To be fair we do actually have air ducts at work that could fit a person, now it wouldn't be all that comfortable but you could get through it, well assuming the air duct won't just fall down seeing as they're not designed for carrying the weight of a grown adult.
On top of this being HILARIOUS I loved the idea that other people completing the same secret mission might bump into each other during the air vent sneak. Bravo Graenolf!
Some places (larger commercial buildings) do have ducts big enough to fit a person, it also depends on where it is, if it’s closer to the source it’ll be bigger. The ones branching off into smaller rooms are gonna be a lot smaller though. I’m an electrician, I’ve had to work on damper motors inside of ducts a couple times, and it’s better at holding human weight than you’d think (I was around 180 at the time). There are some screws to be careful of but it’s really not a big deal they’re few and far between. The biggest issue with the movies is that damper motors have fins that basically separate one area from another so that a room at 66 degrees can be nice and chilly while the room next to it is 74. You can’t crawl through those fins even when they’re open so for people in movies to go from one side of the building crawling allll over the place is impossible.
also, even for large industrial air ducts, about 42 inches wide and 12 to 30 inches tall - the seams of the ducts are going to have sharp edges and corners on the inside. because obviously they're not thinking, "but what if someone tried to crawl through this, they'd be gutted like a fish!" also, all ducts are connected to a central location, called a plenum. but they aren't all connected to each other. the chances that you'd be able to use the duct system to get from room A to room B, and spy on masked guards who are melting down vats of sugar, is unlikely. last but not least, ducts are LOUD. y'know how when you're in an old building and you hear a loud BANG BANG POP as air moves through the ducts and they expand a little? now, imagine if that was an entire human in there. BANG BANG POP. they'd hear you from two floors down. how do i know this? let's just say...for work...(i work in HVAC lolol)
My Dad has an air duct cleaning business so I have seen just how dirty air ducts get. Sometimes it’s just dusty but other times it is disturbing. Dead animals, bugs, urine, huge clumps of animal hair, and construction debris just to name a few.
Wow, literally last night my buddy and I were talking about how the air ducts at work are actually big enough to EASILY crawl through. They might collapse because they are just hanging from the ceiling by thin metal rods, but you could crawl in them. They'd still be dusty as hell inside tho.
The kids having a blast in the background noise really did it for me. Like when a musical artist leaves background talking in a track they recorded. Magnifique 🔥
I wish there were more actual sneaking in movies. Using shadows and sounds to distract Guards. Video games do it so well but rarely movies. You should make a real sneaking around video
@@DeathnoteBB well it *IS* unrealistic. if you see a shadow. that looks kinda human like.. would you go watch and think "hmmmm, what could that beee...." ? No of course not. you are directly alarmed.
@@zero.Identity are you trying to tell me that when someone is sneaking up on you, you *dont* go "must have been the wind" and carry on with your day with your pockets much lighter?
It looked like a McDonalds slide and if that were the case, then they're defineately bigger than in Europe. Because ours said 'not above 10' and I went in anyway, despite being 11 (and the tallest in my class) and I got stuck in a painful position with my head twisted sideways and my sister had to get help and push me out carefully, while confused tiny toddlers crawled past and wondered what I did there.
@@yourmum69_420 Haha, it was, I thought I was going to snap my neck. Luckily it went alright and I´ve never climbed into a slide again (that's not true, I never climbed into a closed-off-at-the-top-one again. I have gotten stuck with my hips on an open-at-the-top-one, and several swingsets (sitting-area only, not the ones for toddlers.). I think I'll never learn.
@@Widdekuu91 one time I went in a mcdonalds play area thing, (it was in canada and it was huge (by my tiny child standards)) and I got "lost" in a plastic tunnel that looks like the slide in this vid. I was so scared... not of being lost exactly, but of being trapped. That was my first experience of claustrophobia. I'm not one of these people who are scared of lifts (elevators) or anything, but that was scary
@@Widdekuu91 so what I'm saying is that I would be scared even without the injury. The fact you were trapped in a painful position and felt like you would snap your neck by moving... Jesus. I can't even imagine the terror tbh. I'd be stressed af
"Attention prisoners attempting to escape via the air ducts: I don't know what nonsense you learned on television, but in real life, air ducts just go to the air conditioning unit. Its also pretty dusty, so if you have asthma, chances are you're gonna die up there. And we'll be smelling it for weeks, because again, the air ducts aren't a secret escape tunnel. They're how we ventilate the facility." -Cave Johnson (shortly before he got shived by escaping prisoners)
I remember when ATLA made fun of this. In the episode when King Bumi trapped them in a room, they came up with the plan to escape through an air vent, but it was too small. They tried to send Momo but even he couldn't fit. By the end of the episode, it turned out that the air duct was useless.
"I'm going in," and the head tilt made me laugh way more than I should have. 🤣 Also the slide part was really hilarious; you seemed genuinely tickled. Mission Impossible. 😂
I had a story where the contractors for the badguys building made vents large enough to crawl through so they could sneak in afterwards. I mostly just thought it was funny.
I used to work in sheet metal...real life air ducts have a ton of screws and sharp metal sticking out that would tear you up! Not to mention that if you managed to get into a duct big enough for a person, it would be incredibly loud as you crawled around in there and not stealthy at all. Unless the HVAC was terrible, it wouldn't fall out of the ceiling, but it would definitely not be recommended or pleasant.
My old house had an air duct on the ground in the hallway with a grate over it that could fit three people cramped. It was just a box shaped hole. You couldn't go anywhere though since it branched off into ducts the same size as the ones at your house.
We deff have large ducts you can fit in especially for industrial areas but the duct probably wouldn't hold together, the dust would be overwhelming, and depending on the output of air that'd be a lot to deal with too. Plus, depending on how the duct was put together you'd have to deal with a lot of sharp screws.
I vaguely remember getting stuck in an air vent once during hide and seek. I was tiny back then but so was the vent, and in my hubris I thought I could fit easily. Mistakes were made.
The problem is really the noise. Knowing you can hear a 300 gram mouse in the ceiling, imagine the ruckus an 80kg man crawling above you would make. Same issue is all the parkour on rooves, its not stealthy cause you'd hear them from a mile off. I wish they'd abandon this trope, makes me roll my eyes everytime.
@@crazy808ish This is the guy that's fun at parties, people! States the bleeding obvious, desperately hoping it passes for cynicism and wit. Bad news, mate.
Ductwork for commercial buildings is usually bigger than residential ductwork. At my work after we finish making a piece we’ll crawl inside of it to seal the seams
Sci fi ships always have large air ducts. It’s in the rules of building space ships. Also the most important part of the ship with the most important shut down switch will be in a room and suspended high in the hair with one tiny bridge to reach it with no railing.
imagine how *THICK* your ceiling must be if air ducts where so big btw funfact, we dont really have these in normal buildings in germany. only in industrial stuff Edit: i mean airducts in general.
MY BROTHER IN CHRIST!!! Don’t stand on them X shaped piano stools especially stacking stuff! I was trying to change a lightbulb standing on one of them and I fell and a little piece of my tibia broke off I had to have surgery and I was in a wheelchair for six weeks I’m still in PT!!! Be careful Graenolf the world needs your comedy!!
We are talking residential vs commercial/industrial air vents with one being much bigger then the other. The true question is if the larger ones could handle the weight.
Not to mention the fans to circulate air will be impossible to pass, but just suppose it is a secret laboratory or similar case I would not be surprised that there's a fence to prevent people from crossing at areas and pressure pads or similar things to prevent people or remote robots or drones from entering. You would think with all the movies using it if a real place wanted to remain secure they do some cheap prevention methods.
"What do you MEAN a sheet of aluminum 1/32 of an inch thick with no significant structural support couldn't hold up the body of a 190 pound secret agent?!?"

