Prison breaks and motorbike flips. Can you really flip a motorbike by throwing a pole through the wheel spokes... is it even possible to do that while the bike is moving? and what items can you use to make a rope and break out of prison?
Using science as a tool, Hollywood special effects experts attempt to debunk rumours, urban legends and popular myths that have captivated the minds of many individuals.

I miss how fun it was to wait and watch new episodes when I was younger. I loved it so much.
Same here
Same... My childhood was all about waiting for this on discovery channel 😂❤
Of course. Now as adults we know the answer to all the things before the testing even begins lmao. Kinda takes the fun out of it 😂
The bike flip is real. I have experienced a small version of this myself when I got a fishing pole stuck in the front spokes of my bicycle and totally flipped frontwards and landed on my face. That's how I learned to not transport hard objects in a bag hanging from my handle. ;)
I can only assume that with greater speeds (and maybe a motor, unlike the motorbike in this episode) the flip would be a lot faster and maybe even a little airborne. Their test here was insufficient imho. If you use real spokes and not steel most of them would break, the fork would go down, touch the ground and the bike should flip forwards at nearly full speed (provided the pole does not break before enough spokes are gone). The need for repeating everything with one wheel kinda screwed over the whole test imo.
110% bike flip is real. I've done it on a motocross bike while riding trails...
My friends and I as kids used to throw sticks in bike spokes while riding trails. It totally is real.
Edit: Thinking about this more, it's not the bike inherently its the sharp stop at the front that sends your weight to the front of the bike causing it to flip. Doesn't work the same with a dummy
@@snaccpacc651 More importantly, it wouldn't get launched _up._ You get flung _forward_ and maybe the momentum carries you up, but there's a massive difference between falling forward and doing a full flip.
@@btf_flotsam478 of course but without additional speed and an actual rider to emulate the shifting weight of hard front braking this isn't really being disproved
@@snaccpacc651 Also, they need to test it on actual wheels where all the spokes would likely be destroyed by the kinetic energy of the bike, rather than saying it's good enough after a quarter get destroyed by the wheel's own momentum.
This show was so good.
Wow the audio panning on this show is wild.
They forgot about the engine pushing the bike and did the test with only the inertial force of the bike, but I like this show regardless.
Just hear the explanation from Adam at the end. The amount of force to make it go flip like that is way higher than anything that the motorcycle by itself can generate.
Love these free videos, thanks!
Why does the bike flip if I hit the front brake really hard but the pole doesn't get the same effect? I mean, the only thing here is the front wheel stopping...
The type of bike used plays a role here. It's very back-heavy and has a very low and aft center of gravity. It was never going to flip from stoppage alone.
I can personally attest to the fact that a bicycle that has its front wheel blocked by a wooden stick will flip spectacularly. I have the scars and hospital bills to prove it.
Likely coz bike engines drive the back wheel, so the flipping would be caused by acceleration from the back wheel meeting friction from the stopped front wheel.
I Love the prison escape myths
I appreciate the stereo.. if only it was balanced. But why are some voices on the left, some on the right, some both... aaaah, it's messing with me badly. maybe do mono for the next uploads pls
I wish I could find out about this show earlier😭
Bike wouldn't flip if you stopped the front wheel anyway. It would skid, turn the steering and go down. Breaking the spokes could actually work though, as the wheel would collapse dropping the front hub into the dirt where that could dig in.
Agree
Is it just me or is The narrator's Voice coming from the right side and not the left while wearing headphones
Left not right for me
balance not ok for sure one is louder
bro you're wearing your headphones the wrong way around
yeah, it was on a beta tape. the narrators voice was on a different channel. they forgot to pan it into the middle
i don't hear any narrator
I always have a problem with the front wheel.. if the spokes broke it would have created a flat spot in the wheel which may not have caused it to flip BUT might have broken the wheel with a wooden stick
Forward momentum indeed , and weight distribution Are the front shocks working?
A little trick, is for bicicles and is totally plausible. when you drive a bicicle and you apply front breaks and no back breaks the inertia is drag you towards, so is plausible. in a motocicle maybe a 80 or 90 mph can do the trick, also correct me if i am wrong but the scene is with the front wheel in the air doing a wheelly so, if there some one who can do the experiment.
