howdy Adam, big fan. I was rewatching the myth busters episode where y'all did the test on car vs motorcycle on which is worse for environment. I was wondering if the stats would change if you replaced the motorcycle exhaust with a cars muffler. Just a thought
Abrupt and unpredicted falling is what I think triggers an involuntary bodily response in most/all people. They kind of talk about that a little in the movie Inception, when they use it as the "kick" to wake them up. Otherwise falling, when you are planning to fall, is feared by some and sought after by others!
So, here is what I would like to see you do that I don't think you have done. Build a Dobsonian telescope, a nice size one, maybe truss design with your own primary mirror box design, etc.
about the adrenalin thing, unless you were injecting epinephrin, would your cortisol levels not affect the results of the test? This is considering you were using stressful events in order to build up the adrenaline rush.
I went to watch my mate go Skydiving once & I asked the guy my mate was tandem jumping with if he had gotten bored doing these tandem jumps but I was shocked when he said its the same rush all these years later.
During an international safety standards survey, multiple transport industries were asked about acceptable injuries and acceptable fatality percentages. Most said 0 and 0, but when pressed for worst case scenarios, car manufacturers said they could tolerate a few injuries and 1-2 fatalities a year based on total number of cars on the road vs cost to fix issues. Airlines had fewer acceptable injury rates, but much higher acceptable fatality rates, due to if there was a crash many more would likely perish, and cost of correction is significant. This went for bicycle, motorbike, scooter, tram, train, bus, etc. They all has similar numbers for acceptable injuries or fatalities based on insurance and liability etc. The only industry, world wide, across all participants to say 0 and keep 0, was the elevator industry. Manufacturers, maintenance personnel, and inspectors all said the same thing. There is no reason anyone should be injured on an escalator/elevator/gondola, and there is no reason anyone should die on one. Any injury requires review and correction, no exceptions, dam the cost. And amazingly, for distance travelled (which is the longest of any transport industry), elevator and escalators are the single safest form of travel per km per person by a HUGE margin. They do not tolerate unsafe things, seems mythbusters tried to do the same. Eliminate any risk, do not tolerate the potential of risk for expediency or cost savings.
I wasnt at all afraid of falling until i actually jumped off a 30 foot rock in Hawaii when i was a kid. i almost couldn't do it again a second and third time. i was never able to do it after that. I believe no one can get used to that feeling.
Jumped off rocks when I was a kid. Back then it was just fun. That feeling of falling for more than a second was so great, loved it. But today? I kind of doubt I'd be able to do it. Back when I was fifteen, I think it was, I suddenly developed a fear of heights. There was nothing I can identify as a trigger, just one day at a museum I'd been to several times before I suddenly got a panic attack. We were looking at the skeleton of a blue whale from a walkway about 30 feet up. I'd been there many times and never thought anything about it before, but now I suddenly felt how I was about to fall even though there was a high rail making it impossible. The walkway is about ten feet across so it's not some kind of balancing act. But feeling total panic I backed up to the middle, walked over to one of the pillars that went from the roof to the floor and put my back against it. Took a couple of minutes trying to figure out what was happening, which turned out to be my brain screaming in panic, before taking aim at the door and walking in a straight line out of the room without looking to the side. The summer before I had a job scraping paint on tin roofs four floors up. Never felt a twinge... Over the years I've gotten over most of it, but I still feel uncomfortable when working on a high ladder and other similar situations.
I remember in the myth about hanging off a ledge by only fingers that tory fell off the Firefighter tower, and hit his shin on one of the windows. Yikes
What about the myth of trying to "wake up" a drunken person where Adam let Jamie slap the sh!t out of him in slow motion? Lol. Watching how elastic a person's face is was pretty entertaining!
2:18 - It gives me a chuckle when I think of the obvious: Adam... I'm fairly certain you could wear that getup every day and no one would bat an eye! And you get the bonus of self defense with fun!