@@conformistbastard9842 True, but those aren't usually clean and shiny. And they might have loose screws poking out
pretty amazing look at the new Mission Impossible. did you know Tom Cruise shrunk his body to actually fit into a real air duct?
Tom doesn't have to shrink his body, look at him
I thought they would deepfake a mouse, but you’re right.. he does his own stunts.
@@Graenolf are you trying to tell me they DON’T deepfake mice 🤨
You’re being glib, you’re being very glib.
Nah Tom Cruise didn't have to shrink
Let's not forget about all of the screws that would be digging into your skin if by some chance you did manage to get in the air duct!
Screws aren’t used to hold them together though there’s sleeves of sheet metal on the outside wrapped around the connected pieces

They should have small air ducts in spaceships and space stations, so that xenomorphs couldn't sneak around.

We are talking residential vs commercial/industrial air vents with one being much bigger then the other. The true question is if the larger ones could handle the weight.

This happens in video games too
I’ve actually been inside a large air vent that went to the ungerground lab of the Ft. Worth Science Museum. I only had to hunch over slightly.
Not to mention the fans to circulate air will be impossible to pass, but just suppose it is a secret laboratory or similar case I would not be surprised that there's a fence to prevent people from crossing at areas and pressure pads or similar things to prevent people or remote robots or drones from entering. You would think with all the movies using it if a real place wanted to remain secure they do some cheap prevention methods.
yeah i thought so too
It's up there with ceiling hatches in elevators... it ain't happenin'!!
Industrial air ducts are like 3ftx3ft and could easily fit a person. They just couldn't handle the weight.
That's why you should exclusively hire cats for your stealth missions, if the head goes through then the entire rest will too
That's nuts.

Aren't industrial ducts a bit bigger? Sounds like an opportunity for research.
