These guys have WAAAYYYYYYY too much fun
Any myth you have heard of, these guys will put to the test.
Recently they have tested the myth of being able to survive a falling elevator by jumping at the last moment (false) Shark myths (mostly from Jaws which ended in a draw between the sharks and the team) even the myth of being decapitated by a ceiling fan (false, but my god will it fuck you up
)
For the potentially deadly myths they use an ex-crash test dummy aptly named Buster. This thing has been blown up numerous times, dropped from insane heights, run over and baisically mutilated. Theyve recently rebuilt him and used a certain type of wood for his bones that has the same strength as human bones so they will more accurately represent the damage to the human body. A cavity in his head holds an accelerometer to measure G-forces for drops and the like
The two hosts have worked in the special effects industry for a combined 30 years and have some twisted notion that if they fail to confirm a myth with the given criteria (the episode with rocket car myth for example) they decide to go all out and find out what it would have taken for the myth to be true. Which quite frankly is the best part of the show when explosives are involved
My only question about this show is this: How do i get a job on it?
Did i mention the female cohorts a pretty sexy? I'll take the redhead