I can only provide my first hand experience about time dilation in crisis situations. I was on my motorcycle when an approaching car made a left hand turn in right in front of me. I managed to grab as much brake as possible, but it was too late. I t-boned the car, totaled my bike, broke my right femur in two places, separated my left shoulder, and wound up with a gash in my forehead despite wearing a full face helmet. While it was happening I retained every minute detail, to me it most certainly felt like time slowed down. When I was in the ER, the police interviewed me for the report. I could even remember the face of the kid driving (on his cell phone of course) and the color, make and model of the car. If anyone here rides, PLEASE ALWAYS gear up and wear a full face helmet. I would've been dead or a vegetable otherwise. The ER doctor told me if I wasn't wearing an armored jacket, my left shoulder would've been completely shattered and not just separated.
As soon as you said that you start with your feet half off the platform, my legs started to twitch and I had to stop the video. My fear of heights kicked in. Bungie jumping is a big, OH HELL NO for me.
I'll be really honest. How Adam Savage looks now is how I would have liked him to look during MythBusters. I so wish it was being produced today with him and Jamie. I'm happy with the actual MythBusters series being over and I don't want a reboot, however I'd would absolutely love for Adam and Jamie to get together for just a movie special. Not only testing some myths with modern day technology, but also myths they've always wanted to do. As well as reflecting on previous myths and paying tribute to Grant. With how the world is today, I feel we could really use something like that. Something pure and objectively wholesome.
I am big fan of you sir ❤️ i watched every episodes myth Busters showe on discovery channel great testing matheds why myth Busters showe is stopping myth Busters showe is awesome sir.

The only real injury I remember happening during the execution of a myth was the time Tory really banged his shin on the window sill whilst doing a climbing myth. Still makes me cringe.
And was it Grant or Tory who got a seriously bad rope burn on his hands with the jail escape rappel?

Didn't Tori wipe out pretty badly on a bicycle?
@@Coonwhiz IIRC that was just him messing around on the bike, not part of the test? Could be wrong though, it's been a decade or two.

He was pissed about it. No one knew that they were playing a joke on him. If I recall correctly they actually had a big meeting over it.

I had a very similar feeling when a semi-trailer truck ran me off the highway. I thank the universe that I was in a space that I could pull off to the left and my adrenaline kicked in, and I (sort of) safely sat on the grassy median and cried for a bit after the adrenaline wore off.
Idrk how to put into words how much you and the rest of the Mythbusters team impacted my life. You guys where a much needed escape from the everyday chaos that was my childhood and are solely responsible for any interest that I have in how things work. So for those very simplified reasons I'd just like to say thank you.
fo real
As for time perception and acquiring more data with adrenaline, I can most certainly say YES!
I was in a car accident back in 2005. It was raining heavily the 101 freeway at White Oak going south. A white car stalled in the #1 lane and a Priceline delivery vehicle passed me going about 60. As soon as I noticed the PrimetTime van was going to hit the stalled white vehicle, the rain slowed down (like Matrix 3). I saw the PrimetTime vehicle turn its wheels to avoid the accident and I remember calculating the impact force and direction would cause the van to enter into my lane. I turned my steering wheel to compensate knowing I would need to thread a narrow gap in lane #5. I felt my car wheels start to hydroplane and I applied the breaks trying to adjust the braks between hydroplaning, gripping the road and slowing without losing control. I noticed I was starting to spin and was trying to avoid hitting the only call box in the middle of a grassy slope. I looked at the PrimeTime van getting close to my vehicle just as my front passenger tire caught the asphalt curb. It spun me around. I saw my front driverside tire hit the Callao pole and I went spinning upwards and around on the grassy slope. I saw the Callao fly over my windshield and I was thinking this is similar to a ride at Disneyland.
It felt like 2 minutes, but it all happened within a few seconds. When I the vehicle stopped, time caught up with me and the ultra slow speed viewing was gone.
I took out my 1M candle power flashlight and I was pointing it up above the freeway inclination to signal drivers to slow down.
I called 911 and apparently the officer who took my statement thought I was making things up because I had too much detail.
I don't know about "no injuries executing a myth" -- "Am I missing an eyebrow?" comes to mind...
The electric fence episode, Adam and Christine getting hit with molten sugar, Tory's shin during a falling myth. Other injuries happen around the myth not actual testing, like the lip in the vacuum motor.
