47:42 "now, we know that with 100 lbs of amfo, we can make this crab pot disappear!" ah yes, a good ol' "misting" of objects that they do on Mythbusters
That Power Nap theory works in a conditioned way. You become used to grabbing sleep where you can as opposed to this test where they try to grab a 20 min nap every 6 hours after living a completely normal life - in regards to their sleep schedule.
Yeah. As someone who spent several years in military, when you get conditioned to get no sleep, you sleep anywhere. I've literally fallen asleep in the apc crew compartment during 15 min motor marches, and I've got to say, after a week of barely sleep at all, those 15-minute naps push you forward a lot. When you get no sleep, you take any sleep you can, and your body is extremely grateful for whatever it can get. Anyways, yeah, short powernaps help a ton, but only when you've already conditioned your body to get no sleep at all
@@mikaelranki There is a limit how much those short naps can help to unscramble your mind. Four days of hard training exercise with about three hours of sleep IN TOTAL makes it hard to say what is real and what is fatigue-induced hallucination. Latter can be very real indeed. One thing is certain: lack of sleep is something you can't train yourself to endure better.
The danger from getting your foot caught in the line is not just going over the rail. Those ships are in motion. Even if it just pins you against the rail and you don't go over, you'll be dragged along the rail as the ship keeps moving.
Imagine having 800lbs hanging off your leg by a rope whether you are dragged over or not. It would probably just snap off whatever it was wrapped around.
Thanks BBC for uploading everything for free on RUclips. Greetings from Brazil! I have loved your documentaries since a little kiddo, showing phenomenal nature videography captures! Love y'all! ❤️
for being infamously "one of the worst episodes ever"... I think its overhated. Yeah the sleep deprivation myth is a boring type of myth (and one of those "common sense confirmation" cases), but its nice to see them testing a mundane myth with real-life aplicability again. And the buster-rope was fun enough to watch them struggle with the logistics of buster just refusing to be grabbed that i cant hate this episode. I agree the obligatory explosion-excuse myth was kinda lame compared to other explosion myths (literally just "look can we blow it up" with no narative myth-story is clearly just the famous "contractual explosion"). But the episode as a whole is "mid" not "terrible" like everyone complains.
a part of that is the setup. buster gets pulled into the launch rig going forwards sometimes saving him. what if that setup is on the other side of the boat or mirrored. he gets pulled away from the launch rig.
Does anybody else think they keep putting Buster too CLOSE to the action? The rope needs space to throw him to the floor from the original position, and the later tests have no other way than to pull him into the mechanism.
They always do the stupidest most obvious mistakes. Mythbusters are the original "king of cap" for attention. So many episodes are not even close to attempted, let alone confirmed
join military. You'll find out that you've never actually been "dead tired" enough to fall asleep instantly. I usually take a long time to fall asleep as well, but I've fallen asleep during 15min motor marches during exercises where i haven't really gotten any sleep at all during a whole week. And let me tell you those 15-min powernaps have been more refreshing than any 8 h sleep when im able to sleep whenever i want. It's all about conditioning your body. When you assume that you might not have any sleep at all during next 30h while already being dead tired, you'll fall asleep anywhere any time.
I think just laying down and closing your eyes for 20 minutes might help a little bit even if you don't fall asleep. I've had nights where I tried to sleep but couldn't, and I felt relatively OK the day after compared to nights where I didn't even try to sleep.
It might have been impressive to try detonation cord to "disassemble" the crab pot. 3 pounds is 1.36kg. Wikipedia says _" for precision rock carving work-may use 50 to 250 grain/foot (10 to 50 g/m) detonating cord"_ So, 1.36kg of 50 g/m det. cord is over 27 metres, or almost 90 feet. The crab pot has 8 corners with 3 steel bars on each (24 'cuts',). Wrap every steel bar twice, each a metre of det cord, close to each corner, and discover if it would "disassemble" the crab pot, completely removing all 8 corners. Mr A. Savage? Best Wishes. ☮
I went without sleep for nearly 6 days during a world record stunt (4 person pop group playing non-stop). I tried sleeping for my 1 hour break once, which was disastrous. I was semi-delirious and paranoid for hours afterwards. I did the rest of the time without sleeping at all and did much better. Strangely, I couldn't sleep after the stunt for about 18 hours. I thought I'd forgotten how. When I did sleep, I didn't wake for 24 hours!
@@vksasdgaming9472 It was, for a few days, but I went on to get two university degrees and had a career writing medical education for specialist doctors, so I seem to have recovered quite well. Oh, and our stunt raised money to send a little girl for brain surgery. We also got an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.
No wonder Adam loves bobbyfingers. If you haven't seen it, I'd watch there Collab then watch all his previous stuff. My fave is goose rollercoaster. His band is great too rubber bandits are hilarious
Most crab boxes go off the back off a boat without railings plus the ship is moving the opposite way , good luck if that ever happens , wouldn’t want that happening to me
Plus the fact that those ships work in very wet conditions, which makes everything very slippery, so even if he gets caught in something, there's a high chance he'll slip away.
the height of the gunwale used in this experiment appears to be much higher than on crab boats seen on deadliest catch. buster looks to have his waistline below the edge while rewatching the time someone did get caught in the rope, their hips were above the gunwale. also buster has much harder to remove limbs than real people, i don't know the breaking point of the human knee nor will i google it and land myself on a watch list. but i reckon 700 pounds focused around the rope's surface area would be very uh bad for flesh...
Yup It looks like the leg would have snapped or be torn off. The question of if this happens before or after going overboard is probably the difference between life or death in the time to apply a tourniquet to stop fatal bleeding.
How could they not see the flaw in testing the rope myth? That massive rig they built is getting in the way. Every. Single. Time. I fully believe he'd have gone over about 90% of the time without it. The fact they got a positive result on this one at all is just pure dumb luck.
There is something more important than that: in a real scenario the ship is in motion and in a wet environment. Buster would be dragged along the ship and slip easily, even if he gets caught in something.
Guys this is soooo old look how young everyone is. Also all those models simulating buster getting pulled over wpuld have dragged him down in real life. They did not take into acpunt the forces, and drag of the pot.
Common sense says you would not be dragged to the bottom. The pot hit the bottom while the bouys float. You would be pulled down as far as where you were caught in the line. For example, if the line was caught around you leg/ankle 5 feet from the pot, it'll drag you 5 feet from the bottom. Our bodys float, so although you'd definitely be dragged down, by an 800 lb pot, you would never touch bottom
I miss watching them always, rest in peace grant imahara

