I'm honestly amazed by how little safety equipment they were wearing while doing this. I wouldn't want to sit on that riding mower without at least a helmet, and face mask.
I got hit by a rock that flew out lawnmower while my stepdad was mowing. It broke my eye socket and my eye was in my hand also chipped and broke my skull and long story short all the bones was shattered…. I was 8 and now 32

I once got a stick in the eye that was propelled from a lawnmower. It took out my eye, and the ironic thing is they replaced it with a wooden eye. I can still see out of it but the reception is a little grainy.
I did yard work for 50 years on weekends and after a full time job. I had all the equipment for the work. Only one time I had a problem with a rock. It was about the size of a golf ball. It got under my 22HP mower and sailed into a school parking lot breaking out a window of an empty school bus about 35 feet away!😮 The bus driver came running to see what had happened. We were thankful no people or children were around which would have been bad. If I ran your mowers I would have a lot of safety equipment on!!☠️ I became more thorough checking for anything that would become a missile. The rock overpowered the safety door so I put sheet metal screws in it to hold it down. Thankfully nothing like that happened again. Don’t run lawn equipment in shorts and flip flops! Keep everyone away from you and wear safety glasses. Nobody in the yard and no free rides!!
Also have to watch out for bones. Hit an old dog chew bone with a zero turn and it became shrapnel hitting a wall. Would not want to be on the other end of that. Have noticed the deck design on the kobota tractor doesn't really fling rocks but the Husqvarna zero turn does like it's the main job it has. The tractor with lots more power feels way safer to be around.
Last year I was mowing our backyard and I ran over my dogs chew toy which was a rubber ball sort of thing, was hollow on the inside but thick on the outside and the lawnmower launched it and hit the metal fence that separates the pool deck from the backyard and it bent two of the bars severely. Now imagine it hitting a person…
I was working with my landlord, doing some landscaping on his properties, and I was raking up leaves while he mowed on a big riding mower. I got hit right in the face with a small rock about the size of a marble. Cracked my left orbital bone and left a huge gash in the skin. If it was just 2 cm to the right, it would have blinded me and destroyed my eye completely.
My dad was mowing the lawn with a riding mower once and a chunch of metal from a semi truck accident earlier that year got shot through our window right next to wear me and my sister were sitting 10 minutes earlier
Really surprised Adam was willing to stand behind that mower in the first place. Yeah, the majority of debris goes out the little shoot on the side, but I’ve been grazed in the leg by a piece of wood or small rock that shot out the back of the mower before. Didn’t even see what I mowed over and just felt the sting of the debris going through my jeans and scraping my leg.
I feel lucky myself, was mowing the lawn once, heard a very loud bang, and saw a rock had punched through the metal protective cover off to the side. 😅
Chasing the leader in an enduro race your getting hit (with body armour) in the chest by the bike spitting up golf ball size rocks going 180kmph. Even with Kevlar armour it leaves your whole chest blue from bruises.
Talk to Stephen King about lawnmowers..: his only foray into directing went horribly, horribly wrong when his director of photography ended up with blindness in one eye after a robotic lawnmower would respond to the remote during the filming of Maximum Overdrive… upon reading of the situations..: i wondered why they needed a actual blade attached to said lawnmower anyway… remove the blade and merely make the sound effects.
The fact that no one was behind bullet proof glass while they were testing makes me think they were pretty sure there's nothing to the myth before they even started.
3600 rpm = 60 revolutions per second. 6 ft per revolution = 360 ft per second (theoretical) That exceeds most bows and arrows that have killed people for thousands of years.
When I was a kid, a neighbor ran over a "pooper scooper" with his lawn mower. It was made of metal and a fragment hit him in the head and penetrated his brain. He survived but the story did and still does terrify me.
Rocks or stones or little chunks of wire flying out from underneath a lawn mower are considered a perfect storm as a kid I had heard stories about people getting wires driven into their legs from push mowers Stones being propelled add surprising velocity it just don't happen all the time though trying to create a condition is nearly impossible
A rock knocked up by a lawnmower once hit out window. It went straight through the first layer of glass, leaving a clean hole. It didn't mark the second layer though.
I would’ve thought they would’ve used a riding mower that would’ve been a lot easier to go over the rocks and a lot more likely that people would miss them. OK I was a little premature :-) but still I was thinking in between the zero turn and what they used.
my friends and I would throw milk weed seeds, these like pods that contain a fluffy seed, into a mower we tilted up, we were dumb, but it sure was cool, we never wrote anything down, so it wasnt science, it was just messing around lol
The whole rock experiment is so flawed. They only used one type of rock. The type of rock also shattered when the mower blade contacted it. A lot of energy would have been lost in the breaking of the rock. You need to use rocks of different density and hardness to determine what type of energy transfer you can get. Also the amount of kinetic energy isn't necessarily what makes the rock or bullet dangerous. Bullets actually don't have that much kinetic energy. What makes a bullet dangerous is that the energy is focused into a small surface area of a hard/dense object which can pierce your skin and fatally wound you. There is more energy transfer from punching someone than shooting them. You would much rather be punched though.
This was cool and all. And I did like it. But this was in that time where they left out Kari, Torry and Grant. Was somehow not the same. That said though. This sort of thing needs to be brought back. Obvioussly not the same peeps, and or format. But a show of breaking down ideas and thoughts in ways of testing them, and by people with not really Science backgrounds.
Doesn't matter if the 🪨 comes out at the speed of a bullet or not,all that matters is that if you get hit by 1 from a mower then it will either be fatal or you aren't gonna be happy or ok. Lol
I cut the grass at the front of the house and then the side ,front took the door window out and the side took an 8foot window out ,pea gravel had been mixed in with grass ,, lucky insurance had started
God I miss this show
This was my favorite show that I ever watched. They’re nothing like it on TV anymore.
The insane laughter from Jamie is amazing.

