It's pretty wholesome seeing the kids having fun and giggling.

I still remember seeing my first Mythbusters episode, the Demolition Derby special in Season 5, that was the perfect introduction episode for me because it told me what the show was about in the most exciting and memorable way

[@douglasvitrano]

First episode I ever watched of this show when I was in third grade was exploding jawbreaker.

[@jaymz9815]

Brilliant......I love duct tape myths..Thank You 👍

I love duct tape myths

Tim Allen on Tool Time says" Got a problem? Duct it!

[@stephenmoncrieff2056]

Adam is just the biggest kid on the show!!

I think the duct tape parachute collapsed because it was too heavy compared to Buster, so it fell to the side and collapsed, then didn't have enough air time left to open again or got tangled.

[@TheVirtualWarlock]

Hmm... so if Buster had a bit more weight inside his metal and rubber skin, do you think the parachute can be effective? 🤔

[@Lampe2020]

I think that might increase the sink rate too much, duct tape is simply either too weak or too heavy to build a reasonable parachute out of. But I of course don't know that for sure, so a revisit would be nice :)
Let's see if that happens.

Two major flaws in their design; 1) they failed to use crosshatch lines for rigidity once opened, and 2) they didn't use a stiffener line around the edge of the parachute. Had they done so this chute would have worked without a hitch.
In fact, they need to go to smaller parachutes rather than a larger one. Three smaller parachutes would have worked more efficiently given the weight constraints of the duct tape, and even if one failed the other two should provide the necessary surface area to drop Buster's speed below the 16 mph threshold.

[@Lanker217]

They should of tested 4 flat tres as well

[@TheVirtualWarlock]

Fair point, but I doubt it would be a lot better than the rims. My guesstimate? Between the rims and DTT.

[@grumpyed58]

How did you get the rights to replay this?

[@DrEckig]

They bought it, fair and square.

[@HeadgyHog]

I was thinking the same thing. Anyways, I recently started watching the entire Collection of seasons on 123movies.

[@dovesr0478]

Lol it's obviously bootleg, enjoy it before it gets taken down

[@DrEckig]

@@dovesr0478 it's not. Banijay bought Beyond International in 2022 and so they also bought the rights for "Mythbusters". Maybe you should google stuff before you act like you know it.

[@DrEckig]

@@dovesr0478 No Banijay, a french media company bought Beyond International in 2022. So it's the exact opposite of "bootleg" haha

[@FiboFractal.]

So basically, its now a children's show because it reminds me of similar teen cast science tv programs I used to watch when I was 12

[@familydogg1234]

Helicopters cant fly high enough to have parachuters. Buster is such a dummy. Fun Fact - with no tires on rims- the speedometer wont be accurate

[@Kallavs]

BIG FAIL FROM 10 yrs ago nice

[@Kallavs]

Thats all it was and u guys should have figured out already , duct tape is way heavier than parachute material, so this video was for what ……….thats like a myth for 5yr olds not college students, even my dog said that wont work…..😂😂😂😊😊😢😢😢
