The insane laughter from Jamie is amazing.
God I miss this show
This was my favorite show that I ever watched. They’re nothing like it on TV anymore.
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.
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
We need more Mythbusters ❤ those times were awesome
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
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.
@@ZeroDrizzyI don't think that actually happened and you're still around to talk about it?🤔🤔
@@LONEWOLF-rq5tlat best you're calling out someone for lying on the internet (boohoo), at worst you're calling someone a liar for being traumatized by a lifechanging injury
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.
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.
Happened to me, didn’t kill anyone but it busted out the window to our van.
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.
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
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.
Nice.
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.
Grass shoot fits in that safety catch.
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.
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.
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
i'm never get bored of the Mythbuster
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
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.
got hit in the leg when i was 4 in 1969 with a pea sized pebble. left a silver dollar sized bruise
Mythbusters walked so that UA-camrs could run.
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
Jaime, did you ever do extra work for CSI(season 8 Episode 15)
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.
A 357 is 1500 ft/sec.
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
A 358 will fire 3 different types of bullets.
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.
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
I cant tell if this show was rebooted or this is old episode.
Older I'd guess
Outch
You are just going to slow the motor down if you keep goìng over the rocks which slos the motor ðown.....
Congratulations 🎉 from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🙏
😂😂😂
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

😊 सब जने बोलो जय श्री राम
if you are gonna show an episode...show the WHOLE thing...sigh
Except they’re not trying to show an episode. It’s very clear that the video is eight minutes long and it’s just this one myth.
@@Gubbinsmcbumbersnoot they were still trying to calculate the speed of stones but the video ended. So not even 1 myth
Back when plywood was cheap, lmfao. Try that today and I bet the plywood alone would have take up a solid 60% of this episode's budget.
Myth is not true. Busted