@@Heegaherger Tory trying to jump over the cart with a bike...
The vacuum kiss
@@tapio_m6861 I almost listed that one, but that was not actually during a test
Eyebrows don't feel pain.
This makes me wonder how much trouble the "junior team" got in with the Ark of the Covenant build when they electrified it and shocked Adam.
As I recall, it was mostly a producer pushing them to "prank" adam with it even though they weren't comfortable with it. Said producer was swiftly fired.
"Can this be over?" That made me chuckle. 😄
Thanks for answering my question. Also I just watched that episode last night, poor jamie. Dude the roar he made of frustration, determination and fear is awe inspiring.
Also my old boss used to threaten to wrap me in bubble wrap because I was always getting small cuts and stuff
Ask any Mythbusters fan about injuries, and EVERYONE immediately jumps to Tory's epic endo/faceplant on the bike. It's achieved legendary status.
and adams vacuum motor lip incident
I think of Tory cracking his shin on the concrete window sil during the ledge grab myth.
I also think about when the gang shocked Adam. He wasn't very happy that one.
@@Skotzennthat’s the one I thought of
Am I missing....an eyebrow ?
Tori face-planting trying to do a bicycle jump wasn’t part of a myth, so I think Adam’s right that there weren’t any injuries in execution of mythbusting. 😉
Omg I don't think I've ever laughed harder than when Tory face planted... it was so much funnier because the girls coyishly baited him into it... 🤣🤣🤣
What about the time Adam said "Am I missing an eyebrow?"
Looking at the video, at that time, he says "I'm fine, I'm fine. Am I missing an eyebrow?" which might be even funnier, but also disproves my point.
@@GameDesignerJDG the question wasn't about not getting hurt at all but at the requirement of getting hurt intentionally in order to prove or bust the myth.
@@steffanaarts-greven1352 also true.
Time does feel like it slows down in critical moments. I got hit by a truck going around 30mph literally minutes after being released from surgery. I put my hands on the truck and managed to use the impact to back slide and spin me around the vehicle. I could feel every muscle movement. Everything about that moment slowed way down. It was maybe a couple of seconds, but it felt like minutes to me.
Same kinda thing when i got impailed. I remember sitting there with this object through me, wondering what was going on. It felt like 10.. 20 .. whatever minutes. And then i started to bleed a lot. The reality is it probably was just a few seconds. I've been impailed 3 arguably 4 times. Like falling, I'd say that's one you don't get used to either.
Dude. How does this keep happening? Impaled 4 times??
Taury's knee getting the business on that firefighting tower myth comes to mind.
Why hello Adam, a fellow 7 hour sleeper. I have so many friends and family who sleep 8-10 hours and they all think I'm nuts. Glad to have a hero to point to showing that I'm not crazy!
Thank you for underwater car. That is one of a very few TV or video programmes that has affected my behaviour directly, I now carry a spring loaded centre punch to break the widows, tucked into my sun visor.
As someone who dressed as Indy for two weeks in Egypt, I can understand his excitement for it.
You did? Sounds fun!
@Jared Mehrlich I sure did! All the way from the Mediterranean Sea, The Giza Plateau, Thebes, Aswan, Abu Simbel, etc... Wherever it seemed that Indy would fit it, I went dressed as him.
@@JoshuaLenerville haha that's awesome!
That bobbing for apples episode always seemed odd to me how quickly Adam (and later Jamie) reached the point where they couldn’t keep going. It just seemed like a fairly small sample size to make a conclusion, and seemed like they reached their limit much sooner than with some other difficult and taxing myths. It makes SO much more sense now, that not having control of when you drop would make that several orders of magnitude more difficult and stressful than it even seemed.
I've had time slow down on me. Me I was a kid. I climbed up a tree and and went to grab a branch, that ended up being dead, and it broke and I fell backwards to the ground. And timed slowed down as I fell to where it felt like it took two minutes to hit the ground. And the other strange thing was as I was falling in "slow motion" I could feel the branches graze my arms/hands as I fell down, and I could feel each branch individually as everything felt real slowed down.I tried to replicate it by falling out of trees, but never could do it again.
