1
00:00:01,796 --> 00:00:03,787
It may not look like it,
but we're professionals.
2
00:00:03,864 --> 00:00:05,331
Do us a favor.
3
00:00:05,399 --> 00:00:07,765
Don't try this at home!
Whoa!
4
00:00:07,835 --> 00:00:10,599
On this episode
of "Mythbusters"...
5
00:00:10,671 --> 00:00:13,333
Jamie, don't jump.
You have so much to live for.
6
00:00:13,407 --> 00:00:15,841
...Adam and Jamie
take out the trash...
7
00:00:15,910 --> 00:00:17,377
Those things
will get ya.
8
00:00:17,445 --> 00:00:18,434
Ow!
9
00:00:18,512 --> 00:00:19,979
...as they test the movie myth
10
00:00:20,047 --> 00:00:22,072
of a dumpster-diving
escape...
11
00:00:22,149 --> 00:00:23,639
A perfect 10!
12
00:00:23,718 --> 00:00:25,777
...and find out
if legging it
13
00:00:25,853 --> 00:00:29,289
after a "trash" landing
is legit.
14
00:00:30,658 --> 00:00:31,955
...Nice job.
... Thank you.
15
00:00:32,026 --> 00:00:35,553
Meanwhile, Kari, Tory, and Grant
go off the deep end...
16
00:00:36,897 --> 00:00:39,195
...with a "ye olde"
diving myth.
17
00:00:39,266 --> 00:00:40,494
Time to go divin'.
18
00:00:40,568 --> 00:00:43,002
Could an
air-supply failure up top...
19
00:00:43,070 --> 00:00:44,867
You're kidding me.
This is working?
20
00:00:44,939 --> 00:00:49,933
...spell a spectacular squeeze
and certain death down below?
21
00:00:51,112 --> 00:00:52,909
Oh! Look at what's happening
to his head!
22
00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:54,379
Yeah!
23
00:00:57,251 --> 00:00:59,515
Who are the Mythbusters?
24
00:00:59,587 --> 00:01:00,747
Adam savage...
25
00:01:00,821 --> 00:01:02,152
I feel
perfectly normal
26
00:01:02,223 --> 00:01:03,383
...and Jamie Hyneman.
27
00:01:03,457 --> 00:01:04,822
Pain is your friend.
28
00:01:04,892 --> 00:01:09,829
Between them, more than 30 years
of special-effects experience.
29
00:01:09,897 --> 00:01:11,762
Joining them...
30
00:01:11,832 --> 00:01:13,265
...Grant Imahara...
31
00:01:13,334 --> 00:01:14,392
Burn!
32
00:01:14,468 --> 00:01:15,400
...Kari Byron...
33
00:01:15,469 --> 00:01:16,936
And I'm starting
to get the idea
34
00:01:17,004 --> 00:01:18,266
that this shouldn't
be done inside.
35
00:01:18,339 --> 00:01:19,670
...Tory Belleci...
36
00:01:20,808 --> 00:01:23,038
...and featuring Jessi Combs.
37
00:01:23,110 --> 00:01:24,372
That was awesome!
38
00:01:24,445 --> 00:01:27,243
They don't just tell
the myths.
39
00:01:28,549 --> 00:01:31,017
They put them to the test.
40
00:01:39,460 --> 00:01:44,022
First up, Adam and Jamie
dive into a film fable.
41
00:01:44,098 --> 00:01:46,191
So I hear you have
a movie myth for us.
42
00:01:46,267 --> 00:01:47,256
I do, old bean.
43
00:01:48,269 --> 00:01:50,931
It seems that within
the logic of an action movie,
44
00:01:51,005 --> 00:01:52,233
any building
can be escaped from
45
00:01:52,306 --> 00:01:54,934
by handily jumping into
a dumpster parked next to it.
46
00:01:55,009 --> 00:01:58,172
Hop out, dust yourself off
and walk away unharmed.
47
00:01:58,245 --> 00:02:00,713
Well, that sounds
like rubbish.
48
00:02:00,781 --> 00:02:02,612
It's an action-movie cliché.
49
00:02:02,683 --> 00:02:06,050
After a roof runaround
with nowhere else to go,
50
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,386
a dive into a dumpster equals
a guaranteed getaway.
51
00:02:10,458 --> 00:02:13,791
But can you really get up and go
every time
52
00:02:13,861 --> 00:02:16,193
after a "trash" landing?
53
00:02:16,263 --> 00:02:18,094
So, how is this
gonna go down?
54
00:02:18,165 --> 00:02:20,656
Well, I figure that any line
of investigation we pursue
55
00:02:20,734 --> 00:02:22,634
is ultimately
hopefully gonna end
56
00:02:22,703 --> 00:02:25,103
with one of us
leaping into a dumpster.
57
00:02:25,172 --> 00:02:26,332
So first things first.
58
00:02:26,407 --> 00:02:29,035
I think we need to be trained
how to fall safely.
59
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:30,668
I think we need to call
60
00:02:30,744 --> 00:02:32,473
one of the stuntmen we know
to teach us.
61
00:02:32,546 --> 00:02:34,138
Well, I guess it's time
to jump right in, huh?
62
00:02:34,215 --> 00:02:35,807
All right.
63
00:02:37,885 --> 00:02:40,319
Yep, this myth
can only end one way...
64
00:02:40,387 --> 00:02:42,787
with an actual dumpster dive.
65
00:02:42,857 --> 00:02:47,191
And to make sure our Mythbusters
will live to bust another day,
66
00:02:47,261 --> 00:02:50,822
it's off to Treasure Island
for Stunt-Falling 101.
67
00:02:50,898 --> 00:02:53,423
So in our ongoing training
to be action-movie heroes,
68
00:02:53,501 --> 00:02:56,664
we are about to learn
how to take a high fall safely.
69
00:02:56,737 --> 00:02:59,763
And this is the building
we're gonna start with.
70
00:03:01,008 --> 00:03:03,533
This is the air bag
that's gonna break our fall.
71
00:03:03,611 --> 00:03:05,408
And this...
72
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,004
...is the guy
that's gonna train us.
73
00:03:08,082 --> 00:03:11,711
That's Randy Lamb,
stunt coordinator and fall guy.
74
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:15,015
Oh, this is cool
in here!
75
00:03:15,089 --> 00:03:16,351
As Jamie said,
76
00:03:16,423 --> 00:03:18,948
they're not starting
on the dumpsters just yet.
77
00:03:19,026 --> 00:03:20,516
First there's this.
78
00:03:22,129 --> 00:03:24,927
How does this
air bag work, you ask?
79
00:03:24,999 --> 00:03:28,992
Well, it's called a two-stage
air bag, and it works thusly.
80
00:03:29,069 --> 00:03:32,334
The first stage, this top part,
slows you down by popping,
81
00:03:32,406 --> 00:03:35,239
by opening through this very
portal that I climbed out of.
82
00:03:35,309 --> 00:03:38,039
The second stage,
that bottom layer, stops you.
83
00:03:38,112 --> 00:03:40,580
It does not deflate.
84
00:03:40,648 --> 00:03:43,139
And that's key,
85
00:03:43,217 --> 00:03:47,313
because the name of this game
is deceleration.
86
00:03:47,388 --> 00:03:49,879
Like they say, it's not the fall
that kills you,
87
00:03:49,957 --> 00:03:51,322
it's the sudden stop.
88
00:03:51,392 --> 00:03:54,054
A jump from a height
onto a hard surface
89
00:03:54,128 --> 00:03:56,653
will bring you to a stop
very quickly.
90
00:03:56,730 --> 00:04:00,166
And it's this sudden impact
that is potentially fatal.
91
00:04:00,234 --> 00:04:04,728
But landing on a soft surface
maximizes deceleration,
92
00:04:04,805 --> 00:04:07,069
dissipating impact
over a longer time,
93
00:04:07,141 --> 00:04:08,870
reducing the risk of injury.
94
00:04:08,943 --> 00:04:11,503
Randy, Falling 101.
What do we have to know?
95
00:04:11,579 --> 00:04:12,876
When you jump,
96
00:04:12,947 --> 00:04:15,177
you want to make sure
that you land flat on your back
97
00:04:15,249 --> 00:04:17,183
and use up as much volume
as possible.
98
00:04:17,251 --> 00:04:18,650
Awesome!
Can we get started?
99
00:04:18,719 --> 00:04:19,947
Sure.
Who wants to go first?
100
00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:21,385
Me!
I want to go first.
101
00:04:21,455 --> 00:04:23,980
Is that okay if I go first?
Can I go first? Is that cool?
102
00:04:24,058 --> 00:04:25,525
...Yay.
... All right. Follow me.
103
00:04:25,593 --> 00:04:26,719
Unsurprisingly,
104
00:04:26,794 --> 00:04:30,230
Adam is falling over himself
to get started.
105
00:04:30,297 --> 00:04:31,559
Less is more.
106
00:04:31,632 --> 00:04:33,395
Yeah, it's a lot higher now,
isn't it?
107
00:04:33,467 --> 00:04:34,593
All right.
Here we go.
108
00:04:34,668 --> 00:04:35,965
But at a height of 13 feet,
109
00:04:36,036 --> 00:04:38,300
getting the technique right
is vital.
110
00:04:38,372 --> 00:04:41,170
...Place your left foot right here.
... All right.
111
00:04:41,242 --> 00:04:43,107
Now, you're gonna take
one giant step out
112
00:04:43,177 --> 00:04:45,702
and lay back just like
you were laying into a recliner.
113
00:04:51,952 --> 00:04:52,919
Perfect.
114
00:04:55,456 --> 00:04:57,185
Wow!
115
00:04:57,258 --> 00:04:58,589
That's cool!
116
00:04:58,659 --> 00:05:02,755
And if at first you succeed,
why not go again?
117
00:05:02,830 --> 00:05:04,798
And again.
118
00:05:04,865 --> 00:05:06,924
And again.
119
00:05:07,001 --> 00:05:08,798
It looked like
you did it perfectly.
