"Jamie decided that adding 1.85 oz of TNT to the inert grenade would be just the right little "surprise" for Adam"
The rascal!

We need to thank the producers of the original video for making a semi realistic grenade blast.
Very true, no flames or giant explosion for once lmao
Yeah but debris raining down a good 3 seconds later and more than 15 meters from the explosion?
@@remcodenouden5019 you know they shoot shrapnel for about 500 meters or centimeters I cant remember, they blow shit that is far away from them the fuck away

*Sounds pretty moist*
It pains me knowing in that show THREE people(including kids at least aged 10) never once in the two hour frame thought about kicking down a window to throw the grenade out. Breaking down the door. Tying the grenade off. They literally just sit their waiting to die
darwin award comes to mind
Wait.. I've seen this family before. Weren't they in a prior episode where she accidentally locked her kids in a car and it took 2 hours to get them out?
They probably thought it would explode immediately after releasing the spoon
Honestly, the writers who were in charge of that should never write again ... but if that were the case, the CW and their ilk would never have any content (and the world would be a better place for it).
Leftists make these shows and that’s the thought process they have: sit here helpless until someone fixes it for you
Adam: something to raise the stakes?
Jamie: Just a little
Adam: *lets go*
Adam: *explodes*
Ezra Ong I was thinking the same thing lmao
What if raising the stakes meant using a real grenade?
He only exploded a little it’s fine
Rest in peace Adam, it turns out you can't flush your poop with the pee button.

How long can you hold down the spoon on a grenade, the rest of your life, minus 4 seconds.
plus 4 second
FDog16 No, you let go of the spoon and you live for another 4 seconds from the delay fuse from the grenade, then you die. So you can hold the grenade for the rest of your life, minus 4 seconds.
Kyle Hershey No, you let go of the spoon and you live for another 4 seconds from the delay fuse from the grenade, then you die. So you can hold the grenade for the rest of your life, minus 4 seconds.
What he means is that the 4 secounds that you're not holding it is minus. So for the rest of your life you are holding the grenade minus the 4 seconds where you wait for it to eksplode
If there is a window in the room you are locked in, you can break the window and throw the grenade.
Jamie: This is pretty eas-
**grenade explodes, followed by meaty wack**
**both chuckle**
You gotta take into account the psychological factor. In the movie she was holding a live grenade with her family in close proximity in an enclosed space. Not to mention the common person doesn't really know how grenades work, so she was probably holding the spring really tight, not knowing she didnt have to. The adrenaline that was certainly pumping through her body could also have made her arm muscles lose energy and grip in the long term.
Yeah but after an hour you would 100% get over all that stuff and think logically
The irony that she sat there for x amount of hours holding a grenade and the guy shows up and within five seconds has it cost away relatively safely😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
true but usually the thinking comes back when the pain/cramps do. you see this with criminals
are you trying to say that you are not "the common person"
got some main character syndrome there?
YOU know how a grenade works. why the hell wouldn't she?
@@darkracer1252 well we all know you don't sit there and hold onto it, you throw it and get cover
The woman probably held it tight since she was scared, so her muscles would tire faster
Yes! my thoughts exactly
Well she can hold my grenade tight anytime she wants
Alec Hern
Nah, she had no reason to be scared, it was only a movie ;)
well yea, this guy knew he never was in mortal danger if he let go, so he probly used the bare minimum amount of strength to hold it, while in a real life situation you would probly grip it as tight as you could and also waste energy of trying to get the grenade away from you, so i am not sure if this is 100% accurate. the mind thinks diffrently when you are in mortal danger so its probly hard to do this test.
1:26 i must have one of those.