Adam was the center of a bubble wrap burrito! Thank you and the Mythbusters team for the show. Whenever there is a marathon I watch it.
ref: 10:40
Free fall from what height ?
At least diving from 5 m and 10 m trigger no fear response after doing it for some time.
Since I happened on a new upload: Thanks for the recommendation on the Blundstone boots. They've been great.
Regarding the suction cups, id say while more complex, the individual cups are safer, as in you should always maintain 3 points of contact, and even if one fails to engage you can always try again without too much worry over pulling the other 3 away from the wall
Time slowing down in a car accident (when you're rolling,sliding,and flipping anyhow) is a very real sensation.
It's hard to explain if you've never experienced it.
An incredibly weird sensation in that time slows down while simultaneously speeding up.
I’ve experienced the feeling while being bucked off a horse and charged by a mother cow, and while driving in Virginia and all I can compare it to is the slow motion segments in Sherlock Holmes where he’s mentally breaking down what he predicts is going to happen in a fight- but not being conscious of those predictions in your mind necessarily. In the driving scenario I was in the right lane and another car was on my left and even though they were not using their turn signal I could see they wanted my lane. They were beginning to change lanes basically before they were clear of my car. It was congested enough that they couldn’t actually get ahead of me far enough to change lanes and behind me a semi truck was approaching at a speed faster than the flow of traffic. Far faster. So I couldn’t slow down. and ahead of us someone slammed on their brakes. This all was happening simultaneously, at which point I knew I needed to get out of the way and warn the other car so I honked, and they corrected, and I changed lanes and thankfully the space my vehicle was occupying was enough for the semi to slow down. If I had changed lanes without warning that other car about the semi they probably would have 1 clipped my vehicle and 2 caused a pile up with my family and all our luggage in a tiny rented Chevy trax. My husband had just graduated Basic Training and my kids and mother in law and I flew out to watch him graduate and drive him to his next phase of training and we were CRAMMED in that little vehicle and having all those lives on the line (five people) some how I could see the chain reaction of what was going to happen if I didn’t do something
consider doing a video on oils and lubricants in the shop for various project uses, etc. I know there are a lot of opinions on using specific oils for toy trains, small motors, etc.
There were a couple of injuries that I remember seeing. Once was when Adam was horsing around with the vacuum and messed up his lower lip. The other is when the build team was testing hanging by finger tips and Tory barked up his shin when he dropped and hit the window ledge. There's also the bike and the wagon, but that's a totally different matter.
I've done both bungee jumping and parachuting and there is something just really enjoyable about just floating in the air.
Same. Weird innit. I love falling but it's still terrifying to throw yourself over the edge.
I have to say, falling is absolutely terrifying, I have been on a camp where you are pulled up on a giant swing, a harness is strung from 2 trees and a team of people pull you up on a pulley system you then pull a release strong on the rope, that first fall when you pull the string is terrifying, it does get fun after that though.
You have never spoke more truth. Falling is a horrible feeling the worst.
I hope this somehow gets back to Adam, probably not but it’s so refreshing to hear him say that there was a dip but it was also invigorating! People need to hear this!
I used a Sony Porta Pak recording system in high school. I was part of a team that recorded ball games for the athletic department. Had a lot of fun. It was heavy as hell to lug around .
Adam, if you're reading this... I think it's time to revisit the cement truck episode from first season. Was it ever discussed to rotate the mixer so the solid block of concrete was on top, then use a pile driver (or two) as "thumpers" to eventually jar the concrete loose. Using gravity as our friend, I wonder if this shows any potential of succeeding. Thanks and have a great day!
I have a dear friend that got married onboard a plane in flight. Her father did not join them. His reasoning? "The last time I went up in a plane someone shoved me out over Normandy into a war." No one argued with him over it.
That must be a pretty big daughter-father age difference then! Unless she's older herself ofc
@@jakobvanklinken There was a 22 year age gap between the oldest and youngest siblings. My friend is in her 40s however.
Hes a living legend.
I like the idea they jumped into the reception.