120
00:05:08,869 --> 00:05:10,564
With that
out of his system...
121
00:05:10,638 --> 00:05:12,162
That was awesome!
122
00:05:12,239 --> 00:05:13,831
Don't look now,
but there's a Hyneman
123
00:05:13,907 --> 00:05:16,842
on the roof of that building,
and I think he's gonna jump.
124
00:05:16,910 --> 00:05:20,437
Jamie, don't jump.
You have so much to live for.
125
00:05:24,285 --> 00:05:28,483
You know, it's a little
bit of a jolt, but it works.
126
00:05:29,623 --> 00:05:33,389
Much better. Excellent.
127
00:05:33,460 --> 00:05:35,587
I think you guys have both
got this height down.
128
00:05:35,663 --> 00:05:37,153
Awesome!
'Cause I want to go higher.
129
00:05:37,231 --> 00:05:39,199
...Can we go higher?
... Let's go.
130
00:05:39,266 --> 00:05:42,292
Yep, it's as easy
as moving the air bag
131
00:05:42,369 --> 00:05:43,563
to a new location.
132
00:05:43,637 --> 00:05:45,195
Or is it?
133
00:05:45,272 --> 00:05:46,762
Well, we're about to
bump it up a notch.
134
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:47,807
And make no mistake...
135
00:05:47,875 --> 00:05:49,740
when you're looking down
at that bag,
136
00:05:49,810 --> 00:05:52,677
there's a pretty big difference
between 13 feet...
137
00:05:55,149 --> 00:05:56,741
...and 20 feet.
138
00:05:56,817 --> 00:06:01,220
The stakes just went up,
and so did my adrenaline level.
139
00:06:02,189 --> 00:06:03,315
And this time,
140
00:06:03,390 --> 00:06:06,621
Jamie's drawn the short straw
to jump first.
141
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,074
Advertise your product or brand here
contact www.OpenSubtitles.org today
142
00:06:15,936 --> 00:06:18,131
Perfect!
143
00:06:18,205 --> 00:06:19,263
How you feeling?
144
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:21,865
That was no worse
than the smaller one.
145
00:06:21,942 --> 00:06:23,239
Cool.
146
00:06:23,310 --> 00:06:25,175
My turn!
147
00:06:29,416 --> 00:06:30,974
Perfect.
148
00:06:34,254 --> 00:06:35,721
Perfect!
149
00:06:35,789 --> 00:06:37,313
...Nice job.
... How'd that feel?
150
00:06:37,391 --> 00:06:38,756
Felt great.
151
00:06:38,826 --> 00:06:40,851
And now that both the guys
152
00:06:40,928 --> 00:06:43,795
have mastered the art
of falling from a great height,
153
00:06:43,864 --> 00:06:45,855
they can get their hands dirty.
154
00:06:45,933 --> 00:06:47,457
I think
I'm getting this down.
155
00:06:47,534 --> 00:06:48,728
I think you are.
156
00:06:48,802 --> 00:06:49,996
What's next?
157
00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:51,503
You're gonna love this.
158
00:06:56,143 --> 00:07:00,910
Now from high diving
to deep-sea diving.
159
00:07:00,981 --> 00:07:02,972
Before the days
of scuba diving,
160
00:07:03,050 --> 00:07:04,745
divers would go down
in those old suits
161
00:07:04,818 --> 00:07:08,117
with those brass helmets, just like this, right?
... Sure.
162
00:07:08,188 --> 00:07:10,122
They would pressurize their suit
using a compressor
163
00:07:10,190 --> 00:07:11,748
on a boat at the surface.
164
00:07:11,825 --> 00:07:13,292
To counteract
the external water pressure.
165
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,486
Exactly.
166
00:07:14,561 --> 00:07:16,552
That sounds like
an accident waiting to happen.
167
00:07:16,630 --> 00:07:18,120
And that's what
this myth is about.
168
00:07:18,198 --> 00:07:21,463
If that compressor were to stop
or the air hose would get cut,
169
00:07:21,535 --> 00:07:23,560
that diver would come
to a grisly end.
170
00:07:23,637 --> 00:07:25,229
Yeah, without
the high-pressure air
171
00:07:25,305 --> 00:07:26,863
helping to keep
the suit inflated,
172
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:28,874
it would simply crush under
the weight of all the water.
173
00:07:28,942 --> 00:07:30,034
That's right.
174
00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:31,839
And the pressure would change
so suddenly,
175
00:07:31,912 --> 00:07:33,243
it would be so dramatic,
176
00:07:33,313 --> 00:07:37,010
that it would literally squish
the diver into the helmet.
177
00:07:37,084 --> 00:07:38,176
Sick.
178
00:07:38,252 --> 00:07:39,913
I love it.
179
00:07:39,987 --> 00:07:43,616
Yep, according to
this macabre maritime myth,
180
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:46,386
early deep-sea-diving suits
had a flaw,
181
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:48,724
whereby a failure
in the air supply
182
00:07:48,796 --> 00:07:51,230
could cause
a drastic depressurization.
183
00:07:51,298 --> 00:07:53,562
But could
the pressure differential
184
00:07:53,634 --> 00:07:56,535
really put the squeeze
on an entire human body,
185
00:07:56,603 --> 00:07:59,731
or is this a load
of "Pulp Fiction"?
186
00:07:59,807 --> 00:08:01,138
So, how do we
test this?
187
00:08:01,208 --> 00:08:04,268
Ultimately, I think we need to
build one of these suits,
188
00:08:04,344 --> 00:08:05,606
put a human analogue
in it,
189
00:08:05,679 --> 00:08:07,237
drop it to the bottom
of the ocean,
190
00:08:07,314 --> 00:08:09,305
cut the line,
and see what happens.
191
00:08:09,383 --> 00:08:10,850
See if we get
instant sausages.
192
00:08:10,918 --> 00:08:12,180
Or whatever.
193
00:08:12,252 --> 00:08:13,446
Okay, before we do
all of that,
194
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,782
I think we need to do
two things.
195
00:08:14,855 --> 00:08:16,379
We need to go talk
to an expert,
196
00:08:16,457 --> 00:08:18,618
and we need to do
a few proof-of-concept tests.
197
00:08:18,692 --> 00:08:20,956
And at San Francisco Maritime
198
00:08:21,028 --> 00:08:22,518
National Historical Park,
199
00:08:22,596 --> 00:08:27,761
ex-Navy diver Mike Ward
is just the expert Kari needs.
200
00:08:27,835 --> 00:08:29,803
What kind of diving
were these suits used for?
201
00:08:29,870 --> 00:08:32,737
They were used
for salvage diving,
202
00:08:32,806 --> 00:08:36,264
mariculture diving,
sea harvesting, construction.
203
00:08:36,343 --> 00:08:39,369
They were used for virtually
every kind of diving.
204
00:08:39,446 --> 00:08:43,974
This was the very first real
type of commercial diving suit.
205
00:08:44,051 --> 00:08:45,518
How deep do they go?
206
00:08:45,586 --> 00:08:47,315
Down to 300 feet
on average.
207
00:08:47,387 --> 00:08:49,378
300 feet
is quite a depth.
208
00:08:49,456 --> 00:08:52,220
But as Mike explains
how the suit works,
209
00:08:52,292 --> 00:08:53,987
there's one feature
that's troubling Kari...
210
00:08:54,061 --> 00:08:56,928
the non-return valve.
211
00:08:56,997 --> 00:08:59,227
In the event
that the hose gets cut,
212
00:08:59,299 --> 00:09:01,494
the pressure differential
213
00:09:01,568 --> 00:09:03,331
automatically forces
the valve shut.
214
00:09:03,403 --> 00:09:06,065
Doesn't allow anything
to go up the umbilical.
215
00:09:06,139 --> 00:09:08,699
You need a dive suit
without a non-return valve
216
00:09:08,775 --> 00:09:10,470
for this myth
to be possible.
217
00:09:10,544 --> 00:09:11,670
I would test it
as though
218
00:09:11,745 --> 00:09:13,508
the non-return valve
wasn't working right.
219
00:09:13,580 --> 00:09:15,514
A lot of times divers
wouldn't do the maintenance
220
00:09:15,582 --> 00:09:16,776
and the valve
would get stuck,
221
00:09:16,850 --> 00:09:18,977
and that would cause
the failure.
222
00:09:19,052 --> 00:09:21,213
So according
to our dive master,
223
00:09:21,288 --> 00:09:25,816
the particulars of this myth
are positively plausible.
224
00:09:25,893 --> 00:09:29,056
Which means it's time
to get down to business.
225
00:09:29,129 --> 00:09:30,391
As always on "Mythbusters,"
226
00:09:30,464 --> 00:09:32,489
we're gonna start out
in the small scale.
227
00:09:32,566 --> 00:09:34,534
Basically, I'm gonna make
a tiny little diver
228
00:09:34,601 --> 00:09:36,034
that we can do
some experiments on
229
00:09:36,103 --> 00:09:38,901
and find out what kind of effect
suction really is going to have
230
00:09:38,972 --> 00:09:41,167
and let us design
our big experiment.
231
00:09:41,241 --> 00:09:43,436
And as Kari's
voodoo diver takes shape,
232
00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:48,004
it's clear who
the sacrificial mini-me will be.
233
00:09:48,081 --> 00:09:50,948
The diver is becoming
little Grant.
234
00:09:51,018 --> 00:09:52,576
Kari's sculpture
turned out great,
235
00:09:52,653 --> 00:09:53,847
and it looks just like Grant.
236
00:09:53,921 --> 00:09:56,082
But in order to test this
small scale,
237
00:09:56,156 --> 00:09:59,125
I need to turn this clay figure
into a ballistics-gel figure
238
00:09:59,192 --> 00:10:00,955
wearing a watertight
diving suit.
239
00:10:01,028 --> 00:10:02,655
Now, the way I'm gonna do that
240
00:10:02,729 --> 00:10:05,129
is I'm gonna make
a plaster mold of the sculpture.
241
00:10:07,634 --> 00:10:09,363
Hey, look at that.