I don't think you understand how powerful a grenade can be in a closed room; even if the furniture stops the shrapnel the shockwave alone can easily kill you

Last one to let go of grenade wins $10000 Mr. Beast challenge
@Alan Luong too bad this is the wrong video. Great idea, don't think Mr. Beast will see your comment.
I’m From Iowa uh oh somebody is not getting the joke here
@El Ma funny you should say that, cause if you break down my previous comment. You’d see that I agree with Alan Luong’s comment while mentioning that Mr. Beast won't read his comment unless his curiosity wonders into the comment section of this video. Besides don't you think Mr. Beast & his crew are working on the next video RN?
Looks like someone needs everything explained to them like a little kid does.
I’m From Iowa first of all I never said that you disagree with him about the idea but all I said is you’re taking the joke too seriously by saying Mr beast might see this comment when it’s was just a joke
But your massive ego can’t comprehend this and proclaim anyone a little kid who disagrees with you
@El Ma I don't have time to argue. Unlike you who never got attention growing up so you seek attention by arguing with people despite people’s differences.
Instead of judging people based on their comments you got offended by, try having them explain what they mean.
To all those who don't know how a grenade works.... at the top of a grenade there is a hammer/striker that is spring loaded. This hammer is held in the tension position by the "spoon" which is the handle coming off to one side. The spoon is held in place with a pin and a travel cap when they first arrive. When dealing with standard grenades you can remove and replace the safety pin as many times as you like as long as the spoon remains depressed. If the spoon is lifted then the hammer will strike the fuse cap starting a "5 second fuse" it's usually 5 seconds. If this happens then Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend and you need to throw it AT LEAST 25 feet away ( to avoid fragments throw farther) and drop to the ground to avoid concussion injuries.
So since I never held a grenade.
If I pull the pin and hold it depressed I could just put the same pin back in and leave it right?
@@christianwagner7230 you got it.
@@Tinorr28 that kinda make them less scary just even higher respect of them
@@christianwagner7230just dont play around with the pin
@@christianwagner7230 Not even just a pin. Many, many military memoirs from WW2 and Vietnam include guys replacing the pins with either more or less durable retaining materials for various purposes (often making booby traps). The bare minimum was to tape the pin down so you didn't catch it on something accidentally before you yanked it out.
Had a recruit panic on a grenade range a few years ago and he point blank refused to throw the grenade after pulling the pin. We just taped his hand closed and called EOD. They stuck a bit of stiff wire back through the hole, cut the tape and dude cholked the guy out to make him let go.
It's also a psychological thing though, the woman had to worry about her children on top of the fact that it was a real grenade making her nervous and even probably sweaty. While sure you could tie it down, she would also risk making one small mistake and ending it all
Or... she could have thrown it out the window.
@@emoimo4171 the windows that are covered by wood from the outside?
Knighted Waifu
Yeah.
She could have just held on to it while having one of her kids tie her hand closed around it.
She's called Mette
Why not just switch hands every hour??
She could do that, buuut for the logic of the film, let's just say she had the brain power of my left nut.
Or maybe she was to scared it would come off accidentally is she switched hands or used the objects at her disposal.
Mikkel Jørgensen or she could just throw it out quickly?
Solid Evidence well that’s possible in the video because there’s really no risk, but let’s be realistic. If you’re holding a LIVE grenade you would risk switching hands cause if you let go at all you’re life’s over
GwuapoManuel throw the grenade then
@@sparkywolftail where to
You can also put the pin back in a grenade or make something that will go back into it. The fuse isn't lit until the spoon is released. So if you replace the pin or something resembling the pin then the grenade is no longer a danger.
You’d have to trust a foreign object to hold the pressure though, don’t want it to suddenly snap
@@warbreakr that's not how grenades work. A simple bobby pin and 2-3 paperclips would hold the spoon. You could use the internal of a pen. Now I'd get away from it and have it disposed of, but it's not gonna go off.
@@JokerX126 Is the pressure on the spoon really that little? Find that hard to imagine, then again, I've never held one in my life lol
@@warbreakr from what i had been told. 5 pounds is all you need to hold the spoon, more than enough for a metal hex wrench(the very small ones)
@@warbreakr I threw couple of those kind of egg hand grenades during my military service (not exactly the same tough) and I didn't even feel the spoon's pressure after I took off the pin and held the grenade in my hand.
But to be fair we were tought to hold the spoon against our palms and not the fingers so my palm propably absorbed most of the pressure.
The whole sequence that they were pulling from seemed absurd. Some guy left people there for two hours, and no one thought to break open a door or window? That's some shit writing right there.