Your description of a human's response to falling reminded me of one of my favorite stories about my mom. When my mom was at the end of her first marriage and getting divorced she took up sky diving. She did it for years and did 90 something jumps before stopping around the time she married my dad. When I first found out about it as a teenager, I asked her why she decided to start, and she said "When I was falling, I couldn't think about anything else. I couldn't think about anything going on in my life - I just had to make sure I pulled the cord at the right time." That was the day I learned that my mom is a badass.
I love bungee jumping. I've done it 3 times and I want to do it again. But I love the feeling of free falling and the adrenaline from it. I've also cliff dived many times and been dropped from a crane. But I agree you do never get used to the initial drop.
Aaaannnnddd..... que the montage of EVERY accident and injury they got on film. Starting with the time Tori tried to jump a bicycle and landed on his face!! 🤣🤣
"I have a vacuum powered climbing machine up in my loft" of course you do. Lol
Really fabulous insights on your experiences on the show. It is still mind blowing that it lasted that many years!
Yes when you have an accident, it happened when I was taken off my mc.
I went over the handlebars and my brain truly slowed down enough to see where I was sliding into, a kerb! Headfirst!
I even had time to see where the taxi had driven to and stopped.
I got up with no pain, even though I had bruised my thigh black, and broken my lower leg bone, and then kick started my mc with a slight wince of pain in the right leg and worked for 3 nights 2 days with a broken swollen leg.
Now it's about 1/2 " shorter than left leg.
Been there, done that
Tory definitely got hurt on that bike. Ouch. That video is imprinted on my brain for life.
Adam’s impression of Jamie’s countdown voice is absolutely amazing
That pistol pointed at me keeps me sleepless
The whole "You can get used to suffering through it, but you can't get used to falling" reminds me of how I used to be TERRIFIED of needles...and I am also someone in a body that is a total lemon. I end up needing blood draws and IV fairly regularly. I have needles shoved into me semi-regularly and have for the last decade or so of my life. Even worse, because part of my condition is frequent dehydration and anemia, my veins are an absolute bitch to poke. I get dry sticks CONSTANTLY. For anyone who has the pleasure of not having medical issues, a dry stick is where they stick the needle into your flesh, don't hit the vein, and then spend some time moving it back and forth or pulling it slightly out before pushing it in a slightly different direction in hopes of finding that vein. It's just flat-out someone digging around in your flesh with a needle. It is not fun. It also happens to me regularly enough that I am probably approaching triple digits in dry pokes now. It's just a regular occurrence sadly.
I will never get used to the feeling of needles digging around my flesh, though I have gotten decent at suffering through it.
"Am I missing, an eyebrow?"
Stayed in my head all this time and I still quote that line anytime something goes amiss at work
Your impressions of jamie are always respectful and funny
I love these everytime.
I'm so glad you have this channel.I watched this alone,then with kids from the pilot to the till the end.I wept Abit when it was over.Your like family and this means Alot.Getcha Pull🥃-CHEERS 🍻🤘🏿🤓🎸\m/
I bungee jump and I fully admit the 1st time I was nervous but I got used to it and then I get excited every time I get to go
Not being in control of your fall ugh I totally get that. When I was in basic navy training the guy that was supposed to tap you to let you know to jump from diving board shoved me in back under lungs. I hit the water with the wind knocked out of me already
Oh my god that sounds awful
@@EvanCops I got a mouth full of water, I'm a big guy so I sank nearly to the bottom of that pool too. I remember opening my eyes to see two of the instructors coming towards me. I've actually drowned once before so I was determined not to again
I remember when you were testing walking on fire for someone not knowing how to do it. If I remember right, you had some burns.
One of the interns (can’t remember her name) get burnt also in the exploding jawbreaker myth too, maybe didn’t have degree burns on her but I’d have thought that would count as an injury.
It's a long shot but Tested needs to introduce Adam to the comic video Suction Cup Man. I immediately thought of that when he mentioned climbing with suction cups. Seriously!
Oh my gosh, that bungee-jumping episode sounds really scary! I'll have to try to find it, because sadly I couldn't always afford my paid TV service during your whole series.