242
00:10:09,436 --> 00:10:12,405
It's like Han Solo,
frozen in carbonite.
243
00:10:12,472 --> 00:10:14,463
That way I'll have
two halves of a mold
244
00:10:14,541 --> 00:10:16,441
that I can paint in latex
and cloth.
245
00:10:16,510 --> 00:10:18,478
So that way,
it'll be both watertight
246
00:10:18,545 --> 00:10:21,105
and it'll be durable.
247
00:10:24,685 --> 00:10:27,745
Once the latex is dry, I'll put
the two halves together,
248
00:10:27,821 --> 00:10:31,814
and I'll fill the whole thing up
with ballistics gel.
249
00:10:31,892 --> 00:10:33,325
Once the ballistic gel sets,
250
00:10:33,393 --> 00:10:34,883
I'll be able to open up
the mold,
251
00:10:34,962 --> 00:10:37,931
and what I'll be left with
is a mini Grant diver
252
00:10:37,998 --> 00:10:41,161
made out of ballistics gel
in a watertight diving suit.
253
00:10:44,571 --> 00:10:46,368
Oh, look at that!
254
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,431
...Ohh!
... Look. His little suit's there.
255
00:10:48,508 --> 00:10:50,100
It's loose on his body.
That's perfect.
256
00:10:50,177 --> 00:10:51,508
It'll fill right up
with air.
257
00:10:51,578 --> 00:10:52,875
This is gonna be perfect.
258
00:10:52,946 --> 00:10:55,278
I got to do a little bit
of repair work on the seams,
259
00:10:55,349 --> 00:10:57,044
but we're good to go.
260
00:10:57,117 --> 00:10:58,175
It's gonna work.
261
00:10:58,251 --> 00:11:00,185
Now all he needs
is a helmet.
262
00:11:00,253 --> 00:11:02,744
Which is exactly
what his life-size namesake
263
00:11:02,823 --> 00:11:04,085
is working on.
264
00:11:04,157 --> 00:11:06,182
Now, this is an old-timey
dive helmet
265
00:11:06,259 --> 00:11:08,454
similar to the one they describe
in the myth.
266
00:11:08,528 --> 00:11:13,397
And I'm going to be simulating
it using this clear acrylic.
267
00:11:13,467 --> 00:11:17,233
Now, I've chosen this so that
if we do in fact see a squeeze,
268
00:11:17,304 --> 00:11:19,272
like in the myth,
that goes up into the helmet,
269
00:11:19,339 --> 00:11:23,673
we'll have a full 360 view
so that we won't miss anything.
270
00:11:23,744 --> 00:11:25,336
And the finishing touch...
271
00:11:25,412 --> 00:11:29,007
a gauge to keep an eye
on the pressure inside the suit
272
00:11:29,082 --> 00:11:31,414
once they throw him in
at the deep end.
273
00:11:34,655 --> 00:11:35,587
According to Hollywood,
274
00:11:35,656 --> 00:11:38,090
any dumpster
is a guaranteed getaway.
275
00:11:38,158 --> 00:11:40,854
But what exactly will you find
inside one?
276
00:11:40,927 --> 00:11:44,363
This looks like the place.
Look at all these dumpsters!
277
00:11:44,431 --> 00:11:48,026
We've come to the natural
habitat of the dumpster...
278
00:11:48,101 --> 00:11:49,432
Waste Management facility...
279
00:11:49,503 --> 00:11:51,994
and we've got our pick
to look through.
280
00:11:52,072 --> 00:11:55,599
To find out
if here in the real world
281
00:11:55,676 --> 00:11:58,702
a dumpster is the soft landing
this myth suggests.
282
00:11:58,779 --> 00:12:00,110
Hi, Jamie!
283
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:01,772
Put us on your feet!
284
00:12:01,848 --> 00:12:03,782
Looks like all cardboard,
285
00:12:03,850 --> 00:12:07,342
but I see some wood
and some rebar down there.
286
00:12:07,421 --> 00:12:09,048
Rebar?
287
00:12:09,122 --> 00:12:11,022
And after a savage scavenge,
288
00:12:11,091 --> 00:12:14,527
it's clear a fall
into this dumpster
289
00:12:14,594 --> 00:12:15,959
will be anything but soft.
290
00:12:16,029 --> 00:12:19,362
It's all wood under here.
This dumpster is deadly!
291
00:12:19,433 --> 00:12:23,096
So they move on to two more
dumpsters picked at random.
292
00:12:23,170 --> 00:12:27,038
All this blue stuff says, to me,
"hospital waste. "
293
00:12:27,107 --> 00:12:28,438
Yeah.
294
00:12:28,508 --> 00:12:31,966
Kind of don't want to mess
around with this one too much.
295
00:12:32,045 --> 00:12:33,444
Yeah.
296
00:12:33,513 --> 00:12:34,878
If you gave me the choice
297
00:12:34,948 --> 00:12:37,007
of jumping into a dumpster
full of hospital waste
298
00:12:37,084 --> 00:12:38,415
or dealing with
the bad guys,
299
00:12:38,485 --> 00:12:41,852
I'm gonna think pretty carefully
about dealing with the bad guys.
300
00:12:44,558 --> 00:12:47,049
Ohh!
301
00:12:47,127 --> 00:12:49,357
Hey, that's kind of neat.
302
00:12:49,429 --> 00:12:51,363
Open cardboard bo xes.
303
00:12:51,431 --> 00:12:54,059
Except again, there's
this hidden stuff in there,
304
00:12:54,134 --> 00:12:55,726
like those pallets.
305
00:12:55,802 --> 00:12:57,736
Plus, the deeper
into the dumpster they dig...
306
00:12:57,804 --> 00:13:00,170
You got to aim away
from the pallets.
307
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,037
Those things
will get ya.
308
00:13:02,109 --> 00:13:03,633
...the worse the news.
309
00:13:03,710 --> 00:13:05,473
This is clearly
one of those situations
310
00:13:05,545 --> 00:13:07,342
where you can't judge a book
by its cover.
311
00:13:07,414 --> 00:13:10,474
You're on top of the building
looking down into the dumpster.
312
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:13,576
It looks nice and soft, but you
don't know what's underneath it.
313
00:13:13,653 --> 00:13:15,484
You could be
in for a nasty surprise.
314
00:13:15,555 --> 00:13:18,649
For soft landings,
they're zero for three.
315
00:13:18,725 --> 00:13:21,660
But if any dumpster meets
the cushioning criteria,
316
00:13:21,728 --> 00:13:23,286
Kevin Floyd will know about it.
317
00:13:23,363 --> 00:13:25,058
Do you ever
have dumpsters come in
318
00:13:25,132 --> 00:13:28,295
that just have
a bunch of soft stuff inside?
319
00:13:28,368 --> 00:13:29,596
Occasionally.
320
00:13:29,669 --> 00:13:32,661
But we get about 10,000
to 12,000 loads a year.
321
00:13:32,739 --> 00:13:36,300
Maybe one or two a month
would come like that.
322
00:13:36,376 --> 00:13:40,574
What I can think of is items
from a factory with foam.
323
00:13:40,647 --> 00:13:42,581
That'd be a nice,
soft load.
324
00:13:42,649 --> 00:13:43,911
But for the most part,
325
00:13:43,984 --> 00:13:45,611
it's mostly mixed,
like what you've seen.
326
00:13:45,685 --> 00:13:48,210
Well, I think our path
is pretty clear.
327
00:13:48,288 --> 00:13:49,619
Yeah... down.
328
00:13:50,891 --> 00:13:53,553
So after their
excursion to Dumpsterville,
329
00:13:53,627 --> 00:13:55,060
what have they learned?
330
00:13:55,128 --> 00:13:58,791
You know, jumping into any old
dumpster is not a good idea.
331
00:13:58,865 --> 00:14:00,628
You never know
what you're gonna get,
332
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:02,691
and, I mean,
it could be really dangerous.
333
00:14:02,769 --> 00:14:04,100
It's not looking good
for the myth.
334
00:14:04,171 --> 00:14:06,332
Yeah, but by the same token,
you could get lucky.
335
00:14:06,406 --> 00:14:07,805
I mean,
for all you know,
336
00:14:07,874 --> 00:14:10,536
you could be jumping into the
dumpster of a pillow factory.
337
00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:12,373
I think we should
narrow down the field
338
00:14:12,445 --> 00:14:16,438
to choose an ideal material,
a best-case scenario,
339
00:14:16,516 --> 00:14:17,778
and fall into that.
340
00:14:17,851 --> 00:14:19,819
...And see if it's possible.
... Exactly.
341
00:14:19,886 --> 00:14:20,978
Works for me.
342
00:14:21,054 --> 00:14:23,318
And courtesy
of garbage guru Kevin,
343
00:14:23,390 --> 00:14:26,325
they've assembled
four likely suspects.
344
00:14:26,393 --> 00:14:28,486
What we're gonna do
with each of our materials
345
00:14:28,562 --> 00:14:30,530
is we're gonna put them
in a stack,
346
00:14:30,597 --> 00:14:32,155
and I'm basically gonna jump
on them.
347
00:14:32,232 --> 00:14:34,166
We'll use the high-speed camera
to analyze my jumps.
348
00:14:34,234 --> 00:14:37,067
And for those of you playing
at home, what we're looking for
349
00:14:37,137 --> 00:14:39,799
is the material
that decelerates me the best...
350
00:14:39,873 --> 00:14:42,774
that slows my descent
better than all of the others.
351
00:14:42,843 --> 00:14:45,812
That's the one we're gonna use
for our final test.
352
00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:48,677
First up...
potential filler number one.
353
00:14:48,748 --> 00:14:50,375
Cardboard bo xes.
354
00:14:50,450 --> 00:14:52,611
We've used them before
on the show for safety,
355
00:14:52,686 --> 00:14:53,880
and they do crush.
356
00:14:53,954 --> 00:14:56,445
You find them everywhere
in dumpsters,
357
00:14:56,523 --> 00:14:59,083
so they might be
just the thing for our test.
