Cup Vs Car Windscreen! | MythBusters | Season 7 Episode 7 | Full Episode

[@lunasrojas_]

That "featuring Jessi Combs" hits really different now. I remember when I was a kid, I was kinda sad to not see Kari in these episodes. Then a couple of years later I found out about Jessi when she broke the land speed class record the second time, not knowing she was the same one from Mythbusters. And I really started to admire her, because she was absolutely badass. Then when she had the accident I remember feeling it, and started searching a bit more about her, and found out she was this girl from mythbusters I never noticed almost, or didn't like. And this completely recontextualize all these episodes where she appears in, to me. She literally broke a damn world record 3 times. She is a perfect example of the insanely capable people that was involved with this show.

[@johnmadara1252]

yea she broke a whole lot more than a world record 💀

Even after all these years I still feel the pain of Tory's injury. What a legend!

I saw Tori's accident coming the second I saw the setup. How did nobody say: "Well maybe we should prevent someone from hitting that window ledge."

[@lordicarus8807]

Poor Tory, that must have hurt...

[@PanLukash]

I thought exactly the same

[@VeilingSun]

Producer might have wanted the shot from the window. Hope Jamie gave him or her an earful over sacrificing safety for slightly amusing shots.

[@c4sper877]

Dude, I literally just came down to the comments section to say the EXACT same thing!! It was OBVIOUS that was going to happen.

[@davidicke2415]

Tori was really lucky he didn't shatter his knee.

[@Wampa842]

12:16 brings back some memories. I used to work at National Instruments manufacturing. The 9234 was an infamous bastard. Getting those external coaxial connectors mounted to the PCB was an exercise in patience because we did it on the surface mounted assembly lines, but the mechanical support/ground leads had to go through holes, and none of the suppliers could be assed to make those leads within the tolerance required by the PCB. We ended up enlarging the holes by a factor of about 1.5 and mounting the connectors manually.

[@C4N4D1AN]

I like these guys. They dont just tell the myths, they put them to the test!

It's wierd to see Jessi Combs on these episodes.......but at least she will not be forgotten anytime soon.

[@Rando_Shyte]

I wish she had replaced Kari permanently, she has a way better "personality"

[@ichiroutakashima4503]

I love the older seasons because the narrator, as much as the show itself, are both completely unhinged. One of my favorite statements made by the narrator that goes somewhere along the lines of Jamie's specific finger that he uses to advise motorists while he's on the road, lol. I didn't get that when I was a kid, but now I fully understand it, lol.

[@slovnicurling9808]

What is your definition of older? This is season 7. If I was really really generous to you I would say this is halfway through the entire show. And that's huge reaching.

[@Myzelfa]

@@slovnicurling9808 A lot of people didn't see the first 4 seasons or so, and it was a much rougher production by comparison. I'm not sure when the show hit viral popularity, but it was probably around season 6 or 7, so for many viewers those are the early episodes to them.

[@blogdogs9462]

i just watched that episode lol

[@slovnicurling9808]

@@Myzelfa ok I understand but how does it make season 7 an "older episodes"? If I start watcing Game of thrones from season 8 does it makes it older episodes? Doesn't make sense to me. But I guess this is one of the youtube comments where I just roll my eyes and move on. Not a hill I want to die on.

[@paulopopoto21]

Jamie had to bust out the Junk Jet for this one

[@ileolai]

the bone crunching sound effect they added to tory's injury was horrible, lmao

[@DepressyDuck]

Regarding the "hanging on" myth, in what movie has the protagonist had to hang off a ledge indefinitely? It's rare a scene like that goes in for longer than a minute, so why were the conditions of the myth "hang on indefinitely"?