+ralphyetmore Or wait until the bad guy opens the door to leave the room and throw the grenade at him. He gave the thing to her so it seems rude not to use it.

David Compton Thank you, sir! Right back atcha. hahah
+777Dubliner after an hour of trying to hold down a spring loaded spoon (probably before an hour) I'd definitely think "if only I had another way to keep this thing held down"
~ h a i r ~
Or put something in as a new "pin"
My very first thought was "........ she's wearing a scarf......."
Glad they finished the video with that
What makes a big difference is the stress. I guess if you fear to die you'll hold that grenad the strongest you can, which will tire you way more faster
“With the grenade bound and gagged”
I wonder "can you put another pin back to the grenade that you are holding?" Since it was the ring pin that locked the grenade not to explode, can't we just do that instead holding it with our hand?
+takuan5566 she's only got one grenade so maybe if she had a spare pin then yes. you can. apart from that she is just holding it. there are many possible things she could have done without it going off but it's just a t.v movie ?
+takuan5566 I think the villain was counting on the woman not knowing how the grenade worked, and therefor she wouldn't try anything at the risk of blowing up her kids. Also, where did he get the grenade? What is that, WWII surplus? They haven't made pineapple grenades for 60 years.
+takuan5566 I don't know if you can put them back in. They make the pins really quite hard to pull out so people don't do in to one hanging on them by accident. So it probably take some force to get it back in if you can. Also I believe the bad guy took the pin with him. maybe like a bobby pin would work, but maybe there would be too much slack with the bobby pin and it would be enough to set the fuse off. Then again people have been making booby traps with modern hand grenades for nearly a century so what do I know.
+leathery420 That's true - I had a dummy grenade once when I was a kid and couldn't pull the pin out. It was incredibly stiff. On your other point - I have no idea how much slack is allowed before the fuse ignites. I never thought about that before, good point.
+leathery420
WW2 grenade, the pin is split & held in place by the ends being bent out to the sides, reinserting something would not be a problem.
Finding something to reinsert that would be strong enough to hold the grenade while you are freaking out is a different issue.
**Holds a gernade for 2 hours**
CoD players: WHAT IMPOSSIBLE
👀👄👀
A real grenade detonator has an approximate 4-6 second delay between the time the handle is released and the detonation takes place. Adam's went off immediately.
Another option too is to simply unscrew the detonator from the body of the grenade and let it explode without detonating the main charge in the body of the grenade. Caution must be observed of course to contain the small amount of shrapnel caused by the detonator explosion itself.
On one occasion as a young soldier in Vietnam, I released the handle on a several live grenades, one at a time of course, and counted two seconds before throwing the grenade off a bridge in an effort to get an airburst before it hit the water. Not very smart, but it was fun. Airbursts, you see, generate a thick black smoke and an orange fireball that is quite spectacular...very different from an explosion on land or under water. I know... young and dumb. :-)
OR
she just throws it out of the window since grenades don't explode upon releasing the hold thingy

fuzzybunny *Booty trap... I'm sorry I just had too...
The windows aren't boarded up. These things are just "wooden windows" if you want less light in your house. She can simply open the window and throw the grenade in the gangsters car while he's about to flee.
she throws like a girl ( oДo)
Jamie was also holding the grenade incorrectly. The correct was is to place the fly-off lever/spoon in between your thumb and forefinger. That way the spoon is secured against the palm of your hand. you could probably hold it for much longer in that orientation since it relies less on the strength of your individual fingers.
If what he did succeeded, how was it incorrect
@@c.s.7097that's not a very sensible principle.
I think he chose that grip simply because that was how the character in the movie/show held it. In this situation it was placed into her hand and someone else pulled the pin.
Couldn't you just unscrew the fuse? Or wedge it in the sofa? Even just turning it around so the spoon is in your palm would allow you to hold it for a very long time. They didn't design grenades to work against the user. This scenario seems really dumb.
I guessing that she knows nothing about grenades and probably wouldn't feel very confident trying to disassemble it. If she holds it the same way he puts it in her hand, she knows (or at least hopes) that it isn't going to 'go off'.
Reminds me of my childhood! Not the educational tv show but handling live grenades during my time as a child soldier in Chechnya