358
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:00,148
Right!
359
00:15:04,197 --> 00:15:07,325
That wasn't as spectacular
as I was afraid it would be.
360
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,424
It did collapse,
361
00:15:08,501 --> 00:15:10,196
and it did soften your landing,
didn't it?
362
00:15:10,270 --> 00:15:11,703
Yeah.
Certainly did.
363
00:15:11,771 --> 00:15:13,762
And alternative number two?
364
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,239
Shredded paper.
365
00:15:15,308 --> 00:15:17,003
Not supposed to be finding it
in a dumpster,
366
00:15:17,077 --> 00:15:18,567
because you're supposed to
recycle it.
367
00:15:18,645 --> 00:15:19,907
But it could happen.
368
00:15:19,980 --> 00:15:21,504
3, 2, 1.
369
00:15:24,484 --> 00:15:25,473
Enh.
370
00:15:25,552 --> 00:15:27,349
Dumpster option number three.
371
00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:29,047
Packing peanuts.
372
00:15:29,122 --> 00:15:32,285
If they use them to protect
objects inside a bo x from shock,
373
00:15:32,359 --> 00:15:34,759
they ought to work
to protect us from shock.
374
00:15:34,828 --> 00:15:36,318
It's sort of
a neater stack,
375
00:15:36,396 --> 00:15:38,557
but I don't know
whether it's gonna crush
376
00:15:38,632 --> 00:15:40,122
as much
as the bo xes did.
377
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,098
Well, let's see.
378
00:15:45,105 --> 00:15:46,504
Not bad, really.
379
00:15:46,573 --> 00:15:49,167
And the final contender.
380
00:15:49,242 --> 00:15:50,231
Foam rubber.
381
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:51,800
Any place
that makes upholstery products
382
00:15:51,878 --> 00:15:54,005
is gonna have foam cutoffs.
383
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,844
If it's good enough to sit on
or sleep on,
384
00:15:56,917 --> 00:15:59,283
my guess is that it's
good enough to jump into.
385
00:16:00,854 --> 00:16:03,482
Ooh.
386
00:16:03,556 --> 00:16:04,921
That was nice.
387
00:16:04,991 --> 00:16:06,822
That definitely
compressed more.
388
00:16:06,893 --> 00:16:09,384
It compressed more
and was a nice, soft landing.
389
00:16:09,462 --> 00:16:12,625
And after taking
a look at the high-speeds,
390
00:16:12,699 --> 00:16:15,361
it's clear the slowest landing
was the foam.
391
00:16:15,435 --> 00:16:16,902
Compared to the other materials,
392
00:16:16,970 --> 00:16:19,837
it brought Adam to a stop
in double the time,
393
00:16:19,906 --> 00:16:24,605
meaning it put
the least impact on his body.
394
00:16:24,678 --> 00:16:26,168
For my money,
I think we're agreed.
395
00:16:26,246 --> 00:16:27,679
...It's the foam.
... Yeah.
396
00:16:27,747 --> 00:16:29,044
Foam rubber is our winner.
397
00:16:29,115 --> 00:16:31,208
Not only did it give us
the softest landing,
398
00:16:31,284 --> 00:16:33,184
but it seemed to be
the most reliable,
399
00:16:33,253 --> 00:16:36,086
the least likely
to kind of move out of our way
400
00:16:36,156 --> 00:16:37,555
when we jumped into it.
401
00:16:37,624 --> 00:16:40,559
So that's what we're gonna be
filling our dumpster with.
402
00:16:42,963 --> 00:16:46,490
In this
old time diving disaster myth,
403
00:16:46,566 --> 00:16:51,230
an air-supply failure puts
the squeeze on an entire diver.
404
00:16:51,304 --> 00:16:55,297
So could a mistake up top
mean death down below?
405
00:16:55,375 --> 00:16:56,342
To find out...
406
00:16:57,644 --> 00:16:59,373
...the team has found
the perfect location.
407
00:17:00,613 --> 00:17:02,513
...Hi!
... Hi!
408
00:17:02,582 --> 00:17:04,482
With an added bonus.
409
00:17:04,551 --> 00:17:06,109
That is so cool.
410
00:17:06,186 --> 00:17:08,120
And after their brush
with the life aquatic,
411
00:17:08,188 --> 00:17:10,281
it's down to business.
412
00:17:10,357 --> 00:17:12,757
We're at Six Flags
Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo,
413
00:17:12,826 --> 00:17:14,350
where they have a diving tank
that's deeper
414
00:17:14,427 --> 00:17:15,553
than any pool we can find.
415
00:17:15,628 --> 00:17:17,186
So we figured
this is the best place
416
00:17:17,263 --> 00:17:18,855
for us to do all of our
small-scale testing.
417
00:17:18,932 --> 00:17:22,333
He survived the trip.
418
00:17:22,402 --> 00:17:23,630
Oh, cool.
You painted him red.
419
00:17:23,703 --> 00:17:25,603
Yeah, that way
if something does happen,
420
00:17:25,672 --> 00:17:27,003
we'll be able to see
if his body
421
00:17:27,073 --> 00:17:29,234
does get sucked up
into the helmet.
422
00:17:31,177 --> 00:17:33,145
To test this myth,
423
00:17:33,213 --> 00:17:35,875
Tory's going to take our diver
down to the bottom of the pool.
424
00:17:35,949 --> 00:17:38,042
Grant and I are gonna be
at the top monitoring,
425
00:17:38,118 --> 00:17:40,382
shut down the compressor,
see what happens.
426
00:17:40,453 --> 00:17:42,318
Well, what should happen
427
00:17:42,389 --> 00:17:44,289
is a drastic
pressure differential.
428
00:17:44,357 --> 00:17:47,485
As the diver descends,
the compressed air counteracts
429
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,687
the pressure of the water
outside.
430
00:17:49,763 --> 00:17:52,357
However,
when the air supply is cut,
431
00:17:52,432 --> 00:17:53,797
the balance is lost,
432
00:17:53,867 --> 00:17:57,564
and the force of the water
pushes in on the soft suit.
433
00:17:57,637 --> 00:18:00,037
But at only 15 feet under,
434
00:18:00,106 --> 00:18:01,573
will the water pressure
be enough
435
00:18:01,641 --> 00:18:05,236
to squish the tiny diver
into his helmet?
436
00:18:05,311 --> 00:18:07,836
The team is skeptical.
437
00:18:07,914 --> 00:18:11,372
My feeling is, since the gelatin
is the same density as water,
438
00:18:11,451 --> 00:18:12,850
since it's basically
made up of water,
439
00:18:12,919 --> 00:18:14,853
I don't think we're gonna see
much happen.
440
00:18:14,921 --> 00:18:16,149
Even though the gelatin
441
00:18:16,222 --> 00:18:17,689
is much softer
than the human body,
442
00:18:17,757 --> 00:18:19,588
I still have
a really hard time believing
443
00:18:19,659 --> 00:18:22,059
that we're gonna get the kind
of pressure it's gonna take
444
00:18:22,128 --> 00:18:23,755
to push the body
up into the helmet.
445
00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:26,856
But that's why we do
small-scale testing.
446
00:18:26,933 --> 00:18:29,731
So to put
the theory to the test...
447
00:18:29,803 --> 00:18:31,998
Okay.
Pressurizing the suit.
448
00:18:32,072 --> 00:18:35,599
...Tory takes the diver
to the deep end,
449
00:18:35,675 --> 00:18:37,870
and Kari and Grant pull
the proverbial plug.
450
00:18:37,944 --> 00:18:41,641
Okay.
Compressor failure.
451
00:18:41,714 --> 00:18:46,048
In 3, 2, 1.
452
00:18:52,826 --> 00:18:54,521
That's good.
453
00:18:57,764 --> 00:19:00,255
You're kidding me!
This is working?
454
00:19:06,606 --> 00:19:07,630
Yeah!
455
00:19:07,707 --> 00:19:10,301
Even at a depth
of only 15 feet,
456
00:19:10,376 --> 00:19:14,005
the pressure differential
squeezes mini diver Imahara
457
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,345
like a tube of toothpaste.
458
00:19:17,417 --> 00:19:18,475
It totally worked!
459
00:19:18,551 --> 00:19:20,815
It smashed the body
into the helmet.
460
00:19:20,887 --> 00:19:21,876
Oh, my God!
461
00:19:21,955 --> 00:19:23,149
That is awesome!
462
00:19:23,223 --> 00:19:25,418
Look at his
freaking rib cage!
463
00:19:25,492 --> 00:19:28,052
And that incredible result
464
00:19:28,128 --> 00:19:30,289
has the team
eating their words.
465
00:19:30,363 --> 00:19:31,625
It worked!
It actually worked!
466
00:19:31,698 --> 00:19:33,598
The water pressure was enough
to compress the suit
467
00:19:33,666 --> 00:19:36,134
and squish the body
into the helmet.
468
00:19:36,202 --> 00:19:38,796
Nobody expected that,
but I love it when we're wrong.
469
00:19:38,872 --> 00:19:40,772
I think we have
a perfect proof of concept here.
470
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,967
We can totally move on
to large scale.
471
00:19:43,042 --> 00:19:44,134
I think you're right.
472
00:19:44,210 --> 00:19:46,371
I'm calling it
"coolest small-scale ever. "
473
00:19:46,446 --> 00:19:47,913
Totally.
474
00:19:48,248 --> 00:19:50,614
That was awesome!
475
00:19:50,683 --> 00:19:52,674
Yeah. I've always wanted
to kiss a dolphin.
476
00:19:52,752 --> 00:19:53,878
No, not that.
The experiment!
477
00:19:53,953 --> 00:19:54,942
Yeah, that was awesome.
478
00:19:55,021 --> 00:19:56,784
The second we turned off
the compressor,
479
00:19:56,856 --> 00:19:58,255
the guy really did
get squished.
480
00:19:58,324 --> 00:20:00,292
Yeah, but, you know,
there is a big difference
481
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:02,590
between human flesh
and that gelatin.
