the bit with Grant holding the vice grips saying "warning! warning!" is iconic

Rest in peace Grant Imahara

6:19 I love this glimpse into Jamie's soft side 😂I feel like comments like that would usually be cut to give him that dead pan robotic vibe that they like to portray him as but I'm glad they left that in.

[@borrero-md1196]

4:15 Jamie on the casting couch… ooookay hahaha

[@dantesbrissia9776]

That is one of the best science shows ever... And I really miss it. RIP Grant!

[@LS09God]

Thanks again. I'm enjoying every minute of this. Keep them coming. 👍 👍

9:16 that fireman standing on the right must play arrow roulette in his spare time.

[@TaikaJamppa]

WOOOO Another great episode! And just so happens, I'm playing a wild western game... 🤣

[@MrMarinus18]

That old ways jail is really over-the-top. Though if you consider the frontier status of California in the 1850's it make sense why. That jail was likely build to withstand an actual army trying to break people out.

I don’t know who you are, but I like you. Thanks for uploading this.

[@PlaidHiker]

Thanks for the upload. I was hit hard with nostalgia

[@gftftt8463]

Thanks! It's so hard to find MB's in KZbin these days

[@nikhilramphul2766]

Bring this show back put it on tv again

[@JackMacLupus]

Sorry, but i think without Grant it whouldnt be the same even when the other Mythbusters whould reunite.

[@pauljohnston3332]

9 times out of ten its quick hip fire in the movies and storys while the myth busters was shooting from shoulder hight. I wonder if the hip fire having a upward trajectory would have enough force to blow the hat of the head instead of shooting straight at it from the shoulder. They should re-test with the correct tragectory.

[@TocGan]

I think the same... plus... the bullet will hit the flat ring at the front, the force will be multiplied by the lever efect plus the bullet hitting the top of the hat... I'm pretty sure the hat will fly off...

[@sydm1073]

@@TocGan Unless the momentum of the bullet is great enough to just tear straight through the fabric, like what was happening in the show

[@SirHorned19]

I wonder if an old used hat would offer more resistance. If the fibers were saturated with oil or grease from your hair/skin or whatever, and then covered in sand and dirt. Another thing is the dummy they used. The head is too small so they stuffed the back with a wad of paper to keep the hat in place. And the dummy is presumably a rubbery gripping texture, where human hair would have a lot less friction.

[@Sassenhaim]

Go ahead punks , you made my day ❤

[@Notpoop906]

I know they said "don't try this at home" but I used to work in a car breakers yard and I got to set off a few airbags in my time 😂There's a myth around them setting themselves off if you leave them outside in a scrap pile because of moisture or something like that (not sure if I believe it) but that's why we would set them off before disposing of them and it also meant we could just put them with all the other scrap instead of having to take them to a special place. (probably the real reason we were setting them off tbh and not because they MIGHT set themselves off if left outside). It was good fun though. The seat belt ones are really interesting because they explode in a way that retracts the belt catch inside itself to tighten your seatbelt in the event of a crash.

[@michellem3050]

Did Mythbusters ever do a similar series of myths - driving through a metal gate, or a person diving through a plate glass window unharmed? I know in the movies they use 'candy glass' made of sugar.

[@HalNordmann]

They did the window thing once. Results were that an injury is likely, but not guaranteed

The makeshift jail could have had the individual beams pulled out of a full building, those steel beams altered the parameters. The full house for the TNT doesn't have a roof...

[@SimplyTakuma]

Grant laught at those air-bags...man i miss him.

[@Panthror]

I'm not convinced on the jail break. I feel the methods should be combined. Here's how I'd do it: You get your (in)mate to stand as far from the windowed wall as possible, then blow it, wrap a rope around the loosened bars, your mate grabs the bars and you pull him through with the horses. For it to be successful you'll have to move fast after the dynamite blows, because the bang will attract attention. And obviously your mate has to be able to fit through the hole, but I think it'd work. If anyone knows if they revisited this myth in another episode, I'd like to know which.

[@MrMarinus18]

Jamie also said that you could just use an axe to chip away at the wood and then pull them out. Also they showed how this was exclusively for a frontier jail. A state jail where they would lock up the people they considered truly dangerous you won't be getting through.

