[@Turboginge]

Flick the whip underhanded, wrap around the log the other way. That way as you swing, it tightens its grip, rather than pulling itself loose.

[@PollokPoochesDogWalking]

And don't swing like a child on a rope swing. Swing like a commando climbing a rope. Reach right up with the top hand

[@keiranp0dbenn559]

​@@PollokPoochesDogWalking -👌👍👍👍 Ahh! Yah beat me to it!! As you say, Tension is how the whip Stays Gripped, therefore; Get the Whip grip; Start the jump with a strong pull down; Reach Up with the Stronger ✋️ hand to keep the 'downwards' pressure/tension; as the feet near the opposite "ledge", let go of the upper hand grip to let your body 'lengthen' - and.... Don't forget the obligatory "Tarzan Yell" as you swing!! "AWWAYAHhh, OiY00!!" 🫣! 😮! 😂 😂 😂 Slán, 😃👏☘️P0D🍀👌😉

[@christianellegaard7120]

The delay makes perfect sense, if he was running in the other direction. If the temple builders weren't completely stupid, they would have set the darts to aim a bit ahead of each pressure pad

@@christianellegaard7120 if the darts are set ahead of the palettes, you would need only to step and patiently wait for them to discharge in front of you. if they were serious about killing intruders the pads would be set up to a random sequence of forward and backward arrows. the whole doesnt make sense though unless they never wanted to enter their own tomb. like its clearly some kind of idol being proudly displayed, unless there's some sort of off switch or they avoid all the tiles every time they enter for worship haha

[@KanuckStreams]

"I would go straight for the face." Yeah, that's a totally valid target. Larger than a hand, and even if you didn't hit them (which could easily blind) you VERY likely would cause them to flinch which would give you time to follow-up.

[@quasarulas3968]

yeah the whole whip disarm thing seems somewhat impractical but totally plausible from the start. if you're in range the only question is who's faster to the draw

[@redshirt49]

The real question is, can you whip faster than the other guy can shoot you? After all, that's where most disarming techniques stumble and fall. Looks cool and practical in theory, right until you consider the fact the other guy can shoot/stab you a damn sight quicker than it takes for you to do your fancy move.

[@skilletborne]

Based on my experience in dangerous situations, that's not stopping anyone with a little adrenaline or intent in their system. I don't care how deep it cuts, unless you actually blind them fully, you're just getting shot by a guy who's more angry and bloody than he'd otherwise be

[@EddyScbr]

Man, this season was so weird, with its bigger focus on coming off as a serious documentary - even the narration is lacking in energy and, of course, in puns. Still cool to watch, since it's Mythbusters anyway, but there's a "spark" of fun missing, with the overly-serious presentation, the lack of the Build Team, the occasional overly-self-serious visuals...

[@SiegmundFretzgau]

Rating were dropping, the most interesting myths were already done, so they tried to change it up and get viewers back (new presentation, focus on movie/TV myths and guest stars).

[@fellipec]

Yes is really weird

[@galahadortiz3258]

It feels really low energy.

[@scrivener68]

Cant wait for a ton of other episodes i either didnt see yet or didnt see since a LONG time. Super happy about them on KZbin, thx. I was kinda scared in the beginning, because i have never seen them in the original language, but they are even better and i do understand easily enough.

[@lip03pd]

You can really see Adams evolution in the later series of MB, very much his current Tested style, which I love!

[@CreativeWorkflowHack]

damn seeing adamn so happy about his wip makes me happy too, i wish i had something like that

[@AmarothEng]

Given that the dart pads are about 40'' (101.6cm) long, to get out of them before they trigger after 1s, all you have to do is run at 1m/s (in reality, even slower will do, more on that later). That is 3.6km/h. For reference, pretty much anyone can run 6 times faster. Delay 0.05s would on paper mean you'd have to run at 72km/h, but in reality, there is some delay in the pressure plate, wiring, in the solenoid, and most importantly before the ball actually gets to travel from its initial position to the point of possible impact. If all of that takes say 0.15s in total, you can still outrun the thing at 24km/h speed (which is totally doable for most people).

[@kkumi1782]

Or, crawl...

The last seasons really had some amazing technical side to them, albeit the M7 team is missed (I could also swear the Simpsons special came before this one, but I guess copyright issues ensued).

[@didgereemedia194]

The fact they've clocked a whip crack at over the speed of sound, means that just about every whip crack ever heard are possibly all at or above the speed of sound!

[@VitoFur]

That’s how whip cracks work. They break the sound barrier causing a supersonic boom, just like a fighter jet

[@Si74l0rd]

The whip is tapered, so the wave moving down it speeds up as it gets closer to the tip, which means by the time it gets to the tip it's moving incredibly fast. Just like thunder is the sound of lightning, the crack is the tip of the whip breaking the sound barrier and making a small scale sonic boom.

[@zekionmj1069]

Love the hat.

[@larryboyd1872]

I believe that the chasm jump would have worked without the added sandpaper if a different technique was used for the actual jump. What he did in the jump was pull BACK and apply full weight to the whip. What would have worked would be to try a full jump over the chasm, only using the whip for that last little bit of support needed to reach that distance. Another technique that would easily have worked, is to just forget about the whip and superman across the chasm. Its not that big of a distance.

[@quasarulas3968]

that whip cracking gun disarm seemed completely plausible from the get go. surprised they tested it on themselves seems somewhat dangerous

[@d4slaimless]

Feels weird with Jamie and Adam talking a lot instead of narrator. And while the absence of the Build-team is disappointing, there is one good thing about it that I noticed. There is no back and forth between Team A - Team B and so much less repetitions of what they are trying to do. It was something really annoying. They still found ways to pad the runtime though ). But in general I like this episode.

I used to watch MythBusters on TV until I was about 18 (2008), so I did not see this episode and many of the ones before it on TV. Call me old fashioned if you want, but the reformatting of the Mythbusters show does not appeal to me. It becomes more of a focus on the building of the project rather than the testing of the myth. There is more video on what Adam and Jamie were doing to build it rather than the science and engineering behind what was being done. The film seems to run slower and more casual than the earlier seasons. I perhaps would have enjoyed it more if it ran for half the time per episode rather than nearly an hour. Feel free to disagree with me, but I don't like this episode.