482
00:20:02,662 --> 00:20:04,027
And would that
have really happened
483
00:20:04,097 --> 00:20:05,496
if we had a more fleshlike
material?
484
00:20:05,565 --> 00:20:07,692
Well, there's only
one way to find out.
485
00:20:07,767 --> 00:20:09,359
We go full scale.
Who's in?
486
00:20:09,435 --> 00:20:10,493
I'm in.
487
00:20:10,570 --> 00:20:12,128
Actually, no.
488
00:20:12,205 --> 00:20:14,833
As you can see, I'm about to
bring a mini Mythbuster
489
00:20:14,908 --> 00:20:16,432
into this world any moment now.
490
00:20:16,509 --> 00:20:18,477
So I've got a replacement
for you,
491
00:20:18,545 --> 00:20:19,705
and she's going to be great.
492
00:20:19,779 --> 00:20:21,508
But I'll see you guys
in a few episodes.
493
00:20:21,581 --> 00:20:22,639
Bye, Kari.
494
00:20:22,715 --> 00:20:23,647
Bye, Kari.
Good luck.
495
00:20:23,716 --> 00:20:25,115
...Hi, guys.
... Whoa.
496
00:20:25,185 --> 00:20:26,482
What are you, a ninja?
497
00:20:26,553 --> 00:20:27,679
Kinda.
I'm Jessi.
498
00:20:27,754 --> 00:20:29,449
...Hi, Jessi.
... Well, welcome aboard.
499
00:20:29,522 --> 00:20:30,989
I hope you don't
get seasick.
500
00:20:31,057 --> 00:20:32,046
Nah, I'm good.
501
00:20:32,125 --> 00:20:33,752
So, what's the plan
for the squeeze?
502
00:20:33,826 --> 00:20:35,293
Well, we're gonna go
full scale.
503
00:20:35,361 --> 00:20:37,795
And for that, we need
a genuine Mark V dive suit.
504
00:20:37,864 --> 00:20:39,832
We're gonna take it
all the way down to 300 feet.
505
00:20:39,899 --> 00:20:42,697
Yeah, and considering no one
wants to volunteer for this one,
506
00:20:42,769 --> 00:20:45,260
we're gonna make
a human analogue out of pork.
507
00:20:45,338 --> 00:20:46,498
...Sick.
... Did Kari warn you
508
00:20:46,573 --> 00:20:48,473
about some of the weird things
we do on this show?
509
00:20:48,541 --> 00:20:51,374
...Yeah, maybe not this weird, but I'm in.
... Cool.
510
00:20:51,444 --> 00:20:52,843
Speaking of weird...
511
00:20:52,912 --> 00:20:55,244
Now, in order to go full scale
on this one,
512
00:20:55,315 --> 00:20:57,647
we're gonna need something
more human-like.
513
00:20:57,717 --> 00:21:00,311
So I give you...
514
00:21:00,386 --> 00:21:01,614
Meat Man.
515
00:21:01,688 --> 00:21:04,452
Things are gonna get creepy
around here.
516
00:21:08,995 --> 00:21:12,431
Actually it's going to
get creepy in a freezer truck.
517
00:21:15,702 --> 00:21:17,499
So what I have here
is a bunch of pork,
518
00:21:17,570 --> 00:21:19,595
which I've had the butchers
keep the skin on.
519
00:21:19,672 --> 00:21:22,505
This is the meat that I'm gonna
wrap around the plastic skeleton
520
00:21:22,575 --> 00:21:23,872
in order to make my meat man.
521
00:21:23,943 --> 00:21:29,108
This is gonna be so cool!
522
00:21:29,182 --> 00:21:30,979
All right, this part might be
a little gross.
523
00:21:36,289 --> 00:21:38,416
But luckily
for our squeamish viewers,
524
00:21:38,491 --> 00:21:42,985
that ain't the only way they're
making this test more authentic.
525
00:21:43,062 --> 00:21:45,622
This is an honest-to-goodness
commercial dive helmet,
526
00:21:45,698 --> 00:21:47,290
just like the one in the myth.
527
00:21:47,367 --> 00:21:50,598
I'm gonna clean up the view port
so we can see inside,
528
00:21:50,670 --> 00:21:53,571
change out the valves,
and we should be good to go.
529
00:21:57,810 --> 00:21:59,437
A little help?
530
00:21:59,512 --> 00:22:01,742
Modifications complete,
531
00:22:01,814 --> 00:22:05,215
Grant puts the entire ensemble
together for a dry run.
532
00:22:05,285 --> 00:22:09,085
And to control the flow of air,
he's whipped up this.
533
00:22:09,155 --> 00:22:10,850
The idea with the manifold
534
00:22:10,923 --> 00:22:13,721
is that we are simulating
cutting the line
535
00:22:13,793 --> 00:22:16,785
without actually
physically cutting the line.
536
00:22:16,863 --> 00:22:19,229
The air from the compressor
comes in through here
537
00:22:19,299 --> 00:22:21,028
and goes out to the suit here.
538
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:23,000
When I want to simulate the cut,
539
00:22:23,069 --> 00:22:26,197
blow open the dump valve
and everything goes "whoosh!"
540
00:22:29,475 --> 00:22:31,705
Yeah.
That's good.
541
00:22:31,778 --> 00:22:33,643
So you're gonna cut off
the main air supply.
542
00:22:36,282 --> 00:22:39,149
And put on my ear protection.
543
00:22:39,218 --> 00:22:41,448
Okay. Everybody ready?
Here we go.
544
00:22:41,521 --> 00:22:44,285
In 3, 2, 1.
545
00:22:46,626 --> 00:22:48,287
Barely a breeze.
546
00:22:48,361 --> 00:22:50,659
But that's exactly
what's supposed to happen,
547
00:22:50,730 --> 00:22:52,061
right, Grant?
548
00:22:52,131 --> 00:22:53,462
One second.
549
00:22:53,533 --> 00:22:56,297
Well, it is venting,
which is good news.
550
00:22:56,369 --> 00:22:57,802
I think the thing is,
551
00:22:57,870 --> 00:23:00,338
there wasn't much pressure
in there to begin with,
552
00:23:00,406 --> 00:23:02,704
only maybe 5 psi.
553
00:23:02,775 --> 00:23:05,107
And the pressure on the outside
is zero.
554
00:23:05,178 --> 00:23:08,170
It's just regular
atmospheric pressure.
555
00:23:08,247 --> 00:23:10,807
So when we get
down to 300 feet,
556
00:23:10,883 --> 00:23:13,943
there'll be a tremendous amount
of pressure on the outside
557
00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:15,954
pushing in to exhaust this.
558
00:23:16,022 --> 00:23:18,388
Hopefully that will generate
the squeeze
559
00:23:18,458 --> 00:23:19,550
that we're looking for.
560
00:23:19,625 --> 00:23:20,683
Absolutely.
561
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,694
Because although
there's no pressure
562
00:23:22,762 --> 00:23:24,195
acting on the suit topside,
563
00:23:24,263 --> 00:23:26,458
at 300 feet below the surface,
564
00:23:26,532 --> 00:23:30,195
there'll be 135 pounds
of water pressure
565
00:23:30,269 --> 00:23:31,998
per every square inch.
566
00:23:32,071 --> 00:23:33,436
That's the theory.
567
00:23:33,506 --> 00:23:37,636
But how are they gonna film
the experiment 300 feet under?
568
00:23:37,710 --> 00:23:39,439
Light and motion
has hooked us up
569
00:23:39,512 --> 00:23:42,106
with these state-of-the-art
underwater camera housings
570
00:23:42,181 --> 00:23:44,308
so we can capture
all of the action.
571
00:23:44,384 --> 00:23:46,875
Now, it's my job to make sure
all of them are mounted safely
572
00:23:46,953 --> 00:23:49,421
and securely,
which is gonna require
573
00:23:49,489 --> 00:23:51,889
a little bit of welding
and some modifications.
574
00:23:53,526 --> 00:23:55,619
As well as the cameras,
575
00:23:55,695 --> 00:23:59,222
the cage will secure the diver
for his descent into the deep.
576
00:23:59,298 --> 00:24:01,027
Bad piece of crossmember!
577
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:02,965
And while Jessi welds,
578
00:24:03,035 --> 00:24:07,165
Tory has spent far too much
time alone in the ice truck.
579
00:24:09,575 --> 00:24:12,066
It's alive!
580
00:24:13,546 --> 00:24:16,071
Meat Man is almost done.
581
00:24:16,149 --> 00:24:18,276
I know what you're saying...
he's looking a little freaky.
582
00:24:18,351 --> 00:24:20,285
And there's probably
a bunch of you out there saying,
583
00:24:20,353 --> 00:24:22,082
"Why in the heck
are you doing this?
584
00:24:22,155 --> 00:24:24,680
Why are you sewing a bunch
of meat together on a skeleton?
585
00:24:24,757 --> 00:24:26,384
Are you trying to freak us out?"
586
00:24:26,459 --> 00:24:27,585
Well, no.
587
00:24:27,660 --> 00:24:29,594
What I'm trying to do
is make a human analogue.
588
00:24:29,662 --> 00:24:33,189
With this I have actual muscle
tissue, I have fat, I have skin.
589
00:24:33,266 --> 00:24:35,791
I mean, this is as close
to using a human being
590
00:24:35,868 --> 00:24:37,961
without actually
using a human being.
591
00:24:38,037 --> 00:24:42,565
So if I'm freaking
a few of you out, I'm sorry.
592
00:24:42,642 --> 00:24:44,166
Science isn't always pretty.
593
00:24:45,311 --> 00:24:47,836
Not pretty,
but Meat Man will be
594
00:24:47,914 --> 00:24:51,611
the best possible human
analogue for the test.
595
00:24:51,684 --> 00:24:54,847
I present to you my creation...
596
00:24:54,921 --> 00:24:55,888
Meat Man!
597
00:24:58,591 --> 00:25:01,924
Ooh. Almost threw up.
That's gross.
