Could You Survive DIE HARD?

[@Vsauce3]

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? I look forward to a thoughtful and considerate discussion jk DIE HARD IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE! "Why", you ask? 1.) Christmas music 2.) Takes place during and/or around Christmas 3.) At the end of the day it is about the importance of family and being together. And murdering lots of people. HAPPY HOLIDAYS my little casseroles of joy! Only one more episode of CYSTM remains. Check back Monday the 30th to see it FREE!

While effectively landing on a loop of firehose is probably going to be fatal, I don't think the tensile strength of ballistics gel gives an accurate representation of the results. Does anyone have any ideas for what could stand in for the connective tissue, muscles and tendons?

Also, at the risk of the answer being "break your wrists, elbows and/or shoulders, possibly ripping your arms off" I recall John McLain holding the hose with both hands during the jump, so I wonder what difference that makes.

[@zstoops1]

I really like the videos but, I don't think your testing of the whole "hose drop thing" was even close to accurate. If you take 15 seconds and rewatch the scene. First he doesn't just drop off the edge like your dummy; he jumps out away from the explosion. Giving him at least some give at the end due to the pendulum effect. Next he only falls about 2/3 the total distance before the hose (which is still a few turns around the extremely heavy real) catches. Turning the high mass real (heavy enough to nearly drag him back out the window) would reduce the already decreased impact on his waist even more. the real then rips off the wall and slides lowering him the last 1/3 of the distance. Not saying the results wouldn't be the same, But its that real falling twice the distance he did and catching at the end that would have been the problem.

A couple of thoghts regarding the firehose: 1: john m is not solely relying on the hose around his waist he is also holding it with his hands, 2: the holder gives way almost immediately that his weight pulls on it 3: john m also jumps out which makes him not fall straight down but in a form of a pendulum motion I am not claiming he would survive it unharmed but there are some things to factor in

[@SuperWumpkins]

I was gonna say the same thing. There are other contributing variables that weren't explored. His fingertips would have 100% gotten ripped off from grabbing that ledge though. I always thought that was nuts.

[@Xentillus]

@@SuperWumpkins Reminds me of how in assassin's creed if you fall 10 stories onto your feet, you die, but you'll survive a 10 story drop onto your fingertips.

@@SuperWumpkins The Behind the Scenes revealed that part to be a mistake that was purposefully left in. The stuntman was supposed to catch himself on the first ledge but fell. The director thought it looked so dramatic that he added Mclane catching himself in order to keep the footage in the movie.

[@timstackii]

Sympathetic explosion makes sense. McClane threw the contraption down the shaft and watched probably expecting a smaller less fireball-laden explosion and this explains why he looked so surprised when the fireball erupted and shot up the shaft. Now maybe the missile wouldn't go off, but those levels looked to be under construction, so maybe there was another fuel source of some kind on that level that could have been set off by the C4?

[@DenisRyan]

Fantastic episode! It was great seeing Derek play Hans!! Can't wait to share this when it goes live to everyone, but for now, I'm going to go watch Die Hard, as is traditional in my house!

[@Vsauce3]

Fun piece of trivia: that's actually film grain...albeit digital film grain added in post. One thing I did for this show was shoot in the same aspect ratio as every film we are doing (anamorphic for Die Hard) but also, if the film was shot on film, to recreate that "look". What happens is when you watch a 4K video like we are doing but have it on a smaller viewer (default KZbin player size or device that isn't true 4K) it basically oversamples the image so you have more pixels in less space which makes things like film grain or hard edges seem greater than they are because the overall sharpness has increased.