welp. The video answered that for me
lmao
If you add the pressure of life and death on top of her being a civilian, it seems logical that she wouldn't have confidence in her dexterity to attempt to tie the spoon down with one hand. Worse that she's likely right handed as the clip seems to imply she's too scared or dumb to even switch off hands, which is the hugest logical error, but makes it less likely that she'd try to tie a knot with her non-dominant hand alone. She wouldn't even have a concept of how much pressure is enough. Kids are extra hands, but I probably wouldn't trust kids that size with holding the grenade or tying the knot. In the moment, her grip would be the only thing she could be absolutely certain about. Adam is immediately more aware of several parameters going in to the test.
Stacey Bright chill
No need for a knot, wrap it in enough layers and done. There was also furniture in the room that could be used to place ontop of the layered grenade bundle to prevent it from unraveling. Then she doesn't have to do any of that since there were 2 kids in the room who could do it all for her since they are old enough to tie their shoes, they could've unlaced a shoe and used the lace to tie the spoon while she was very careful to hold it with 2 hands.
I love what they do on this show. They have the coolest premise to a TV series ever. Busting myths.
How about busting nut
I dunno why i said that
I can’t believe these two didn’t like each other as friends.
They didn't?
I think it was more that they disliked working with each other, they seem to get along outside of that pretty decently. However I can see how the two personalities don’t work well together.
@@fixthat3269 it's a shame I loved this show
@@fixthat3269 Not quite that. Mythbusters was Jamie's project but he knew he definitely didn't have the personality needed to carry the show. That's how Adam got involved. They have opposite personalities and interests and were never friends but they got over that with pure respect. When it came to work and building stuff they worked well together and relied on each other's experience and knowledge. Just 2 smart guys with enough respect for each other that they worked together almost 20 years even if they didn't want to spend time together outside work.
They have both said that their personalities clashed but they both respected the others skills and ability. So although they weren’t friends they had a good work dynamic.
“There it is, 2 hours. I’m still alive”
*lets go of grenade*
They were just having fun. If you add the anxiety and horror she had from holding a live grenade when her kids were right beside her, it would have been different.
Man i love these guys...back when discovery was actually about science and knowledge not a bunch of useless garbage like today...but realistically you could just stick anything in the grenade to replace the pin. Done.
This is the only video I can recall getting recommended every so often even when the mythbusters were still airing.
The main problem isn’t physically holding on to the grenade it’s keeping the spoon absolutely still. Even moving the spoon slightly (by adjusting your grip) may cause the striker inside the grenade to light the fuse without you even knowing which is why in basic training they specifically tell you it’s highly discouraged to milk the grenade.
Milking is not the issue; your grenades get "milked" just from humping the things around and having the spoons banging on your vest. The issue is the 4-5 second fuse. Even today they can't be entirely certain where within that individual range the fuse will blow, it's just a government procurement figure that means 1 out of 100 fuses will likely go off at 3 seconds or 6 seconds. That's why you don't cook off your frags unless you're feeling lucky.

Producers: That's a great idea!
I think there is a problem:
The stress of the situation is most likely making the woman hold on tighter, making the contract harder and maybe faster, but he knew he wouldn't die.
Take your shoe laces and tie the spoon to the grenade. Done. All free.
Now you have laceless crocs
Niqqa Drain Round of applauase
simple, on hand gets tired, swap it over to the other hand.....you don't have to let the spoon loose to do that
why not put it under your foot while sitting?
Break the window and throw it out then hit the deck
WTFDieUbitch could slide easily
Wonderful. I loved this show, 20 years ago, but I hadn't had the discipline to follow it in Discovery channel. Thanks for sharing it on youtube, where everybody can see it at will.
I think the difference between when the woman was holding it and he was holding it was that it was an “real” grenade, so In that situation your going to try and hold on to it as hard as possible even harder since kids were in the room
The kids couldve tried to do something. They were old enough to destroy the window and the wood between it.
"Tie it up with pantyhose"
Yup. sounds perfectly like a Mythbuster solution to me. :P
....that's silly. just use the scarf to wrap the grenade and hold the spoon down. most unnecessary 'hero' ever.