598
00:25:01,994 --> 00:25:03,985
And while he stays on ice...
599
00:25:05,064 --> 00:25:07,396
...a similar-sized stand-in...
600
00:25:07,467 --> 00:25:08,593
You okay in there?
601
00:25:08,668 --> 00:25:11,159
...steps up
to test Jessi's cage rig.
602
00:25:11,237 --> 00:25:12,363
Oh, yeah.
603
00:25:12,438 --> 00:25:13,803
I'm like a cage dancer.
Yeah.
604
00:25:13,873 --> 00:25:15,932
...Should we go to lunch?
... Yeah.
605
00:25:16,008 --> 00:25:17,441
...Good job.
... Okay. Get me out of here.
606
00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:18,704
Thanks for your help.
607
00:25:18,778 --> 00:25:21,975
Oh, totally not cool.
608
00:25:22,048 --> 00:25:25,176
So not cool!
609
00:25:25,985 --> 00:25:27,714
Dumpster diving,
Hollywood-style.
610
00:25:27,787 --> 00:25:29,618
We know that you
can survive a fall
611
00:25:29,689 --> 00:25:31,156
from a reasonably high height
612
00:25:31,224 --> 00:25:32,987
if you've got
the right technique
613
00:25:33,059 --> 00:25:34,788
and your landing is soft enough.
614
00:25:34,861 --> 00:25:37,261
But after rooting around
in three random dumpsters,
615
00:25:37,330 --> 00:25:39,264
we've failed to find them
616
00:25:39,332 --> 00:25:42,495
consistently full of soft-enough
stuff for a safe landing.
617
00:25:42,568 --> 00:25:43,967
Ow.
618
00:25:44,036 --> 00:25:46,698
However, after some scale tests
here in the shop,
619
00:25:46,772 --> 00:25:50,173
we have chosen an ideal material
to fill our dumpster with,
620
00:25:50,243 --> 00:25:51,471
and soon we're gonna find out
621
00:25:51,544 --> 00:25:54,172
if you can survive a fall
into this.
622
00:25:55,515 --> 00:25:57,813
We know it's safe
to fall into an air bag,
623
00:25:57,884 --> 00:26:00,978
but we don't know whether it's
safe to fall into a dumpster.
624
00:26:01,053 --> 00:26:02,748
That's where Buster comes in.
625
00:26:03,890 --> 00:26:04,914
But wait!
626
00:26:04,991 --> 00:26:07,084
We're not at that point
in the story yet.
627
00:26:07,159 --> 00:26:08,888
First we need a safety control.
628
00:26:08,961 --> 00:26:12,158
Which is why we're putting
accelerometers all over Buster.
629
00:26:12,231 --> 00:26:14,290
These accelerometers
will yield for us
630
00:26:14,367 --> 00:26:17,029
a graphical representation
of Buster's deceleration
631
00:26:17,103 --> 00:26:18,365
into the air bag.
632
00:26:18,437 --> 00:26:20,029
And it is this graph
against which
633
00:26:20,106 --> 00:26:22,870
we'll compare Buster's dumpster
dive to make sure it's safe.
634
00:26:22,942 --> 00:26:24,967
Buster's living up
to his name
635
00:26:25,044 --> 00:26:26,739
as a "trash-test" dummy...
636
00:26:26,812 --> 00:26:28,074
Now, I have a plan.
637
00:26:28,147 --> 00:26:30,513
...by finding out
the deceleration
638
00:26:30,583 --> 00:26:32,210
of a safe fall into an air bag.
639
00:26:32,285 --> 00:26:35,448
Thank goodness he's got an innie
and not an outie, huh?
640
00:26:35,521 --> 00:26:38,081
Then they'll compare
the accelerometer data
641
00:26:38,157 --> 00:26:40,625
with his dive
into a dumpster full of foam.
642
00:26:40,693 --> 00:26:42,718
And with the accelerometers
in position,
643
00:26:42,795 --> 00:26:46,629
Buster is hoisted to 20 feet
to take his dive.
644
00:26:46,699 --> 00:26:47,893
You ready for this?
645
00:26:47,967 --> 00:26:49,195
Ready when you are.
646
00:26:49,268 --> 00:26:50,565
All right.
647
00:26:50,636 --> 00:26:53,104
Okay. Safety control...
dummy into air bag.
648
00:26:53,172 --> 00:26:55,140
3, 2, 1.
649
00:26:58,044 --> 00:26:59,671
A perfect 10!
650
00:26:59,745 --> 00:27:00,677
Works for me.
651
00:27:00,746 --> 00:27:01,872
Nice work, Buster!
652
00:27:03,249 --> 00:27:05,012
Okay.
Go ahead and hook her up.
653
00:27:05,084 --> 00:27:06,881
Let's see what we got.
654
00:27:06,953 --> 00:27:10,582
And it figures
that the figures are good.
655
00:27:10,656 --> 00:27:12,351
The accelerometers
worked like a charm,
656
00:27:12,425 --> 00:27:16,589
and this graph right here
is a safe drop into the air bag.
657
00:27:16,662 --> 00:27:18,789
Let's hope we get the same thing
out of the dumpster, huh?
658
00:27:18,864 --> 00:27:20,229
Yeah.
659
00:27:20,299 --> 00:27:24,929
Yep, now the Mythbusters have
the data for a safe landing.
660
00:27:25,004 --> 00:27:27,700
Buster registered 11.4 G's
on that test.
661
00:27:27,773 --> 00:27:29,673
A "G" is one Earth's gravity,
662
00:27:29,742 --> 00:27:33,178
so that means that Buster
weighed 11.4 times as much
663
00:27:33,245 --> 00:27:36,146
as he normally does
when the air bag stopped him.
664
00:27:36,215 --> 00:27:38,615
Now, we know that you can
get up and walk away
665
00:27:38,684 --> 00:27:39,742
from a jump like that.
666
00:27:39,819 --> 00:27:42,481
What we need to know now
is how this compares
667
00:27:42,555 --> 00:27:44,455
to our best-case scenario...
668
00:27:44,523 --> 00:27:47,492
jumping into a dumpster
full of foam.
669
00:27:49,895 --> 00:27:51,123
This is our dumpster.
670
00:27:51,197 --> 00:27:53,529
It's empty right now,
but soon we're gonna fill it
671
00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:56,227
full of the softest stuff
that we've been able to find,
672
00:27:56,302 --> 00:28:00,534
and Buster's gonna jump into it
to make sure it's okay for us.
673
00:28:02,708 --> 00:28:04,266
R2! I need you to shut down
674
00:28:04,343 --> 00:28:06,607
all the compactors
on the detention level!
675
00:28:12,551 --> 00:28:14,485
If you've got to jump
into a dumpster,
676
00:28:14,553 --> 00:28:16,384
this right here
would be you'd call
677
00:28:16,455 --> 00:28:19,390
a best-case real world scenario.
678
00:28:19,458 --> 00:28:21,153
But is it a best-case scenario
679
00:28:21,227 --> 00:28:22,819
that you could walk away from?
680
00:28:22,895 --> 00:28:25,955
If Buster doesn't survive
a fall into this,
681
00:28:26,032 --> 00:28:27,363
this movie myth is busted.
682
00:28:28,501 --> 00:28:30,628
Data collection...
dummy into foam.
683
00:28:30,703 --> 00:28:32,568
In 3, 2, 1!
684
00:28:36,809 --> 00:28:38,299
That looks like
it's viable.
685
00:28:38,377 --> 00:28:42,643
And a closer look at the data
backs Adam up.
686
00:28:42,715 --> 00:28:45,616
The foam resulted
in 9.9 G's.
687
00:28:45,685 --> 00:28:46,447
Wow.
688
00:28:46,519 --> 00:28:48,316
It's effectively the same,
689
00:28:48,387 --> 00:28:50,514
even a little more gentle
with the foam.
690
00:28:50,589 --> 00:28:52,079
Yep, from 20 feet,
691
00:28:52,158 --> 00:28:55,889
Buster's impact into the foam
was 1.5 G's fewer
692
00:28:55,961 --> 00:28:57,895
than his fall into the air bag,
693
00:28:57,963 --> 00:29:00,363
meaning that the foam
actually worked better
694
00:29:00,433 --> 00:29:04,995
to maximize his deceleration
and keep him from injury.
695
00:29:05,071 --> 00:29:06,834
I'm pretty impressed
with the foam.
696
00:29:06,906 --> 00:29:08,840
I'd say that
that is a survivable fall.
697
00:29:08,908 --> 00:29:11,274
Maybe even comfortable,
and the data backs it up.
698
00:29:11,343 --> 00:29:14,141
Can I be the one to do the jump?
Can I do the jump in here?
699
00:29:14,213 --> 00:29:16,738
You don't have some kind
of a costume, do you?
700
00:29:16,816 --> 00:29:17,783
Yeah, I do.
701
00:29:17,850 --> 00:29:18,942
I thought so.
702
00:29:19,018 --> 00:29:20,007
Can I do it?!
703
00:29:20,086 --> 00:29:21,451
Knock yourself out.
704
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,009
Yes!
705
00:29:24,056 --> 00:29:25,523
All right.
Camera mounts, check.
706
00:29:25,591 --> 00:29:27,616
Diving-helmet mounts, check.
707
00:29:27,693 --> 00:29:29,558
300 foot umbilical, check.
708
00:29:29,628 --> 00:29:30,925
Dive suit, check.
709
00:29:30,996 --> 00:29:32,463
Helmet, check.
710
00:29:32,531 --> 00:29:35,159
And finally,
Meat Man is done.
711
00:29:35,234 --> 00:29:37,794
Now it's time to take all these
things out to the ocean,
712
00:29:37,870 --> 00:29:39,633
take 'em down 300 feet,
713
00:29:39,705 --> 00:29:44,233
and find out whether or not
Meat Man will get the squeeze.
714
00:29:44,310 --> 00:29:47,302
So to do that,
it's off to Santa Cruz Harbor,
715
00:29:47,379 --> 00:29:49,540
where the experts
from North Coast Divers
716
00:29:49,615 --> 00:29:51,708
will take them out to sea.
