One of my favourite stories that Adam told on his Tested channel was about the giant waterslide. After the episode was done shooting, the crew tasked with disassembling it were explicitly told for insurance reasons they were not allowed to go down the slide like they did on the show. The crew all ignored the warning and they all went down the slide, and thankfully nobody was injured.
Imagine being that lad just walking around San Francisco, suddenly Kari Byron with full camera crew runs up, asks if you're a fan of the show, shoves merch into your chest and then sprints away
@@haasman00When all the boys at school were into pop or movie stars... It was Kari Byron for me 😍 She's got the brains, the wit, the style and that moonbeam smile. The woman had it all. Even at nearly 50, she's still got it. Well, Kari Byron or Simone Simons from the Dutch metal band "Epica" I clearly have a thing for redheads.

Mythbusters is the reason I'm a socialist.

MMT actually uses a lot of mythbuster terms to explain how government finances work and to bust the many lies around it.
That requires that you _can_ maintain that speed more or less at right turns... I'd certainly love to see the statistics of UPS here in Germany, whether it's actually worth it here as well, or whether they only go with that method in some cases (maybe where there is medium traffic) and not others (where there is either light traffic that rarely hinders left turns, or heavy city traffic that hinders right turns just as much)... But especially with stop-start-automatics, I'd wager that it's not worth it for fuel use reasons anymore.
Try this in the UK :-P 1. Right, right, oh dead end. 2. Right, right, right, right, right, have to take the left here, right, right, right, good back on track. :)
I am so bothered by the fact they never had a closed-leg, arms-crossed run down the slide. Makes an absolute world of difference in speed.. Or at least had Buster do it.
believe me im going through the same emotions rewatching this... a lot of times their results would simply have been very different if they had modern internet... just checking methodology on google would prevent so many worngly busted myths... they also arbitrarily had to confirm myth details because informations wasnt as abundant about obscure shit in the early 2000s. this is why i wish there was a legit mythbusters or mythbusters like nowadays.