@@serbianspaceforce6873 damn right
Why don't you just stick something appropriate back in the pin hole?
the thing is once the pin is pulled the chemicals mix so putting the pin back in wont save you
What?? Thats not true...
Uh, no, once you let go of the handle (which is spring loaded, and held back by the pin), the grenade's fuse will irreversibly start, which will make it detonate in about five seconds, but just pulling the pin won't do anything. The pin is a pretty sturdy piece of metal and is just there to make sure that the handle doesn't fly away by accident.
what chemicals, a grenade contains of a fuse and explosives .....
+Jacob Seibert idk who informed you on this, but whoever they are, you should probably never ask them how things work and if you were the one who thought grenades worked like that, I'll be sure to never ask you how things work and I'll be sure to keep "complicated" things away from you just so you don't make yourself look.....slow.
There are factors to consider though
1) Adam is a male, which means biologically his arms and hands are stronger
2) He's not in fear
3) His hands are not cold
4) A person in the same situation as the lady would probably grip it as tight as possible, which uses more energy, because there is no way for him/her to know how much the spoon can lift before it ignites the grenade.
+llgla Even so, after a good 10-20, even 30 minutes that person would be looking for a way to dispose of it, whether it be breaking the window, or resting her body on her hand, something.
The mind is racing, after 2 hours you'd figure it would come up with something as opposed to "hold it more..."
+llgla Also - female hands are often smaller so you have to keep wider grip on an object. What hurts like hell.
+llgla Simplest solution:
Go to the bathroom. Fill a bucket (or even toilet) with water. Clear bath to door, leave open. Drop grenade in bucket, run close the door. It would be impossible for the grenade to send shrapnel through the door after going through the bucket
Lance Lindle Lee
Good idea. I shall take a memory note. I couldn't think of anything close to that, let alone in a panic.
+llgla Also most males in that situation would be able to calm down and come up with a solution.
3:00 The laugh he did there made it all the more funny. 😂
They started the original “last to...” challenge
*grenade blows hand off*
Next we'll test out the phantom hand myth
The thing is, a real grenade doe sent need the spoon to be fully released in order to prime. the striker is actually quite small. so a shift of grip (otherwise known as "milking" can lead to unknowingly priming the grenade causing it to blow you up.
That seems… needlessly unsafe, why not give the design a bit more lee-way?
I’ve done grenade handling as part of military training, and it’s the STRESS of knowing the grenade is actually live which makes your fingers sweaty and your grip tenser than it has to be.
As long as the spoon is pressed against the grenade, you’re safe. You don’t need to squeeze it as hard as that woman did.
0:14 if this is the house from the actual scene, those windows are covered only by some plywood or something. you could've easily been able to break it.
Or you could just throw it out of the window.
Windows were boarded shut
kick them out
There is the risk that you don't throw it far enough or that it blows up immediately after you let go.
Why would the grenade blow up immediately after letting go?
Yes, a woman who can't weigh more than 110 pounds will kick down wooden boards screwed in place. /sarcasm
Watching these segaments, you'd never tell that Jamie and Adam fought like cats and dogs when around each other.
@GazB Yeah, they practically hated working with each other. Adam talks about it in an interview. But you know, gotta smile for the camera.
@GazB Crazy to think about. They both have high levels of tolerance.
@GazB Very true.
I mean its like any job really, the only difference between Adam and Jamie, and me and my coworkers is the the mythbusters are on a tv show
@@dinoblacklane1640 The main difference is they have to act like they really like each other. while, you just have to give a fake smile and a nod. It can wear on you a lot faster when you have to drum it up for the camera.
Couldn't you just change hand? Seriously just do it finger by finger and then slowly let go with the original hand.
adam did say that, I think they just testing how long a single hand can hold it out
@Thomas Jhun or find something to replace the pin....or use the pin itself..since it was thrown to the ground in the room....
So the thing about a grenade that they don’t really touch on is that the spoon does not have to come out for the fuse to light. It only requires an eighth of a pound of pressure released from the spoon for the fuse to light, at least on an M67 hand grenade. Like if your fingers or thumb move while you’re holding it, that could be the release of pressure necessary. That’s why you’re not really supposed to hold the grenade after you pull the pin. You just hold the spoon down, pull the pin, throw the grenade, and take cover
@@DiegoKawasaka Kinda like the end of Mr. Perfect. But the hollywood grenade pin is different from a normal grenade pin. Real grenade pins are split pins, harder to pull out and really hard to put back with one hand.
I guess you wouldn't want to risk that in a real situation