717
00:29:51,784 --> 00:29:52,876
So, are we good to go?
718
00:29:52,952 --> 00:29:54,544
We are.
Conditions are perfect.
719
00:29:54,620 --> 00:29:56,281
But before they test the waters,
720
00:29:56,355 --> 00:30:00,724
the Wizard of Odd
has to give Meat Man a heart.
721
00:30:00,793 --> 00:30:02,920
Since the chest is the only
thing that is compressible
722
00:30:02,995 --> 00:30:04,929
on a human being,
especially in this experiment,
723
00:30:04,997 --> 00:30:07,227
it's important we have something
inside the chest cavity.
724
00:30:07,299 --> 00:30:08,857
Right now, it's hollow.
725
00:30:08,934 --> 00:30:12,529
So what we need to do is fill
him up with some kind of organs,
726
00:30:12,605 --> 00:30:15,039
guts, blood, so that way,
if we do get that squeeze,
727
00:30:15,107 --> 00:30:17,701
we'll be able to see it
come shooting into the helmet.
728
00:30:17,777 --> 00:30:20,143
So I have some hearts.
I got some livers.
729
00:30:20,212 --> 00:30:21,304
I have some fake blood.
730
00:30:21,380 --> 00:30:23,314
I'm gonna fill up this chest,
sew him back up,
731
00:30:23,382 --> 00:30:24,781
and we can get him
into the suit.
732
00:30:26,085 --> 00:30:29,418
I have no idea what that is,
but it's going in.
733
00:30:29,488 --> 00:30:35,916
Meat Man really puts
the "meat" in "team. "
734
00:30:35,995 --> 00:30:38,486
Finally, it's out
to the open ocean,
735
00:30:38,564 --> 00:30:40,896
with Meat Man
safe inside his suit...
736
00:30:40,966 --> 00:30:43,696
at least for now.
737
00:30:43,769 --> 00:30:46,363
If you see any sharks,
play dead.
738
00:30:46,438 --> 00:30:48,372
And once they're in
deep enough water...
739
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,738
Jim, how are we doing?
Are we almost there?
740
00:30:50,810 --> 00:30:52,437
We're in 300 feet of water
right now.
741
00:30:52,511 --> 00:30:54,172
We've got lots of deep water
behind us
742
00:30:54,246 --> 00:30:56,476
when we drift that way.
743
00:30:56,549 --> 00:30:57,481
We're ready to go.
744
00:30:57,550 --> 00:30:59,916
...preparation for launch
begins.
745
00:30:59,985 --> 00:31:02,283
Yeah. Beauty.
746
00:31:02,354 --> 00:31:04,345
Now, it's not as simple
747
00:31:04,423 --> 00:31:06,550
as just hanging Meat Man
over the side of the boat
748
00:31:06,625 --> 00:31:08,354
and letting him drop
to 300 feet.
749
00:31:08,427 --> 00:31:09,587
As he makes his descent,
750
00:31:09,662 --> 00:31:11,493
the pressure
pushing in on the suit
751
00:31:11,564 --> 00:31:15,364
goes up by. 445 psi
every foot.
752
00:31:15,434 --> 00:31:17,231
So in order to compensate
for that,
753
00:31:17,303 --> 00:31:20,466
I'm gonna have to add air in
through this hose
754
00:31:20,539 --> 00:31:21,938
and push back out.
755
00:31:22,007 --> 00:31:23,099
Now, I've calibrated this gauge
756
00:31:23,175 --> 00:31:26,838
to the appro ximate psi
that I need versus the depth.
757
00:31:26,912 --> 00:31:29,676
Okay, so we're not relying
completely on Grant's math.
758
00:31:29,748 --> 00:31:31,648
We have a live-video feed
from an ROV
759
00:31:31,717 --> 00:31:33,617
that's gonna be
traveling around the cage,
760
00:31:33,686 --> 00:31:36,416
and we also have a live link
from a camera
761
00:31:36,488 --> 00:31:38,718
that's already mounted
on the cage as well.
762
00:31:38,791 --> 00:31:40,816
So if the suit inflates
too much or too little,
763
00:31:40,893 --> 00:31:43,384
we should be able to see
everything very easily
764
00:31:43,462 --> 00:31:44,724
from sitting right here.
765
00:31:44,797 --> 00:31:47,493
Okay, watch those cables
over there.
766
00:31:47,566 --> 00:31:48,533
Hold it.
767
00:31:48,601 --> 00:31:49,659
Drop it.
768
00:31:49,735 --> 00:31:51,430
...All right, let's drop it.
Okay.
769
00:31:51,503 --> 00:31:55,803
And Meat Man is in the water.
770
00:31:55,875 --> 00:31:58,173
Bye-bye, Meat Man.
771
00:31:58,244 --> 00:32:01,077
Say hello
to Davy Jones.
772
00:32:05,718 --> 00:32:09,586
Let's go maybe 30 feet at a time
just to see what happens.
773
00:32:09,655 --> 00:32:12,021
With cameras rolling,
774
00:32:12,091 --> 00:32:15,117
the diver is painstakingly
lowered into the drink
775
00:32:15,194 --> 00:32:18,994
to, uh, "meat"
his deep-sea fate.
776
00:32:19,064 --> 00:32:21,089
What's your depth, Jessi?
777
00:32:21,166 --> 00:32:22,258
31 feet.
778
00:32:22,334 --> 00:32:23,767
Copy that.
779
00:32:23,836 --> 00:32:26,930
But as they monitor
his slow descent,
780
00:32:27,006 --> 00:32:31,170
the team is skeptical
of a full-body squeeze.
781
00:32:31,243 --> 00:32:32,335
I honestly think
782
00:32:32,411 --> 00:32:34,311
that there's gonna be
some juices flowing,
783
00:32:34,380 --> 00:32:36,871
but I don't think it's gonna
suck the skin off his bones.
784
00:32:36,949 --> 00:32:39,440
I don't think
the whole body is gonna come up.
785
00:32:39,518 --> 00:32:41,884
I mean, there's a lot of meat
down there.
786
00:32:41,954 --> 00:32:44,047
I don't think all of that's
gonna come to the helmet.
787
00:32:47,092 --> 00:32:48,787
If my calculations
are correct,
788
00:32:48,861 --> 00:32:51,386
we're almost
a third of the way down.
789
00:32:54,133 --> 00:32:56,033
Looks like we are right on.
790
00:32:57,736 --> 00:33:01,968
200 feet.
791
00:33:02,041 --> 00:33:04,168
Two-thirds of the way down,
792
00:33:04,243 --> 00:33:07,872
and everything is going
according to plan.
793
00:33:07,947 --> 00:33:09,039
How is he holding up?
794
00:33:09,114 --> 00:33:10,638
Yes.
Looks good so far.
795
00:33:10,716 --> 00:33:14,982
235 feet
and it's getting really dark,
796
00:33:15,054 --> 00:33:18,512
thank God we've got all those
lights all over the place.
797
00:33:18,590 --> 00:33:19,852
Okay. That's 300 feet.
798
00:33:19,925 --> 00:33:22,120
Okay.
Stop the cage.
799
00:33:22,194 --> 00:33:26,324
At that depth, there's
135 pounds of water pressure
800
00:33:26,398 --> 00:33:31,131
pressing on every square inch
of the diving suit.
801
00:33:31,203 --> 00:33:35,162
The only thing keeping the water
at bay is the compressed air.
802
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:40,439
So will cutting the air supply
lead to a spectacular squeeze?
803
00:33:40,512 --> 00:33:44,141
There's only one way
to find out.
804
00:33:45,718 --> 00:33:47,242
All right, you guys.
How's the suit holding?
805
00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:50,152
It is looking great,
and we are at 300 feet.
806
00:33:50,222 --> 00:33:51,951
Yes! All right.
Let's do it. Ready?
807
00:33:52,024 --> 00:33:53,184
...You ready?
... Yeah.
808
00:33:53,258 --> 00:33:56,159
3...
809
00:33:56,228 --> 00:33:57,991
2...
810
00:33:58,063 --> 00:33:59,928
1.
811
00:34:02,167 --> 00:34:03,429
Moment of truth, huh?
812
00:34:03,502 --> 00:34:04,264
Yep.
813
00:34:04,336 --> 00:34:05,462
You ready?
814
00:34:05,537 --> 00:34:06,561
I am.
815
00:34:06,638 --> 00:34:08,469
Actually, it looks like
it's gonna be fun.
816
00:34:08,540 --> 00:34:12,032
Well, just remember,
this is about a chase scene,
817
00:34:12,111 --> 00:34:14,238
so when you hit the foam,
you can't just lie there.
818
00:34:14,313 --> 00:34:15,803
You got to get up
and take off.
819
00:34:15,881 --> 00:34:18,679
That's great. Absolutely.
I will do precisely that.
820
00:34:18,751 --> 00:34:20,412
That makes it
even more fun.
821
00:34:20,486 --> 00:34:22,852
More fun
and more complicated.
822
00:34:22,921 --> 00:34:25,890
Remember, this is
all about deceleration.
823
00:34:25,958 --> 00:34:28,256
The principle
is that the foam
824
00:34:28,327 --> 00:34:30,989
will bring Adam to a stop
gradually,
825
00:34:31,063 --> 00:34:33,554
meaning he comes out
injury-free.
826
00:34:33,632 --> 00:34:36,226
But so far,
that's just a theory.
827
00:34:36,301 --> 00:34:39,600
A miscalculation here
could spell disaster.
828
00:34:39,671 --> 00:34:41,332
Our jump height is 20 feet.
829
00:34:41,407 --> 00:34:43,466
Now, that may not sound
like a whole lot,
830
00:34:43,542 --> 00:34:45,476
but that's a two-story house.
831
00:34:45,544 --> 00:34:48,638
And if you jump that without
something soft to catch you,
832
00:34:48,714 --> 00:34:50,614
you're gonna be going so fast
833
00:34:50,682 --> 00:34:53,082
that you're gonna have
some serious damage.