You would often have to delve deep into forums on your own and hope you can find a specific thread. Metatagging was also much worse back then. Information was freely available and abundant but there was much more clutter and indexing was worse the general barrier for entry towards digital competency has lowered a lot allowing non rech savvy but knowledgeable experts to provide info and expertise freely... ofc the tradeoff is that the dependency on these tools makes censorship much easier. The other biggest factor is that thanks to stricter copyright standards people dont steal videos as much, so the chain of authentication is much more solid.
True but the slide would need to be built differently, the edges were not high enough to be safe from sliding off the side that's why the guided with hands of feet
I feel like they should also have tested to see if the people in the video could've survived a crash into a small kiddie pool, although preferably not big scale with real people. I remember Adam talking about this one on Tested, he did not have that much fun with this one hehe... it looks awesome though
The converse to the turning myth - all left turns in the UK, wouldn't work, as you can't turn left on a red light. Plus, few UK roads are in a neat grid, so wouldn't be practical, even if permitted.
it's interesting to watch the waterslide footage after seeing Adam's _Tested_ episode about it - he said it wasn't nearly as fun as it maybe looked to actually do. and near the end he had absolutely had it. and you can kinda tell. he's doing his best, though.
With the delivery truck one (although I'd hardly call a slightly large van a "truck") that only works in America where you can turn right even if the light is red. Here in the UK, you ain't going anywhere till the light changes, so you won't save time. With the waterslide, apart from everything else, there's no way a little pool like that will be holding enough water to protect you from the impact. It would be a foot deep at best...
Since we drive on the left in the UK, i think that you should be allowed to turn left at a red light if you can see that it is safe to do so. Where i live there is one particular cross roads where im often waiting to turn left for over 2 minutes and there are no other cars from the other direction turning right. Its stupid and really frustrating.
From the footage it actually looks like the water comes up to just below his hips. So the pool isn't quite as small as it looks like at first glance. There are stunt men/acrobats who specialise in safely falling into very small shallow pools of water. I feel like it could totally be possible to do this without a major injury if you know what you're doing.
@@simontay4851 If cars weren't allowed to turn right on red you wouldn't have that problem. Being allowed to turn red on red is one of the major reasons the US has a death toll on roads significantly higher than other countries. It also slows down traffic by making everyone take longer to check. It might speed up the individual person but it slows down the system.
Grant's arithmetic at 13:15 is incorrect. He says the difference in fuel consumption between the right turn test (2.34lb) and left turn test (2.26lb) is less than 1% (he actually says 4 × ⅒th of 1%). However 2.34lb - 2.26lb = 0.08lb. 1% of 2.34 = 0.0234, so 0.08 / 0.0234 = *_3.4%_* Not huge, but *_much_* more significant benefit for left turns than Grant's script claimed. Best Wishes. ☮
I remember this episode, and after watching it again now as an adult, I’ve realized how much Adam’s joy for these experiments impacted my appreciation for the sciences…I want to say thank you 😊🤍
Wish they had taken into account that the time per 12 deliveries is shorter for right turns only, meaning you can earn more (assuming £/Delivery), and might possibly offset the extra fuel cost over a long, or even short, period of time.
if you want maximum speed and distance going down a slide? here is what you do: 1. cross you legs 2. press the bottom heel down in to the slide 3. press both sholder blades down in to the slide 4. lift you ass up in the air. 5. lose the suit and put on a speedo or a svimming shorths,,, get as little contact with the slide as possible.. it makes a HUGE difference
Not to criticize Adam, but as a person that grew up at the water parks. He is not sliding down correctly. If you want maximum speed on a water slide cross Your legs and ride on your heel and the shoulder blades on your back. Not that the myth was ever possible but he definitely would have had at least an extra twenty feet
But in normal water parks, the slides are designed to be far safer. For one, the "borders" are higher so that it should be impossible to slide over the side, and you won't hit the water particularly hard at the end - which means you _can_ come off the slide in pretty much any position without hurting yourself. Neither of those are the case here, they need to maintain a fairly central position overall on the slide, and not rotate at all while they're on the slide (to avoid turning sideways of even backwards before they hit the water).
I don’t really understand the one about turning right. Surely if there are traffic lights there you’d have to stop no matter which way you are turning. It wouldn’t save you any time.
To the kids pool: i think Adams legs dived at least 8 to 10 times the height of the pool down in the water. So the guy in the video would most likely have shattered legs, broken hip and a dislocated spine. So pretty death.
Wish they'd done the "always turn right myth" under different conditions. Real traffic, different destinations, delivery done over let's say an hour in different parts of a city...
I feel like if they used the brachistochrone slope that was in the video (and tucked their limbs better, although i imagine that's hard unless they had buster do it) they could have gotten a lot closer to the distance they were going for
I feel like for the super slide they needed a better slippy fluid and much more of it and better form going down the slide. With that combination they might have gotten much further, even if not the full distance.
They should've used a delivery truck from the beginning, as the powertrains are different due to the trucks having to de deal with practical, variable amounts of weight.
Watching that viral video in 2024 and it’s painfully obvious it was faked. However I can imaging during the original air date it wasn’t as obvious. Love that effect. People had it with the original Star Wars too.
Say what you will for not doing a legs-together run, what kinda bugs me is that they never tested whether hitting a kiddie pool like that would actually save you or if you'd just go straight through the ~3ft of water and splatter.
they showing how Adam accurately measure vide via measuring roll and still they made ramp completely different shape. On the video ramp has much more radius than that which they made
I'd be nervous of hitting the kitty pool ropes! Unlikely to be deadly, but could hurt depending on what body parts get entangled. Also the kitty pool used on dry land is only 1ft deep at most! Even if a person could land in the pool, the bottoming out would be deadly.
spread legs = more surface area = more resistance down the slide. so whilst it was great to see, they didn't actually slide correctly. need to look like a missile. perfectly straight for the least resistance
as much as the delivery turn thing was enjoyable, it would only work on the countries that allow the turning right on red light. basically just USA i think?
Not only was the speed of the recording off, but I also feel like the accuracy is impossible, not to mention sliding down with that amount of speed would have broken all of his bones even if he hit the pool. Especially since it looks like the guy hits the pool right at the back edge, which would give him no space to stop the momentum with (look at any video with big commercial waterpark waterslides, some of them have REALLY long pools at their exits to slow people down). Needless to say he would not be getting out of that pool as easy afterwards if that actually happend hahaha!
all that work to build the ramp and trying for speed and no one told Adam to maybe not brake with his legs the whole time? he pizza'd when he should have french fried. If you're worried about your bum aching, send down a dummy instead.
37:55 taking into account that the slide was made by Germans, it is possible as they did calculations for everything I suppose to the things if the slider would fart how much the slide would break the sliding person sliding 😂
Am i the only one that thinks trying to test traffic is just useless? Traffic isnt consistent from hour to hour, let alone day to day. They could fluctuate violently between the 2. You're only factoring in a stable wait time in each direction. Waiting for a reversing car could be common on a specific day a busy coffee shop could alter mornings, theres way too many things to factor in for a general rule! Besides their data might reflect their own experiences based on specific days or time of day! I've had logistics companies try to do the same thing, all though they dont factor in shop routines. Some places only accept deliveries at certain times, and you need to factor in business hours! Stupid study!!!
In Prague, they needed to test some possible rearangement variants of one major crossing, anfmd students in university have tried a hydrodynamics model for it, and it worked.
In a rare moment in Mythbuster history, you can actually hear audible enjoyment in Jamie's tone