I always wondered.. the frequency machine to clean a cement truck... Why did we not try to get a bridge waving with that instead of Jamie's little soldiers
Ark of the Covernant!
He didn't do that twice.
I once accidently got across a 4kv capacitor bank, designed to 'blow' short-circuits in an electrostatic precipitator. Hand to hand. And I am NOT going to repeat that either. Just once is too much, don't even think it, thankyouverymuch.
The florescent light above your head always reminds me of a boss health bar and it makes me giggle every time
Howdy Adam, big fan. I was rewatching the myth busters episode where y'all did the test on car vs motorcycle on which is worse for environment. I was wondering if the stats would change if you replaced the motorcycle exhaust with a cars muffler. Just a thought
Accident time perception is true. Been there, felt that. And it was awful.
I want to know more about accident time perception, sounds really interesting
Can this be over!? :D that was gold
Abrupt and unpredicted falling is what I think triggers an involuntary bodily response in most/all people. They kind of talk about that a little in the movie Inception, when they use it as the "kick" to wake them up. Otherwise falling, when you are planning to fall, is feared by some and sought after by others!
My grandmother always said you can get used to anything but hanging. I’ve long wondered where she got that.
So, here is what I would like to see you do that I don't think you have done. Build a Dobsonian telescope, a nice size one, maybe truss design with your own primary mirror box design, etc.
about the adrenalin thing, unless you were injecting epinephrin, would your cortisol levels not affect the results of the test? This is considering you were using stressful events in order to build up the adrenaline rush.
The one injury my mind always jumps to in regards to Mythbusters is the corner of Adam's mouth getting shredded by the vacuum cleaner motor.
Is that a vintage Wilton vise or so they still make them?
I went to watch my mate go Skydiving once & I asked the guy my mate was tandem jumping with if he had gotten bored doing these tandem jumps but I was shocked when he said its the same rush all these years later.
During an international safety standards survey, multiple transport industries were asked about acceptable injuries and acceptable fatality percentages. Most said 0 and 0, but when pressed for worst case scenarios, car manufacturers said they could tolerate a few injuries and 1-2 fatalities a year based on total number of cars on the road vs cost to fix issues. Airlines had fewer acceptable injury rates, but much higher acceptable fatality rates, due to if there was a crash many more would likely perish, and cost of correction is significant. This went for bicycle, motorbike, scooter, tram, train, bus, etc. They all has similar numbers for acceptable injuries or fatalities based on insurance and liability etc.
The only industry, world wide, across all participants to say 0 and keep 0, was the elevator industry. Manufacturers, maintenance personnel, and inspectors all said the same thing. There is no reason anyone should be injured on an escalator/elevator/gondola, and there is no reason anyone should die on one. Any injury requires review and correction, no exceptions, dam the cost.
And amazingly, for distance travelled (which is the longest of any transport industry), elevator and escalators are the single safest form of travel per km per person by a HUGE margin.
They do not tolerate unsafe things, seems mythbusters tried to do the same. Eliminate any risk, do not tolerate the potential of risk for expediency or cost savings.
Hi Adam hope your well and just wondering should you make a replica of the royal sceptre with the the star of Africa
CAN THIS BE OVER? is such funny phrasing, especially in Jamie's voice.
Love you Adam! Mythbuster’s has always been a staple within American Culture just as much as Coca Cola or Pepsi!
Let's be honest they're not even close.
And other countries enjoyed the show just as much as America.

@@jaredmehrlich6683 I would have said The Beatles.
I wasnt at all afraid of falling until i actually jumped off a 30 foot rock in Hawaii when i was a kid. i almost couldn't do it again a second and third time. i was never able to do it after that. I believe no one can get used to that feeling.
Jumped off rocks when I was a kid. Back then it was just fun. That feeling of falling for more than a second was so great, loved it. But today? I kind of doubt I'd be able to do it.