Adam says on tested that there's far more safety measures involved and hazards considered than is actually shown on camera
They must have been incredibly confident
@@ColHogan-zg2pc The hemet and leather padding must be just off-camera. Or they have Superman on staff to catch errant rocks.
We need more Mythbusters ❤ those times were awesome

Horrid. The eye came out? Was the eye totally busted?
@@kukatahansa yeah it came out. I had an anxiety and panic attack from having to hold my eye back in. Dude it was horrible. I still got the scar.

I've been blasted by an errant rock while mowing the lawn before. The force is easily sufficient to be serious, or even fatal in a flook incident.
They look like they’re getting along just fine.

From years of mowing and weed wacker use, I've had dozens of nicks and cuts. I actually have rocks imbedded in my shins. Lol. Thank you!
The lawnmower would have to be at the right speed, perfect angle with the right size of rock and shape plus wet or dry.
My dad was mowing the lawn with a riding mower once and a chunch of metal from a semi truck accident earlier that year got shot through our window right next to wear me and my sister were sitting 10 minutes earlier
I don’t know which bothers me more, Adam rendered speechless, or Adam’s release to Jamie being “um”.

I was hit in the head by a rock from a mower when I was 5. I still have a scar from it 48 years later.

I got hit on the ankle by a councils seated mower as it threw a rock, right on the nobbly bone of the ankle, it floored me. It hurt so much.
Watching them do stuff and then be like "aw crap this really dangerous" is amazing. I wish this was still a thing.
To many rocks at once if all the force hits one that has a greater than hardness it could be fatally I busted a window out of a car with a weed eater
Oo you should use flint! That'll be pretty
Grass shoot fits in that safety catch.
Happened to me, didn’t kill anyone but it busted out the window to our van.
Jaime, did you ever do extra work for CSI(season 8 Episode 15)
I would’ve thought they would’ve used a riding mower that would’ve been a lot easier to go over the rocks and a lot more likely that people would miss them. OK I was a little premature :-) but still I was thinking in between the zero turn and what they used.
Remind me when I was little my dad say stay away from the mower sticks me come flying 50 yards away I got hit in the forehead by one

Hmm, special effects expert can't even picture the physics. Me having never had a single physics class, has an idea.
I knew at the beginning that astroturf wasn't gonna make it.
I put about 20 holes in a truck door and shattered the window when i ran over a patch of rock by a parked truck
I would have used granite myself

WTF? Why would you only upload part of this myth?
Why a .357? A 22 short can kill. Hell, a BB from a BB gun can kill if it hits you in the right spot.
Just random speculation from whoever invented the dumb myth
A bb gun won't kill you due to lack of fps
Congratulations 🎉 from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🙏
A 358 will fire 3 different types of bullets.
You are just going to slow the motor down if you keep goìng over the rocks which slos the motor ðown.....