I think the duct tape survival episode in the desert was faaar worse. this one is ok but boring to me
I'd never thought show like this will get a crossover.
geniunely crazy how these guys dont run out of myths
Adam mentioned that this was cross promotion episode, and these werent rly myhts. Probalby they made them up for this episode
why did they stop making the series if they didn't run out of myths?
Does anybody else think they keep putting Buster too CLOSE to the action?

A 20 minute nap would not work for me as it takes me close to 2 hours just to fall asleep, even when dead tired

If you got certificate or good payment it might have been worth it. Can't even imagine how confused and messed up your head is after such stunt.

Only 30 hours no sleep? Rookie numbers.
You could tell the MythBusters didn't like the deadliest Catch guys.
Nah that's just you nerd
9:10
I think they should have been tugged around 12 miles from shore. That is usually where you stop seeing land.
No wonder Adam loves bobbyfingers.

didnt Junior have a greenhorn actually die on his boat?they called him Moose, a big african american guy who went over by the noose!!
The nap thing is real thing Japanese business workers power nap and they also do it in schools
BeardTory LESGOOO
Why are they wearing turnout gear on that boat? 😂🤷♂️
Was wondering the same thing😂
Nice
It's fortunate that the crabs don't have access to high-grade explosives. On the other hand, it wont help them if they are inside the cage.
Please upload the "MythBusters Mini Myths" series! I can't find it anywhere but Amazon.
How could they not see the flaw in testing the rope myth? That massive rig they built is getting in the way. Every. Single. Time. I fully believe he'd have gone over about 90% of the time without it. The fact they got a positive result on this one at all is just pure dumb luck.

I started smoking because of this show
Always loved the Discovery Channel crossovers! ❤
You need to re-engineer, "The fact" that boats have INSANE lift with high seas which can rip a boat in half, let alone a human made of skin and bone.
Adam being Adam
Unfortunately this is not myth that needed to be busted.
I know of least 2 people that have died this way in our local fishing industry.
So many factors are missed in these tests....... Make them lift weights for 6 hrs before every nap
How many of Carrie Tori and Grant's myths could also be used as enhanced interrogation techniques
surprise, nobody says I don't even like seafood 😂❤❤
Oh yeah, getting into the real slop of the series now
your small model was flawed as the pulley pulling the rope was on the right of the boat not underneath, can't properly replicate that way
Wow I caught this early
Aside from it airing over a decade ago.
@@L33tSkE3t you mean this wasn't a brand new episode? Smh
Guys this is soooo old look how young everyone is.
Also all those models simulating buster getting pulled over wpuld have dragged him down in real life.
They did not take into acpunt the forces, and drag of the pot.
😂❤😂❤
the crop...
Buster overboard 8s still not accurate.You in calm waters no waves washing across the deck

The other 3 co hosts always get crap myths to test it made the show boring
Adam’s over zealous acting annoys the hell out of me
Most forced episode in Mythbusters, if you ask me...
This is crap
My least favorite Mythbusters episode
4th 😁 also can't believe I'm thus early
3rd, I guess ._.
Too many spoilers in the intro. SMH
Another re-upload ... so I guess yall just going to recycle videos and give them new thumbnails?
you do realise this show finished filming 6 years ago and these are nothing but reuploads. I think it's good cause it gets more people in
You may have missed the news but Mythbusters kinda ended a while ago. This is just to make it officially accessible to people. Which is cool :)
Are you that dense and dumb really?
From India
6th
sadly one of the lamest episodes
early af
Stop with all that talk , just get those w⚓ on the Time Bandit for a season and you they wil know firsthand if the myth is true . 😁😁👍👍👍
