I realise that "don't try this at home" often seems like a ridiculous thing to say, but there are folks of all ages watching this. I don't want to even slightly risk someone imitating this without all the professional teams around. With that said: thank you to all those professionals, and thank you to JP and Tommy for setting up the narrative! They've got a whole gunfight on their channel using practical effects, which is definitely worth a watch.

I really enjoyed that too. But do you know why they did that? I don't think they explained that part of the procedure in the vid, or else I've missed it.

[@anthonycastanon6281]

@@Hirosjimma purely guessing here, but it's to take him to fresh air and away from any possible danger, including reignition

[@Leo0718]

​@@Hirosjimma You'll notice they were followed by a paramedic and two, new and different, fire extinguishers. If anything went wrong, any piece of fire wasn't off, undetonated pyros in-doors, Tom got injured or burned, or in general any unpleasantry; It is safer and easier to attend to it outside at a secondary location, were the building won't caught on fire, there's natural light to see what's going on, they're one step away from jumping into a car or ambulance, etc. There's a lot that could go wrong, Tom might not feel injuries or burns due to adrenaline, fire might not be fully off, some fires are not visible and they wouldn't notice until they felt it burning. It's just overall easier and safer to deal with unforeseen accidents away from the set and outside. But it's part of the standard procedure so you don't have to come up with the best idea in a panicked craze, instead its just part of what you normally always do, so if the worse happens you're already doing the things that saves the stunt life out of habit.

Brilliant acting, really had me sold on the role of "fire extinguisher."

[@sumurai8]

16:00 One of the most important lessons in this video is that when there are (safety) procedures to follow, you follow them without taking any shortcuts. They are crafted in a much longer time than the split second decision you want to make. They are there so things are predictable, and to bring something that might be chaotic into a stable state. Deviating from safety procedures adds cognitive load on others, and might make a situation worse than it otherwise would have been.

With some videos I feel more and more like this channel is Tom having a Midlife Crisis and decided to just go full tilt into trying anything and everything different. But I also just love Tom doing all these different things!

[@ejasmith]

I mean he's already fine zero-g flight, a trip on an icebreaker and also the red arrows so has done more than most will in thier lives, so the only way is more fire and danger it seems!

[@sponge1234ify]

He's already a criminal who flew a kite in a public place; might as well put the danger in this time

[@1draigon]

the ending was amazing. the whole team did all to make you as secure as possible and even rushed you straight into the open air! amazing protection

[@swissbulgarianprod]

Tom Scott will answer the questions and do the things we didn’t know we wanted to see or learn, but we are happy regardless

[@eggsarny]

Tom 5 months ago: I don't like coffee. Tom now: I want to be set on fire

[@BunkerFox]

Never thought I'd see Tom Scott work with Benedict Cumberbatch

[@RuthTheBananaDuck]

Everything about this video is so wonderful. all the team's dedication to safety, the enthusiasm for what's happening--I love it so much. This channel was 120% a good idea and i am so glad i'm here to see it

[@ZNotFound]

Tom Scott is LIT.

[@TheAlcoholic27]

I don't care how many professionals or levels of safety there are, doing this still takes more fortitude than I'll ever have.

[@TheCheesyNachos]

this channel is just early tom scott energy but with more budget

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

He's realized his true potential.

[@morsine]

Love the fact that the guy actually makes fire extinguisher sounds.

[@ALZulas]

I just want to say that the colored closed captions are really nice! You can always tell who's talking! Thank you for the upgraded CC's!

[@Fir3Chi3f]

I really appreciate how many times they have to practice such a seemingly simple stunt. It's easy to imagine how quickly something like this can go wrong.

[@Stormfox93]

This is exactly something I never expected you to do. Very cool!

[@BlackHayateTheThird]

The expert fire stunt handler was so excellent at taking control and making sure you were safe Tom!

[@DrTomFox]

"I'm good! I'm good!" "Outside. Don't care."

[@heathwellsNZ]

Wow, Dean Forster just exudes reassurance and professionalism. What a legend!

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

9:42 Tom putting his hand in a wallaby’s pouch? NO, WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, IT’S FULL OF *GOO!!!*

[@scottwardxthexmighty]

I love them taking him outside Tom: I'm good, I'm good Tech guy : ok, outside, don't care, outside

[@catriona3279]

Tom a few months ago: I wanna learn to ride a bike and drink coffee Tom today: FIRE!!!!!

[@CreamyItalian]

Wants to be set on fire but shutters at the thought of going on a roller coaster. You are a very unique person, Tom Scott. Much respect to you.

[@klemo2529]

I never expected Tom Scott and Benedict Cumberbatch filming a video

[@dermathze700]

The resemblance really is uncanny.

[@sodiboo]

15:34 wow what a seamless cut from such casual talking to a shot where he's holding his breath and drenched in weird safety gel

[@slothrr776]

Don't be rude.

[@Hygix_]

They really are professional, I respect them, you know they taking this seriously just by their simple action

[@UKuleleRichard]

Possibly the best Tom Scott thumbnail ever