16:22 UP THE IRONS! 😃
But if you pull the bike with a truck it will not work, you must stop the bike at the front wheel to make it flip. The center of gravity is much higher than the wheel and it wants to continue to move forward
It's a bit strange seeing the bike flip experiment as it did happen to me when i was a kid while cycling I went to get a clipboard and the polythene bag in which i was carrying the board was a bit to long and I was practicing to cycle all the way home without using my hands... I made it almost all the way, when I got close to my house i passed a pothole and i managed to balance the cycle but the board swung too hard and got stuck in the front wheel and I flipped over and the cycle came at me from flipping and hammering me down to the ground by the seat... I don't know maybe the handle turned as I wasn't using my hands or maybe the cycle's weight is way less than a bike because of the engine being in the mid... But yeah I did flip and got bruised on the shoulder unlike buster who sustained injuries on legs. I was really expecting it to flip as I had experienced it... Maybe you guys can try it with a cycle once again I'd really like to see it.
Plus we see many bike stunts pulling a stoppy as they call it when they apply the front brakes to lift the rear end, so isn't it already possible to convert the forward momentum to vertical?
I believe they forgot the rider momentum on the bike.
Instead of being tied with the back to the rear of the bike, he would be thrown forward and take the bike with him.
Pretty much the same thing happens if you slam the front brake on a bike and lift the rear...
Yeah, but in that instance you're more likely to do what motorcyclists call a "superman."
That's where the bike stops, maybe flips. And the poor rider keeps flying forward like superman.
I'll admit I'm rubbish at physics, but I do know a guy of which this happened to. He's fine by the way.
Thats 2 in 1 myth busted... Hair can be used as a rope then Rapunzel myth as well
Conclusion: Rapunzel was not a myth. I told you, mum! #notfairytale #science
@@antoy384 it doesnt matter. Still the same lol
ln the movie it was a bike with sidecar which would've instantly solved the stability issue.
Add to that the naz1 was leaning forward slightly which also may have aided handlebar flip.
l think the myth is plausible with a circumstantial caveat.
When I was 16,i had a bag with my jacket in it, as it swung into my front wheel it was a racer bike but I flipped and exposed my chin bone.
Back soon Sir SIC live, watch you later ⛽📘🔥💣😯. 🎈
Why is the narrator's voice almost inaudible?
I think there is a way to get the flip (given a steel rod and an inhumanly good throw).
The wire spokes disintegrated when used to stop the wheel from 50 mph. At a higher speed, they would have been completely destroyed, meaning the bike would no longer be held up by the front wheel, and would drive the forks into the ground. If they hit something they could dig into, that would flip the bike.
But this would require a massive amount of luck.
The forgot the obvious bit about catching, dislogding and holding on to a flag pole at high speed using only your hand. Lemme tell ya, it's busted!
Gonna play Mr. Ignorant here, for the benefit of everyone that might want to know...what are the prison numbers on the Mythbusters B team's outfit references to?
Grant (3.14) is the start of pi. Kari is 5150 which is to do with California code governing involuntary holding of someone for psychiatric reasons (and a fair few songs, but this seems the most plausible). Tory is 000, which I am not sure on. There is a true crime series and book titled ZeroZeroZero, but both postdate the Mythbusters episode by a good few years.
@@MartinBentley Thank you! Interesting info 😁
Ive seen a cyclist do a full 360 when a pipe or stick got stuck in the front wheel. Its on youtube. Also, in a motorbike, when u travel at a high speed and u suddenly press the front brake, you flip. That's how stunt bikers stand on the front wheel with the back raised
The physics say yes - ua-cam.com/video/9WAlhnTsgBM/v-deo.html
So good show, and so annoying acting.
Why can't the intros just be normal conversation?
Imagine a normal conversation that ends up with "oh hey let's shove a stick into a motorcycle tire" or "Kari, you can dangle above a building with a safety harness and several meters of rope made from human hair".
If that temu ad keeps coming on I swear I am going to boycott UA-cam. Fuck me sideways, it's so annoying!!!!!!!!!
I dont like myth busters because I don’t like Adam
I'm sorry to hear that someone ties you to a chair, and forces you to watch the show.
@@MadHax-wt5tl are ya stupid what made ya think I watched it I’m glad I bothered you enuf to take time to rite that was grate thanks
@@MadHax-wt5tl truer words were never spoken before my good sir
MAGACANADIAN, what a stu*id name lol.
Where does all the "effecitive, discusting but effective", come from? It was all natural, and nothing was remotely discusting. I love the show, but please try to live in the real world. Thanks, Chas.
