Our neighbors once made the mistake of burning some household garbage in their backyard. An aerosol can shot up out of the fire, hit a tree by their house and ended up setting the house on fire. Stupid games = stupid prizes.
The red flag bull test was pretty interesting. I remember see this Episode years ago in tv and i was happy because a question i have since my childhood got a answer.
What Mythbusters tells us is that getting the perfect conditions so an explosion or other disaster occurs is hard, like getting the right mix of a given products like oxygen and gasoline in a given volume. But entropy and big numbers will make so that after a while, it always happens somewhere that perfect conditions for catastrophe occur and disaster always happens in a completely unforeseen manner. Like the well known explosions caused by wood dust, for example.
With the keg myth, kegs are usually refilled and reused many times. The keg they used had some minor knicks to it. Considering how much a keg costs, I would think that it'd only get thrown on a fire if it was so damaged that you would feel ripped off by how much less beer it'd hold when full. (Eg. Someone kicks it over and it rolls down a hill or off a table, or some particularly hefty person trips on it twice, knocking it over and falling straight on top of it.) That additional damage would create a lot more points of failure for the keg around the perimeter. Obviously it's a bit late for a revisit, but that's my 2c 😊
32:38 line the foil with cabbage leaves (even if you have no desire or interest in eating cabbage) and it will not only protect your hobo dinner from burning, it also makes it juicier.
A fire department tested bullets in fires years ago, as they wanted to know if they would penetrate their bunker gear. What they found was that as the cartridge was uncontained, it would blow apart and wouldn't penetrate their clothing. May have been published in American Rifleman, can't recall.
My Hawaiian brother in law (rip) told me a story of throwing a can of shaving cream into a bed of hot coals on the beach. A group of surfers and their girlfriends were all asleep around the fire pit. My brother in law and his other Navy friends had had a dispute with them earlier. He said when it blew up it looked like a volcano and rained hot coals down on everyone within a 20-30' radius. They stood in the darkness and cheered Pele's retribution. He laughed about that his entire life. This was in the late 60's in the San Diego area somewhere.
36:35 the shrapnel can definitely be lethal. I remember seeing a video of a guy setting off a .22 with a hammer. Some shrapnel hit him in the leg and he almost bled out. It may not be immediately lethal, but if it hits you in just the right (or wrong) spot, you're as good as dead.
I think their arguments were always in the preparation of tests, when they couldn’t agree what to build or how to build it. They seemed to have genuine fun together while executing the tests.
The worst thing to throw into a fire is a jeu de boule/petanque ball. They're concrete cores with a metal layer cast on top. It is essentially a perfectly sealed pressure vessel with the shear lines already cut in. The concrete, and the remaining water, heats up until the metal skin can't take the pressure and it explodes like a frag grenade. In the Netherlands, this killed someone last summer. Someone had thrown one of those balls into a fire, it exploded and a chunk hit a guy in the head. He died on the spot.

Shortly after our wedding, I once spent an entire afternoon looking for the teapot and not finding it anywhere. When my wife came home I asked her where it was. She 'It's in the oven', with a look that added an unspoken 'of course'.
I loved the show when it first in the 2000s. I was in my 20s then. Good memories. The guys were around the same age. To know that Grant passed recently really shocked me
I would expect people to store the gun with the barrel towards the back of the oven. Not for safety reasons, someone putting it in the oven clearly doesn't care about that. But just for ease of access.
When Adam objected to tossing a full keg into a fire, I thought he didn't want it to go to waste and just pour some of it among the crew, not spill it on the ground!
I would have liked to see them place the keg upside down to see if the keg would launch itself like a rocket just like the the water heater did in that episode.
When it comes to ammo in camp fire that's something my grandfathet told me about as something he did with his friends just after WW II when there was still a lot of ammo around.
I do wonder how narrow the aisles were in a real china shop when the adage was coined. It's probably less 'animal chooses destruction' and more 'big animal + constricted space + fragile things = broken fragile things.'
They really underplayed the danger of the spray cans. That fireball could burn people seriously and get burned badly enough you very well might die after weeks of hell in a burn ward.
Also I hate how they declare you aren’t in danger with baked bullets. But they never raise the shelf and test what happens when the bullets hit the glass. They don’t make it through the metal on their own but-?
Me and some friends broke in to a construction site and took everything that had warning signs on it and lit a fire. The fire ball was the biggest iv seen and we ran home and watched police and firefigthers rush out.. nothing was on fire or damaged, we where stupid but not morons. And it was almost 30 years ago
"did it hurt the bull?" "I think the bulls gonna be fine" After they fixed the shelves and Tony's bulls... 3 lines in a row! 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣 The writers went overdrive with the script. Totally missed them when I saw this at childhood haha
my prob with the red flag to a bull is there testing conditions the saying comes from bull fighting and they fail to test the fact that the guy with the red flag inside the arena has been stabbing the bull with swords for the last hour putting on a show im pretty sure the bull isnt pissed at the red flag
I Really HAVE to disagree on their "conclusion" of the bullets in a fire. Any 1 who is going to do that is Not going to have thick boards around to protect themselves……and not only are the casings going to shoot out, but WHEERRE do they thinks the bullets are gonna go. They think their just gonna lay there? They're goona shoot out & strike some1!
@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy Duh..I'm not the 1 that didn't quite get it..&I Really Don't have in me 2 go into a lengthy explanation to bring to Ur level of understanding!
@ seems you’re the one with the superiority complex here, you clearly didn’t understand the episode, they’re not saying the bullets are just gonna stay still while the casing fires off, the damage done to the boards were from both bullets and the shell, the shells seem to have caused the worse damage. That was the episode yet you seem to no t understand “duh no one is gonna have thick boards around it” dipshit
Aerosol can maybe not that dangerous, but not the one insect killing type, mostly for cockroach or mosquito. My uncle died one day after got blast by the burried insect killing can while he was burning the garden trash. He was burned and poisoned to death.

Grant agreed to be the ballistic gel head. He agreed to it enough that he sat still for like an hour while unable to move nor speak. Unless the myth being tested is about an aneurysm, there's absolutely nothing about the ballistics gel head being his that could possibly age poorly. It's a reminder of his love for what he did more than anything.

5:30 Moments like this are why I love Mythbusters. They may not get along with each other but they make a very good show.
This is the first scene that came to my mind when i clicked on this episode.
I think their arguments were always in the preparation of tests, when they couldn’t agree what to build or how to build it. They seemed to have genuine fun together while executing the tests.
From what I've heard they could get along fine when they were working but nothing more than that, they were just colleagues
Adam has a yt channel, and he said it was great to work with Jamie, they had disagrements , but who doesn't, they respect each other.
This rumor that they did not get along needs to die already. They just were not friends but colleagues. They obviously got along.
Can’t believe they went with “Dr FrankenGrant” instead of “Dr Grantenstein”
I can admit that Kari has been one of my longest time celeb crushes. Starting to watch in my early teens

so what we have learned that bulls do not adhere to the rules of war and disrespect white flags.

Red flag to a bull is not busted if the flag is moving. Yes, any colour will do but a red flag is as good as any if it's moving.
They... they literally showed that in the episode. They had a segment with one moving flag and one stationary flag and the bulls went for the moving one.
The point of the tests was to see if, since the saying is "like a *red* flag to a bull", the color being *red* or not made any difference. That is what they set out to do, and that is what they busted, since the bulls attacked everything that was moving and/or everything in their pen, in that order.