[@thegreenengineer7994]

fun to see these old episodes, considering that just one year later here alredy styrofom cups were illegal :;)

[@SyntheticFuture]

I love how they didn't make a small containment area around the impact zone but just went "nah whatever, splatter all the soda over the entire shop, who caaaaares" xD That plastic they put up was really inadequate. Mythbusters is such a gem for just doing this weird shit in weird ways :D

[@matthewlo7868]

Ah yes… The episode where Tory got his leg f’d up hitting a ledge… OUCH. Oh, and before I forget… RIP Grant Imahara and RIP Jessi Combs. PS - Looks like I’m first to the party. 🙂

[@myztklk3v]

I've been binging these episodes as they've been going up on youtube and there were other episodes at this location where I was like "oh this is where Tory banged his leg on the ledge" him getting hurt were the most memorable parts of the show from when I watched them as a teen. Sure there are other moments too, but that shit makes me wince every time.

[@rafael_lana]

[@rafael_lana]

​@@Joyful_Traitor i bet they wanted the angle from inside the window, and thought the ropes would stop him a little higher.

[@dna2805]

"You ready for 2 inches?" :)

[@-danR]

The half-inch grip is really dangerous, btw, unless expert rockclimbers. The curvature of the fingers can cause "bowstring" failures, where the tendons rip from their moorings and go straight. I've come close to it myself. It was painful for weeks. I guess that's why Grant let go almost immediately, not because of slippage. His nerves were sending him a message: we're outa here, stat.

[@NorrisHistoryCorner]

The only time in history where a woman has been impressed with half an inch and 14 seconds...

[@sour_lemon27]

my biological dad is a survivor of the "beverage vs windshield" myth. at the age of 18 he was sitting on the copilot seat while on the highway and a drunk guy threw a glass bottle of beer at the windshield, i dont know much of the details except that they all thought he was dead/got shot in the face, his face was entirely covered in pouring blood but in the end he lost all of his teeth in his mouth. makes me wonder how much of the bottle actually penetrated the windshield because its a fact it shattered on impact aswell.

[@Ringo_Overcast]

Me and my Dad used to watch Mythbusters religiously when it was on Tv

[@gorgha3988]

Jfc. I swear when Tori smashed his shin, I felt it. I was surprised when they decided to continue the test in the same location. Window or no window.

Why is the narrator coming from the left. Is the audio mix broken or was it always like this?

[@wingerding]

Lets increase their anxiety to max levels by including a 99.99 safe harness rig.

[@milymentalist]

If only that episode released a few years back, we could've had a bean game crossover

[@SeraphineTheD6Queen]

the worst part of tory's shinjury was that they could have done that test mere inches off the ground (and not directly near concrete), the effects of gravity are no different at the two heights, and there is an almost zero % chance of injury on the lower height hang...

[@L4nd0C4lr1s14n]

Almost guaranteed they did it at a height like that to be gripping for the audience. While irresponsible, choices like this are what make or break a show a lot of the time.

[@erikruder3360]

They did explain why they did it from an actual height, for the adrenaline boost. Now that might be a bogus explanation but I'm surprised you didn't notice it.

[@polarwolf721]

I remember watching this as a kid and getting annoyed they didn't test different ice types or a drink with all the ice frozen together, they always didn't test enough basic stuff.

[@rafael_lana]

Tbf they were on a very tight format, between the ads, action shots, narrator antics etc there's not enough time to expand on initial testing.

[@maxbracegirdle9990]

That doesnt matter though, even if thats not corrected for in the test, if you double the outcome of all of them, you're still gonna find the hardest one. That wasnt the experiment, so its not against the myth.

I find it weird that the pure soda was the lightest. I mean ice is less dense than water so I would think the one without ice would be the heaviest.

[@genie1394]

Maybe the cups haven’t been filled to the exact same volume. That could explain it. Otherwise I would also expect the cup with pure soda to be the heaviest since it should have the highest density.

[@rafael_lana]

That's an elementary understanding of physics (not trying to be a jerk I promise) because it assumes all objects are "perfect" in transferring momentum like they teach you in school. Truth is adding liquid gives more of the solid bits an opportunity to transfer energy before "bouncing off". Im not using plasticity here bc as far as I remember it only applies to solids.
