[@andrew-np6sv]

As I remember Season 13. We were testing the saying, "Blow the boat out of the water." A WWII saying when a ship was destroyed by a mine or torpedo. We started by building a few 1/48th scale models of the JFK Pt boat (s) and a lexan/steel water tank, maybe 100 gals. With cherry bombs suspended with string at different depths below the model in the water, seeing how the explosive effected the boat model at the different depths. And filming the explosions with some really nice high def/speed cameras. As I remember, the explosion followed the string, because it's different than water and usually went up, less pressure than down. But! when the cherry bomb was put on the bottom of the tank, the explosive forces de-laminated and un-glued the tank and water rushed out and was coming out of the shop on to the sidewalk/driveway. End of tank. Then a two story tall motor boat war procured in Sac. (Next to an old Air Force base, where fire fighting planes were stationed) All the guts were removed, top half of boat cut off, and hull painted orange. I still have orange solvent based paint on my boots. The two boat parts were now of proper size to be shipped on two trailers to Ione CA. An old quarry, now filled with water, near where the cement truck was blown up, was used for the shoot. The boat was put back together with sheet rock screws and floated in the water. A pallet of the explosive."ANFO" was placed by Jamie, in this plastic watertite ball and sunk / attached to the bottom of the boat with rope. Afew trys later, the remote fuses didn't work. So old school fuse was used. I was sitting in a fire truck about 100 yards away. The explosion blew the boat to bits, with a water spout a few 100 feet tall. Pretty cool. Divers went down to see the wreckage, but deemed it to be too dangerous , sharp bits and low viability. We were allowed to leave the sunken bits but had to clean up everything floating or in the surrounding area. We had a pontoon boat, of questionable ownership, and for more than 2 days picked up boat parts, filling a 40 yard dumpster and more. A paint roller, with extension handle worked best to fish boat parts out of the water. A pool screen failed after a few min. I think they filmed both success and failure videos. The boat definitely blew out of the water, but in 2 and then 10,000 pieces. Was a lot of work but very cool. Makes a great story. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to work on the Show and still have the Leatherman "Wave" that Adam gave me at the Wrap Party.

[@aceofarrows]

MythBusters: "If you decide to use the slide, and somehow get hurt, you're to know Workman's Comp won't cover it. Just saying." The Entire Crew: "Frick it, we ball - we ain't gettin' another opportunity like this." I love it. _Edited to reference Workman's Comp instead of just saying "our insurance." That wasn't the point of the comment, but I was rightly corrected._

[@user-fk8zw5js2p]

Workman's comp wont cover it, but their own health insurance would, combined with a once in a lifetime water slide opportunity makes the crews' actions almost guaranteed. Even the insurance company knew it was going to happen, given the details or possibly because they've seen it before, so they gave explicit warnings to deter, but to mainly put distance between any notions of coverage and any likely accidents that would result from the inevitable.

I have not seen the Wick movies, but the description reminds me of the climax of Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man, where the badguys wore these long leather jackets (not unlike the later Matrix movies), and withstood bullets. That image looked so cool to me, it was also the reason why i loved the looks of a game called Syndicate, that uses a group of 4 cyborgs in long leather jackets to complete secret agent missions.

[@DarkLord-7]

I remember the video you're talking about, Adam. Hacksmith. They recreated the bullet-proof suit to the best of their ability and budget. It'll prevent bullets from going into you, but the drawback is you're still gonna break ribs and your insides are gonna be so rattled from the shockwave that you'd likely die anyway. Basically their argument being that the energy has to go somewhere. The bullet proof vests that law enforcement uses as well as the military, they're meant to absorb the energy and have it spread out, doing minimal damage. A tuxedo with bullet-proof lining would realistically not have that kind of benefit, so all the energy is going into one spot. That said, if you were to test that, I definitely would be interested to see it, especially if you ended up with a different result.

