The *one hundred-pound* bag of cement to the head would have completely crushed Harry's head, if not just crushed him into a misshapen mess of bone and meat on the floor. Horrifying.

[@CoolKoon]

Well, two notes on these experiments: yeah, the heater thing checks out just fine (it's obvious it won't work the way it "did" in the movie), but for the crowbar and the paint bucket you neglected two significant factors. First the paint bucket: both Harry and Marv have been knocked backwards by the force of the paint bucket, which implied that the collision was almost completely elastic i.e. the kinetic energy of the bucket has been transferred to the burglars i.e. knocked them over, whereas the dummy with the ballistic gel seems to have been affixed to the stairs specifically to avoid that, thus making the results somewhat irrelevant. The other thing is the crowbar: yeah, it's heavy and yeah, it can be deadly, but Harry has been hit with full winter clothes on (i.e. at least a shirt, a sweatshirt and maybe an undershirt too) that dampens the force of the crowbar A LOT, not with bare skin. Once again, a helluva difference.

[@AaronTKKelly]

CoolKoon you should write a book

[@CoolKoon]

I feel like this could've been improved by making it where the dummy flies back like in the movie. There's undoubtedly secondary damage caused by falling backwards down a flight of stairs after

[@jonpaulcuzon5892]

I think the falling damage would be negligible. You wouldn't be able to feel it anyway given you're already dead from the can.

[@InvisibleTacoMan]

@@jonpaulcuzon5892 Pretty sure the only reason the can half-decapitated the dummy was because of the fact that it was locked in place. If it weren't the damage to the head/neck wouldn't have been nearly as severe.

[@smith806]

Also the neck wouldnt have ripped open if it had the slack it needed

[@maxharkins4381]

Force follows stiffness, so if you get knocked back, it would be better and would reduce the chance you die. But the fall would still hurt.

[@lucykitsune4619]

You probably would get at least a concussion from falling backwards down the stairs, but hey at least the can would only break your nose, jaw and crack your skull instead of ripping open your neck and breaking your spine. You are VERY heavy compared to the paintcan. Every speed you pick up because of the paintcan makes the paintcan multiple times slower. You DEFINITELY have to go to the hospital after that but it is absolutely survivable.

Yeah, basically. The iron and the paint cans would do a lot more damage. Plus slipping on the ice, and having your head lit on fire with a blowtorch (yet somehow the curtains on that door didn't ignite).

Do not forget that the dummy was attached to the stairs.

[@BJJJUDO]

Revampedharpy09 don't forget about the backward fall down the stairs.

[@peger]

BJJJUDO I mean, that the head probably will not be decapitated. You end up with the broken nose, jaw, and with a concussion. You can also lose several teeth. Force of impact will send his body backward. The experiment had a significant flaw. Dummy was attached to the stairs and the body wouldn't be.

ILOVED THE HEAD PAINT CAN

[@TheChooseyourtempo]

The paint cans in the movie were used ones he found in the garage or basement. We should consider the paint cans were at least a quarter to half used, meaning they would be much lighter. This would still be painful, but not as damaging as your test suggests. With the crowbar to the chest, your test did not address the layers of clothing he was wearing. With a thick coat and sweater there would be some protection for the ribs.

[@ThiccInk]

The dummy on the stairs was a little inaccurate because of how he was screwed to the ground, not saying that he would survive if he wasn't just saying that his neck probably wouldn't have been ripped open.

[@spaghettimkay5795]

Ben Schaal Yeah, considering anyone would try to recoil back the second they saw it and would definitely be knocked back upon impact

[@MrAronJames88]

Ben Schaal and no muscle holding tissues and bone together 😒

[@RhodokTribesman]

The intertia of your body would mean that it wouldn't matter if the dummy was tied down. The muscle and connective tissue is a valid argument, but the force of the hit would still be the same (devastating)

[@errorcode1sm399]

Since the body didn't move the head took all the force, what I would have done to make it more relistic is to add weights so it is the same weight as a normal person, but that's not my buissness

[@Kasarii]

Another point I considered: Were the paint cans actually full? Most people I know don't stick a paint can in their basement/attic until they're done painting.

[@Ashley-ce3sc]

Adam Hope most, I'd not all, science classes in America use that. if we did anything that had yards, inches, etc it wouldn't count

[@R3_Live]

Anything in the US that actually matters uses the metric system. It's taught in schools throughout the country. The issue is that everyone is already well versed in the Imperial system. So for basic day-to-day activities, people tend to use Imperial measurements. In fact, it would be a pretty big economic and safety issue to suddenly stop using Imperial units.

[@tannerd5344]

Every science class I've been in since middle school has used the metric system exclusively. Also, doesn't scishow use the metric system?

[@parkerraines921]

[@britshgirl898]

Well actually if you are defending yourself from people IN your home you have the right to do what is necessary to keep you safe that includes if you kill them for example if they are chasing you will a crowbar and you shot them and they die it would be marked as self defense most likely with no jail time at all, although if they don't enter the house and are just on you property that would be a different story. But it depends on the state you are in if you would be tried in juvenile court or not, also it depends on the circumstances whether or not you are dismissed for self defense or not, also depending on if you were charged the circumstances would also take part in how long you would go to jail.