Afaik the left vs. right turn myth was about safety, not fuel efficency.
Although the fuel efficiency IS a nice bonus.
spread legs = more surface area = more resistance down the slide. so whilst it was great to see, they didn't actually slide correctly. need to look like a missile. perfectly straight for the least resistance
My right ear have no idea what’s happening
as much as the delivery turn thing was enjoyable, it would only work on the countries that allow the turning right on red light. basically just USA i think?
Germany also has some lights where you can do that. They are marked with a Green arrow.
So it's not a default thing but also not super uncommon
Good thing they didn’t do a full scale test with no water/lube.
ramp has different - bigger radius at the end in original .
That video looked faked at the end, his momentum seemed to be "drawn" to the pool.

all that work to build the ramp and trying for speed and no one told Adam to maybe not brake with his legs the whole time? he pizza'd when he should have french fried. If you're worried about your bum aching, send down a dummy instead.
Just get roundabouts. Problem solved.
42:20 Can anyone explain how 6.8 and 4 make 3% difference? 2.8 is about 40% from 6.8.
Btw, 20:19 and 32:07 are the same footage.
banjay science giving the OG mythbusters account some competition????
6:02 feet first, head second (did i hear his neck crack?)
It's funny watching that water slide video in HD, you can tell straight away that the person on the slide is a VFX.
37:55 taking into account that the slide was made by Germans, it is possible as they did calculations for everything I suppose to the things if the slider would fart how much the slide would break the sliding person sliding 😂
Shoulda used KY jelly
The voice over is quite soft if I may say so.
i maybe be wrong.but is it a good idea to have a bomb painted on the side of a truck?.
Am i the only one that thinks trying to test traffic is just useless? Traffic isnt consistent from hour to hour, let alone day to day. They could fluctuate violently between the 2. You're only factoring in a stable wait time in each direction. Waiting for a reversing car could be common on a specific day a busy coffee shop could alter mornings, theres way too many things to factor in for a general rule! Besides their data might reflect their own experiences based on specific days or time of day!
I've had logistics companies try to do the same thing, all though they dont factor in shop routines. Some places only accept deliveries at certain times, and you need to factor in business hours!
Stupid study!!!
In Prague, they needed to test some possible rearangement variants of one major crossing, anfmd students in university have tried a hydrodynamics model for it, and it worked.
This's season 6 not 7

My right ear has lost the plot.
Who put the narrator in the closet
38:12 Sheldon Cooper
I think that the mega ramp is flawed. the ramp is clearly steeper