[@buzzsawgr81]

I think the video you mentioned about the guys trying to create a bulletproof suit was the same one I saw. spoilers: they succeeded, somewhat. I think they were able to stop small caliber pistol rounds and birdshot (possibly buckshot too), but I think they stopped there cause the suit would've become too cumbersome had they made it thick enough to stop larger calibers. but yeah, with the connections you guys had for the show, it woulda been great to have seen you guys give it a go.

[@checkmate058]

I would of liked a 2nd Video Games Myth episode. Stealth Games have some interesting mechanic tropes. Crouching for sneak mode and hiding in shadows and distraction devices and uniform disguises.

[@The_Keeper]

5:55 Didn't the Hacksmith do those..? As far as I recall, they made a functional jacket. And it was about as comfortable to wear as you'd think, that being not at all. I mean, it works on a catch-the-projectile level, but like all soft armor, you're still taking a LOT of kinetic energy.

To clarify what the disposal does: the outer edge is a big cheese grater type of thing, just metal with punched holes. What spins are specially shaped pinball paddle looking things that bounce the food waste into the walls at a variety of angles. It will break AND cut up your fingers if on. Without spinning, just a 90 degree metal edge kind of cutting.

[@MagusDouken]

I know this may seem random, but one movie myth I had come into my head was Home Alone. IIRC the scene, the kid sets up a blow torch on a door knob, and it caused the knob n the other end to glow red hot. There are many parts to a knob, so how much heat would transfer over to the other knob to cause physical harm, if it even could in a single tank of gas, or would the gas run out before then or the other side start to break from the constant heat. Would there be any risk to the door the knob is connected to?

[@jasonfabrick9308]

I'm surprised on the Waterslide that no one thought to make the slide a shallow V rather than flat to keep the slider centered.

[@patrickdix772]

While that's a shape that would work, it would also be incredibly difficult to build safely on a budget. A water park uses formed fiber glass sections to make a curved shape for their slides to achieve that, but that obviously costs more and is more permanent. To build that shape (or just a v shape) out of plywood, carpet, and the vinyl sheet is certainly possible, but adds a lot of cost, time, and risk. The cost and time are pretty obvious (more materials and work needed), but the risk is less so. When you have a construction you're sliding down like that, if something goes wrong and part of it fails what happens? In the case of one or both sides failing, the best case scenario is the person continues without issues, but they're also pretty likely to get injured by either being launched off the slide or striking the section right after the broken section. I feel like the method they used was a compromise of the best safety and keeping close to the video they were replicating. The video had a flat slide, so making it a v or curved shape is a change. Arguably part of the myth is if a person could do the sliding and still be accurate. Additionally, they did add in a method to help keep people on the slide. They used a landscaping berm thing to create sides while keeping the center flat. This gave some protection from going off the slide while also being simple and relatively cheap to implement.

Tazers fire sharp electrodes that actually puncture the skin, so a jacket as a Faraday cage wouldn't have much effect unless it could keep the barbs from entering the body. And you wouldn't necessarily need a jacket made of conductive material, just something sturdy enough. Carhartt overalls might surprisingly be strong enough. I like the way your brain is going, though! Faraday clothes would be something fun to play around with. The more times people use the name Faraday in a sentence, the better, IMO. One of the greatest scientists ever.

Sounds like we need a mythbusters reboot just to test the john wick stuff

[@robadams1645]

A Mythbusters reboot is like a Firefly reboot. We all think it should happen but we'd all hate it if they did it. The shows existed in their own moment and that moment can't be recreated. Management would be all up in it and it would be a travesty.

I wonder if the reason insurance wouldn’t cover it was because you rendered it technically safe, but if they said so then people would use it more than they normally would, which would create the actual safety issue.

Why not do a one-off Mythbusters style KZbin special for John Wick fabrics? I think many of us would love to see that!

Hacksmith has a bulletproof suit they made, inspired by John Wick.

Dear Mr. Adam, i was wondering hearing your story how beautiful your telling it. I noticed you breath in with your mouth while talking. I've come to conclude yawning through the nose is healthy and our mouth inhales/exhales should be reserved. But i'm just Steven. Sincerely

I still think the best bit of "Waterslide" was when Adam dropped that roll of duct tape....
