      I mean, Kevin is a child. He doesn't have the ability to realize how badly his traps can hurt someone. Nearly every trap he builds would have been fatal in real life, some stupidly so. The *one hundred-pound* bag of cement to the head would have completely crushed Harry's head, if not just crushed him into a misshapen mess of bone and meat on the floor. Horrifying.

    • @lucykitsune4619
      @lucykitsune4619 4 года назад +6

      You probably would get at least a concussion from falling backwards down the stairs, but hey at least the can would only break your nose, jaw and crack your skull instead of ripping open your neck and breaking your spine. You are VERY heavy compared to the paintcan. Every speed you pick up because of the paintcan makes the paintcan multiple times slower. You DEFINITELY have to go to the hospital after that but it is absolutely survivable.

    Well, two notes on these experiments: yeah, the heater thing checks out just fine (it's obvious it won't work the way it "did" in the movie), but for the crowbar and the paint bucket you neglected two significant factors.
    First the paint bucket: both Harry and Marv have been knocked backwards by the force of the paint bucket, which implied that the collision was almost completely elastic i.e. the kinetic energy of the bucket has been transferred to the burglars i.e. knocked them over, whereas the dummy with the ballistic gel seems to have been affixed to the stairs specifically to avoid that, thus making the results somewhat irrelevant.
    The other thing is the crowbar: yeah, it's heavy and yeah, it can be deadly, but Harry has been hit with full winter clothes on (i.e. at least a shirt, a sweatshirt and maybe an undershirt too) that dampens the force of the crowbar A LOT, not with bare skin. Once again, a helluva difference.

    Update: Just checked, yes they were opened and used. They weren't full cans, if you check the scene, the cans had a bunch of pink paint drip off points indicating that paint had been used. So the test with the paint cans was flawed, maybe for a future video you could try paints cans with different amounts of paint in them to determine if you could walk away from taking one to the face.

    • @Nolroa
      @Nolroa 6 лет назад +31

      Another factor to consider: The skeleton with ballistic gel was fixed to the ground making him receive all the impact of the paint can. A good part of the force of the hit would be dissipated when the hit push the body backwards (In the movie the thieves are hit by the cans but they fall back) so that it did not receive all the force of the impact from the paint can.

      Well actually if you are defending yourself from people IN your home you have the right to do what is necessary to keep you safe that includes if you kill them for example if they are chasing you will a crowbar and you shot them and they die it would be marked as self defense most likely with no jail time at all, although if they don't enter the house and are just on you property that would be a different story. But it depends on the state you are in if you would be tried in juvenile court or not, also it depends on the circumstances whether or not you are dismissed for self defense or not, also depending on if you were charged the circumstances would also take part in how long you would go to jail.

      I mean, that the head probably will not be decapitated. You end up with the broken nose, jaw, and with a concussion. You can also lose several teeth.
      Force of impact will send his body backward. The experiment had a significant flaw. Dummy was attached to the stairs and the body wouldn't be.

      You can’t train spiders. Lolol they are just some docile species that allow you to do stuff like that. They run by instinct alone. They don’t have a brain that “remembers” like mammals or even reptiles. They can’t even recognize their handlers. I own the same type as in the movie. They are not cognitive at all.
      Also they are venomous, HOWEVER, it’s more like a bee sting venom. Especially the specific species they used.
      But again, it’s highly unlikely that specific breed would tag you. They generally only bite their prey so you probably wouldn’t ever get bit. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    The paint trap experiment is wrong because the “body” is fixed on the ground. So the damage are much higher than if it was not ( the body would move backward with the impact and lesser the damage).

    • @Oscar797

      @@Oscar797 neck only broke back like that because body was fixed to stairs. In reality, the impact would transfer down and your whole body would shift backwards.
      Having the dummy fixed also prevented the can from swinging through the head as well and transferred much more energy to the skull and neck.

      Anything in the US that actually matters uses the metric system. It's taught in schools throughout the country. The issue is that everyone is already well versed in the Imperial system. So for basic day-to-day activities, people tend to use Imperial measurements.
      In fact, it would be a pretty big economic and safety issue to suddenly stop using Imperial units.