Back when I was fifteen, I think it was, I suddenly developed a fear of heights. There was nothing I can identify as a trigger, just one day at a museum I'd been to several times before I suddenly got a panic attack. We were looking at the skeleton of a blue whale from a walkway about 30 feet up. I'd been there many times and never thought anything about it before, but now I suddenly felt how I was about to fall even though there was a high rail making it impossible. The walkway is about ten feet across so it's not some kind of balancing act. But feeling total panic I backed up to the middle, walked over to one of the pillars that went from the roof to the floor and put my back against it. Took a couple of minutes trying to figure out what was happening, which turned out to be my brain screaming in panic, before taking aim at the door and walking in a straight line out of the room without looking to the side.
The summer before I had a job scraping paint on tin roofs four floors up. Never felt a twinge...
Over the years I've gotten over most of it, but I still feel uncomfortable when working on a high ladder and other similar situations.
My all time favorite MB episode was for me hands down the Confederate Rocket.
I remember in the myth about hanging off a ledge by only fingers that tory fell off the Firefighter tower, and hit his shin on one of the windows.
Yikes
Before watching I'm gonna guess that nighttime shark one on a sunken shipwreck, but idk if shark weeks counts as one of the specials
What about the myth of trying to "wake up" a drunken person where Adam let Jamie slap the sh!t out of him in slow motion? Lol. Watching how elastic a person's face is was pretty entertaining!
I was thinking when they shocked the hell out of Adam and he got so crazy pissed at tory, Kari, and grant.
Adam, you just said the Bubble word! lol. :) 06:48 (For those wondering, watch Cooking Chaos, Season 14 Episode 4)
This reminds me of when Jamie walked across the duct tape bridge... "That was absolutely awful"😂
How about “am i missing an eyebrow” episode?😄 that was an accident i presume - love that shot 🫶🏻
If we can get a suction cup system that's based _off_ vacuum cleaners, then what's it based ON: a piston-vacuum pump?
2:18 - It gives me a chuckle when I think of the obvious: Adam... I'm fairly certain you could wear that getup every day and no one would bat an eye! And you get the bonus of self defense with fun!
Would you consider being on the safety third podcast?
I can only provide my first hand experience about time dilation in crisis situations. I was on my motorcycle when an approaching car made a left hand turn in right in front of me. I managed to grab as much brake as possible, but it was too late. I t-boned the car, totaled my bike, broke my right femur in two places, separated my left shoulder, and wound up with a gash in my forehead despite wearing a full face helmet. While it was happening I retained every minute detail, to me it most certainly felt like time slowed down. When I was in the ER, the police interviewed me for the report. I could even remember the face of the kid driving (on his cell phone of course) and the color, make and model of the car. If anyone here rides, PLEASE ALWAYS gear up and wear a full face helmet. I would've been dead or a vegetable otherwise. The ER doctor told me if I wasn't wearing an armored jacket, my left shoulder would've been completely shattered and not just separated.
Drunk Adam on the treadmill. Tory getting hit by the sword swinging robot. Adam being electrocuted by an electric fence zapper.
He was shocked by an electric fence controller. If he had been electrocuted, he wouldn't be around any longer.
As soon as you said that you start with your feet half off the platform, my legs started to twitch and I had to stop the video. My fear of heights kicked in. Bungie jumping is a big, OH HELL NO for me.
I'll be really honest. How Adam Savage looks now is how I would have liked him to look during MythBusters. I so wish it was being produced today with him and Jamie.
I'm happy with the actual MythBusters series being over and I don't want a reboot, however I'd would absolutely love for Adam and Jamie to get together for just a movie special. Not only testing some myths with modern day technology, but also myths they've always wanted to do. As well as reflecting on previous myths and paying tribute to Grant.
With how the world is today, I feel we could really use something like that. Something pure and objectively wholesome.
There was that one episode where you stuck your arm in a tube full of daddy longleg spiders and let them bite you lol.
Physical injuries never neccessary in busting myths except when it comes to piercings....... but mental scaring...... A O K 😊
I want to see like a 3 hour video of addam just going on tangents and telling stories
I thought you got injured in the atomic Jawbreaker episode.
I am big fan of you sir ❤️ i watched every episodes myth Busters showe on discovery channel great testing matheds why myth Busters showe is stopping myth Busters showe is awesome sir.
Sir you making myth Busters showes some times you most dengerous stunts and tests sir please be careful. Thank you so much sir.