[@MrMarinus18]

Though that Monoray bay jail really was over-the-top. It likely was build by the federal government as California was taken by force from Mexico. It is one of the few states in the US that was taken by force by the federal government directly and not founded by settlers in any way. They likely build that fortress jail to with stand an assault by a Mexican army. It's origins being directly founded by the federal government itself is part of what makes California unique in it's development. That hasn't stopped BTW, California gets more government subsidies than any other state largely focused on Silicon valley. Silicon valley likes to pretend it's a tech center because of market capitalism but it really is just the federal government pouring in hundreds of billions to keep up American technological superiority.

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

Oh man, that's a brutal flinch at 11 minutes. Happens to all of us, but fortunately most of us ain't on camera. Really fun to watch, cheers for uploading this.

[@donaldcampbell3043]

Funny we never see the tech again...

[@kristianh.pedersen2]

You should have pulled at the middle of the bars, not the bottom, to create max bending moment. And only one bar at a time. The horsepulling myth is not busted.

[@andreasbdker4203]

Was thinking the exact same thing

[@patrickdoyle9369]

Why are they going to all the trouble of making a head, when they could just use a mannequin head. They're wasting time and money. Plus the cowboys had hair, the mould of the head will be helping to hold the hat in place without hair, not only that its more common that the rim gets shot not the crown. TIME INDEX 33;18 The PRAT WEARING THE YELLOW HAT, while trying to pull the bars out of the window is utterly thick, IF those bars fly out the hat won't save your face, the bar or bars will hit you and go straight through your mush. Whenever i have seen this done it was with horses and a wagon with a longer rope the horses pulling the wagon would get a good run before all the rope slack was gone and the force would YANK the bars clean out. These two are not very bright to say the least.

[@donaldcampbell3043]

Wasn't the most common hat the Bowler? The Stetson or 10 Gallon hat was a Hollywood myth(buster)

[@bcpatterson012]

I think I\d be under the Bed & Mattress when the Explosives go off on the Jail Bars...I just might survive...

Love Mythbusters, but ever since I´ve read that Jamie and Adam weren´t really friends I watch the show in a different way. Jamie looks like he wants to punch Adam in the face sometimes haha.

[@hanktrill]

They enjoyed being colleagues, just not friends. They worked very well together and both appreciate each other’s creativity.

[@victory-o4y]

i'v seen some guy shot a gun with his hat on and it when't flying

[@cybergeist8932]

And yet youtube will demonetize channels for 3 seconds of audio from lord of the rings -_-

[@NexisTube]

RIP Grant

[@JBFlytography]

Why not do one bar at a time…?

[@tylerminty1777]

The hat shooting was because the guy was kneeling while shooting the hat off the other guy...they did not do this here

[@jepjoson15]

You just forgot the hair

[@bskid1736]

Jesus try one bar or Just 2 bars instead of the 4 of them

[@TomKappeln]

[@Pleezath]

that was a real skull?

[@jianuflavian6451]

so nobody is gonna egnoledge that they use a real human skull ? that was a person ?

[@lukeirvine1386]

Human remains eventually completely break down and completely return to the Earth. Including bones. Only through specific techniques such as mummification can delay this process, they will eventually completely decompose too.

[@SpeedBrain666]

"Yee-Haw"

[@christopherdean1326]

Great fun as usual, but how can that guy claim the airbag is "in the car" not in the door? It's right there behind the door trim panel!

[@DJVisionMusic]

Well technically behind the door trim panel is still inside a car Airbagging away...

[@maymayman0]

I think what he meant was... the airbag faces the seats, and its located on the side of the door that is inside of the car. Its not inside the middle of the door where the window is, facing outwards -- its in the car, ON the inside-facing side of the door

[@stephenmoncrieff2056]

As a mechanic I already knew the lock pick and the kicking the door wasn't going to set off the airbag . Most side airbags are in the seats not doors . And a vehicle has multiple impact sensors and would need more than one triggered to set off the bags , as well as the speed of the vehicle needs to be above a set speed . They don't want bags going off with just a fender bender . They are expensive after all .

[@MrLikeaboss2012]

Why not do 1 bar at a time?

quite disrespectful to take a real skull

Also was a bit shocked but I guess it was a different time and the laws seems to allow it. Here in Germany I'm pretty sure you can't just go out and buy a human skull 😮
