That "featuring Jessi Combs" hits really different now. I remember when I was a kid, I was kinda sad to not see Kari in these episodes. Then a couple of years later I found out about Jessi when she broke the land speed class record the second time, not knowing she was the same one from Mythbusters. And I really started to admire her, because she was absolutely badass. Then when she had the accident I remember feeling it, and started searching a bit more about her, and found out she was this girl from mythbusters I never noticed almost, or didn't like. And this completely recontextualize all these episodes where she appears in, to me. She literally broke a damn world record 3 times. She is a perfect example of the insanely capable people that was involved with this show.
12:16 brings back some memories. I used to work at National Instruments manufacturing. The 9234 was an infamous bastard. Getting those external coaxial connectors mounted to the PCB was an exercise in patience because we did it on the surface mounted assembly lines, but the mechanical support/ground leads had to go through holes, and none of the suppliers could be assed to make those leads within the tolerance required by the PCB. We ended up enlarging the holes by a factor of about 1.5 and mounting the connectors manually.
I love the older seasons because the narrator, as much as the show itself, are both completely unhinged. One of my favorite statements made by the narrator that goes somewhere along the lines of Jamie's specific finger that he uses to advise motorists while he's on the road, lol. I didn't get that when I was a kid, but now I fully understand it, lol.
What is your definition of older? This is season 7. If I was really really generous to you I would say this is halfway through the entire show. And that's huge reaching.
@@slovnicurling9808 A lot of people didn't see the first 4 seasons or so, and it was a much rougher production by comparison. I'm not sure when the show hit viral popularity, but it was probably around season 6 or 7, so for many viewers those are the early episodes to them.
@@Myzelfa ok I understand but how does it make season 7 an "older episodes"? If I start watcing Game of thrones from season 8 does it makes it older episodes? Doesn't make sense to me. But I guess this is one of the youtube comments where I just roll my eyes and move on. Not a hill I want to die on.
Ah yes… The episode where Tory got his leg f’d up hitting a ledge… OUCH. Oh, and before I forget… RIP Grant Imahara and RIP Jessi Combs. PS - Looks like I’m first to the party. 🙂
I've been binging these episodes as they've been going up on youtube and there were other episodes at this location where I was like "oh this is where Tory banged his leg on the ledge" him getting hurt were the most memorable parts of the show from when I watched them as a teen. Sure there are other moments too, but that shit makes me wince every time.
The half-inch grip is really dangerous, btw, unless expert rockclimbers. The curvature of the fingers can cause "bowstring" failures, where the tendons rip from their moorings and go straight. I've come close to it myself. It was painful for weeks. I guess that's why Grant let go almost immediately, not because of slippage. His nerves were sending him a message: we're outa here, stat.
Regarding the "hanging on" myth, in what movie has the protagonist had to hang off a ledge indefinitely? It's rare a scene like that goes in for longer than a minute, so why were the conditions of the myth "hang on indefinitely"?
I love how they didn't make a small containment area around the impact zone but just went "nah whatever, splatter all the soda over the entire shop, who caaaaares" xD That plastic they put up was really inadequate. Mythbusters is such a gem for just doing this weird shit in weird ways :D
The styrofoam cup myth isn't crazy to me. Remember the NASA space shuttle break up on re entry from a brief case size of insulation smashing through the wing?
As someone who's done a tree top to tree top assault course where you have to wear one of those harnesses it does absolutely NOTHING to ease the brain. Monkey brain rules I'm afraid.
the worst part of tory's shinjury was that they could have done that test mere inches off the ground (and not directly near concrete), the effects of gravity are no different at the two heights, and there is an almost zero % chance of injury on the lower height hang...
Almost guaranteed they did it at a height like that to be gripping for the audience. While irresponsible, choices like this are what make or break a show a lot of the time.
They did explain why they did it from an actual height, for the adrenaline boost. Now that might be a bogus explanation but I'm surprised you didn't notice it.
well, now I know not to create air-powered high velocity soda can launchers, and especially not shoot them point blank at my friends and/or fellow humans!

Maybe the cups haven’t been filled to the exact same volume. That could explain it. Otherwise I would also expect the cup with pure soda to be the heaviest since it should have the highest density.
That's an elementary understanding of physics (not trying to be a jerk I promise) because it assumes all objects are "perfect" in transferring momentum like they teach you in school. Truth is adding liquid gives more of the solid bits an opportunity to transfer energy before "bouncing off". Im not using plasticity here bc as far as I remember it only applies to solids.
It's called hindsight they'll learn after getting hit and after that they teach people like you what you should be aware of so it doesn't happen to another one.
@@ShevkoMore Indeed even if you plan your safety protocol carefully, there is still chance for an accident. you can only hope no one got hurt and fix those damages.
@@Mikael404 That didn't need hindsight. That was completely avoidable and clearly something to anticipate. Anyone who ever fell from SOMETHING would have seen that accident in waiting. Just pure luck that it wasn't worse. And sure, freak accidents can happen and that's too bad. But this was not a freak accident. It had neon-signs pointing to the outcome from the get-go.
No it's a scientific theory which is in fact a law. Scientific theory and the layman theory are two different things. Layman theory is an idea you have that you are trying to test a scientific theory is something that has been robustly tested and is the best understanding of the subject. That's literally why it's called the law of gravity, because we have tested and gained an understanding of this law of the universe sorry MxT333!
The fact that they put a camera inside there tells me it wasn't his decision, or at least his concerns were overwriten by someone. Safety on set is much more strict today, even Mythbusters would have to change a lot of their practices if filmed now.

Even after all these years I still feel the pain of Tory's injury. What a legend!
"That's the sound of Mr. Hyneman having fun." 😂😂😂 Epic
I saw Tori's accident coming the second I saw the setup. How did nobody say: "Well maybe we should prevent someone from hitting that window ledge."
Poor Tory, that must have hurt...
I thought exactly the same
Producer might have wanted the shot from the window. Hope Jamie gave him or her an earful over sacrificing safety for slightly amusing shots.
Dude, I literally just came down to the comments section to say the EXACT same thing!! It was OBVIOUS that was going to happen.
Tori was really lucky he didn't shatter his knee.
I feel like I’m reliving my childhood watching these with all you fans around the world waiting for the next upload is so satisfying and nostalgic

WOW Jamie is hella strong 😂
Wouldn't wanna make him mad 😂

Hitting a ledge and don't get a massage.

I knew Torry's going to have an accident the moment I saw him dangling against the window opening.
Besides that- 😂❤😂❤