834
00:34:54,219 --> 00:34:55,379
It's a long way down.
835
00:34:55,454 --> 00:34:57,513
And, I mean,
although we've eliminated
836
00:34:57,589 --> 00:34:59,819
any washing machines
or anvils in there,
837
00:34:59,892 --> 00:35:02,452
it is still just
a dumpster full of garbage.
838
00:35:02,528 --> 00:35:04,359
I mean, I've been trained,
839
00:35:04,430 --> 00:35:08,093
I'm no longer as scared looking
over this ledge as I once was,
840
00:35:08,167 --> 00:35:10,328
and the dummy says
it's gonna be safe.
841
00:35:10,402 --> 00:35:14,202
So there's nothing to do now
but go for broke.
842
00:35:14,273 --> 00:35:17,140
But there's no time
to dwell on the danger,
843
00:35:17,209 --> 00:35:18,642
'cause it's lights...
844
00:35:18,710 --> 00:35:20,268
Camera...
845
00:35:20,345 --> 00:35:23,109
And... action.
846
00:35:42,868 --> 00:35:46,235
Getting my gun out.
847
00:35:46,305 --> 00:35:49,297
Eat your heart out, Hollywood.
848
00:35:49,374 --> 00:35:50,773
Adam nailed the dumpster dive.
849
00:35:50,843 --> 00:35:53,209
And as he makes his getaway...
850
00:35:54,913 --> 00:35:57,040
...he'll live to see
another day.
851
00:35:59,084 --> 00:36:00,244
Hey.
852
00:36:00,319 --> 00:36:02,116
So, how are you doing?
853
00:36:02,187 --> 00:36:03,176
I'm doing good.
854
00:36:03,255 --> 00:36:04,882
Fingers all there?
Everything all right?
855
00:36:04,957 --> 00:36:06,481
Yeah. Little bit
of an adrenaline rush.
856
00:36:06,558 --> 00:36:07,684
But it worked
beautifully.
857
00:36:07,759 --> 00:36:09,420
It's actually a lot softer
than the air bag.
858
00:36:09,495 --> 00:36:10,928
...Nice work.
... Thank you.
859
00:36:12,631 --> 00:36:16,897
And that, as they say,
is a wrap.
860
00:36:16,969 --> 00:36:19,995
Well, I think the call
on this one is pretty clear.
861
00:36:20,072 --> 00:36:21,300
Yep.
It's plausible.
862
00:36:21,373 --> 00:36:24,240
As long as the contents
of the dumpster are soft enough.
863
00:36:24,309 --> 00:36:25,367
The thing is,
864
00:36:25,444 --> 00:36:27,412
you're not gonna really know
what's in there
865
00:36:27,479 --> 00:36:29,777
until it's too late.
... Until it's way too late.
866
00:36:29,848 --> 00:36:31,782
Plausible,
but not recommended.
867
00:36:31,850 --> 00:36:33,909
Let's get out of here.
868
00:36:38,957 --> 00:36:40,390
You're good
at dumpster diving,
869
00:36:40,459 --> 00:36:42,154
but not so good
with the scissor lift.
870
00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:50,466
Five miles
off the coast of California,
871
00:36:50,536 --> 00:36:53,664
a very strange occurrence
is going down.
872
00:36:53,739 --> 00:36:55,969
We are about to find out
whether or not
873
00:36:56,041 --> 00:36:58,066
this deep-sea diving myth
is true or not.
874
00:36:58,143 --> 00:37:01,044
Ever since I heard this story,
I was like, "How crazy is this?"
875
00:37:01,113 --> 00:37:02,842
This deep-sea diver
is down 300 feet.
876
00:37:02,915 --> 00:37:05,076
He loses the pressure
in his suit,
877
00:37:05,150 --> 00:37:07,846
and he actually gets squeezed
and sucked up into his helmet.
878
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,889
The Mythbusters
have lowered their diver
879
00:37:10,956 --> 00:37:13,516
into the murky deep...
880
00:37:13,592 --> 00:37:14,854
200 feet.
881
00:37:14,927 --> 00:37:17,896
...making sure that
the air pressure inside the suit
882
00:37:17,963 --> 00:37:20,625
is equal to the water pressure
surrounding it.
883
00:37:20,699 --> 00:37:26,569
We are exactly 50 feet away
from our final destination.
884
00:37:26,638 --> 00:37:30,074
But that's all about to change.
885
00:37:30,142 --> 00:37:31,939
Okay. That's 300 feet.
886
00:37:32,010 --> 00:37:33,637
Okay.
Stop the cage.
887
00:37:33,712 --> 00:37:37,148
You guys ready to cut the line
and see what happens?
888
00:37:37,216 --> 00:37:38,911
Yeah.
889
00:37:38,984 --> 00:37:40,383
Ready in 3...
890
00:37:40,452 --> 00:37:42,477
2...
891
00:37:42,554 --> 00:37:44,818
1.
892
00:37:46,058 --> 00:37:48,583
There it goes!
893
00:37:48,660 --> 00:37:50,560
He's starting
to squeeze.
894
00:37:53,999 --> 00:37:54,863
Look at that!
895
00:37:54,933 --> 00:37:56,992
Oh, my God!
896
00:37:58,437 --> 00:37:59,802
Wait a minute.
Whoa!
897
00:37:59,871 --> 00:38:01,532
Look at what's happening
to his head!
898
00:38:01,607 --> 00:38:05,441
Oh, my God!
His head is... oh!
899
00:38:05,510 --> 00:38:06,772
Yeah!
900
00:38:06,845 --> 00:38:09,780
Oh!
901
00:38:09,848 --> 00:38:12,043
Meat Man is
in the helmet!
902
00:38:12,117 --> 00:38:14,108
That's crazy!
903
00:38:14,186 --> 00:38:15,244
...Yeah!
... Yeah!
904
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,287
It worked!
905
00:38:18,991 --> 00:38:21,516
Oh, my gosh!
906
00:38:21,593 --> 00:38:23,788
Yep, the effect of the cut hose
907
00:38:23,862 --> 00:38:25,295
was less than instantaneous.
908
00:38:25,364 --> 00:38:27,764
But once the air pressure was
exhausted, physics took over,
909
00:38:27,833 --> 00:38:31,860
and the drastic
pressure differential
910
00:38:31,937 --> 00:38:36,169
pushed Meat Man into his helmet,
exactly as the myth predicted.
911
00:38:36,241 --> 00:38:38,641
I don't even think
we need to bring him up.
912
00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:39,642
...No.
... No.
913
00:38:39,711 --> 00:38:40,643
Just leave him down there!
914
00:38:40,712 --> 00:38:41,804
Wow!
915
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:42,972
Look at that.
916
00:38:43,048 --> 00:38:45,380
Look at those side glasses.
Look at that.
917
00:38:45,450 --> 00:38:46,508
That's amazing.
918
00:38:46,585 --> 00:38:47,950
You can't even see
in the helmet anymore
919
00:38:48,020 --> 00:38:50,488
'cause it's covered with flesh
and blood.
920
00:38:50,555 --> 00:38:52,580
Who's gonna clean
the suit?
921
00:38:52,658 --> 00:38:54,057
Not it.
922
00:38:54,126 --> 00:38:57,095
And a closer
inspection of our diver
923
00:38:57,162 --> 00:38:58,424
reveals the kind of damage
924
00:38:58,497 --> 00:39:03,127
135 pounds of pressure
per square inch can do.
925
00:39:03,201 --> 00:39:06,602
Oh, wow!
926
00:39:06,672 --> 00:39:08,196
Oh, my God!
927
00:39:08,273 --> 00:39:09,205
Stop!
928
00:39:09,274 --> 00:39:12,107
We totally
caved the helmet in!
929
00:39:12,177 --> 00:39:14,077
Look at all the guts
in there.
930
00:39:15,180 --> 00:39:17,546
His stomach
is inside his helmet.
931
00:39:17,616 --> 00:39:19,948
Just by the side of the helmet.
932
00:39:20,018 --> 00:39:21,610
...Look at that!
... Dude.
933
00:39:21,687 --> 00:39:23,314
Could you imagine
that pressure?
934
00:39:23,388 --> 00:39:26,152
That is absolutely confirmed.
No doubt about it.
935
00:39:26,224 --> 00:39:27,521
Totally confirmed.
936
00:39:27,592 --> 00:39:30,322
Okay, so I definitely expected
the juices to be flowing,
937
00:39:30,395 --> 00:39:32,522
but I didn't expect
to see them, like,
938
00:39:32,597 --> 00:39:34,497
slowly rise up
through the helmet
939
00:39:34,566 --> 00:39:36,466
and then... pow!...
where everything...
940
00:39:36,535 --> 00:39:38,730
it was just like an explosion
inside the suit.
941
00:39:38,804 --> 00:39:43,002
Completely unexpected
but totally awesome.
942
00:39:43,075 --> 00:39:45,066
Now, the name of this game
is differential pressure.
943
00:39:46,278 --> 00:39:48,246
They can withstand
a huge amount of pressure
944
00:39:48,313 --> 00:39:50,338
when they're equalized.
945
00:39:50,415 --> 00:39:53,145
But the second you take away all
the pressure on the inside...
946
00:39:54,286 --> 00:39:55,014
...crush.
947
00:39:55,087 --> 00:39:58,056
You can see this is what's left.
948
00:39:58,123 --> 00:39:59,988
I saw it with my own eyes.
949
00:40:00,058 --> 00:40:02,583
I still can't believe
that this actually happened.
950
00:40:02,661 --> 00:40:04,629
This one is completely
confirmed.
951
00:40:04,696 --> 00:40:07,665
I'm sorry, Meat Man,
but it was totally worth it!
952
00:40:07,733 --> 00:40:09,997
You guys ready
to get out of here?
953
00:40:10,068 --> 00:40:11,365
Yeah. Let's go home.
954
00:40:11,436 --> 00:40:13,904
All right, Jim!
Take us home!