That would be too easy
it's a bigger grenade , she has smaller hands , it's not the same thing
for all she knew, it could have had a deadman switch as in it explodes the moment you let off pressure. She would be too terrified to change hands.

all grenades are deadman switch, lol.
Do you think she'd be calm and collected enough to think of doing that?

@@Happy_Shopper Nah, kim bodnia
Did she think of putting her hand in another room through a door and closing it? You may lose your arm and get severely injured but at least you and your children survived.
it would still blow up
She just need to throw it out of the room. She has 6 seconds before it detonates
@@psychoandfbi She most likely doesn't know how the grenade actually works beyond "if I let go of it, it will blow up," so she doesn't know how long she has after letting go before it blows up. For that reason, she takes it safe and decides to hold onto it for as long as possible. It's not unreasonable
Actually it happened in one Foreign movie. Guy put hand holding granade through Window to save others. Of course he loose arm

That was a live grenade the whole time...
I'm gonna fucking watch this video because youtube keeps reminding me to. I don't want to, but myth busters.
Its always so weird to think these two didn't even like each other.
That's not true. They enjoyed working together but never found a friendship outside work. They don't dislike each other at all. They were colleagues, just not buddies.
@@sorlag110 That's what I meant. I just didn't want to type a paragraph.
Man I wish this was still on TV
Jamie: "Can I raise the stakes just a little bit?"
Adam: "A little?"
Jamie: "Yes"
*Actually uses a stronger grenade like a boss*
she's got the whoooole life
in her hand

Adam hit it perfectly, you can rig something, lay on the handle/spoon, etc, and thus, go much longer than 2 hours. When you add in fear, anxiety about "can I do this," and so on, your brain forgets logic.
I think that 2 hours is enough time for anyone to claim down
calm
@@jangkim6072 yeah, and honestly, I'd not be sitting alone, I'd be headed somewhere I could either find help, with duct tape or something to let me drop it, or somewhere I could throw it then hit the deck to avoid shrapnel.
What if he just holds the grenade against his thighs
This is just the more logical phineas and ferb
Switch hands, sit on it, wedge it under your forearm, wedge it under your elbow
There are literally countless options here...
Throw it
Erm, yeah, or just put any needle instead of safety pin and unscrew the fuze. Takes like 5 seconds. If you're drunk
If you switch hands the grenade will cook and go off
ive seen all the episodes. I remember this one. love it
Girl: He's probably cheating on me
Me and the boys:
why didn't she just throw it
+Joe Smith it looked like there was a small window behind her? Why would you respond to a 3 week old comment, do you have a life?
+stanley ko I've seen people respond to 4 year old comments, 3 weeks is nothing compared to that.
+Joe Smith They also have a couch and the room isn't /that/ small. Put couch in corner with the sides against the walls, kids and you behind couch, throw grenade to other corner.
if she tossed it out a small crack or hole in the room she was in, the explosion would have harmed her, and the kids
+stanley ko The pressure wave of a grenade is bad enough, but there's also shrapnel flying through the air at Mach 10 or something. And knowing that American houses are largely built out of old plywood, soggy cardboard and a thin layer of paint, that shrapnel would've probably gone through a few walls.
“My pantyhose” proceeds to laugh like a child
this was my favourite show growing up
