OK kids, let this be a lesson - when you go to Vegas and lose your shirt, it is time to stop. Buster would not stop and he lost his ass.

My grandfather worked for GM in the 40’s until retiring in 1974. He was on the team that DEVELOPED the crash test dummies and my mom remembers going shopping for clothes for the dummies. Grandpa talked one time about developing a perfect equivalent to human bone. The results when they tested it in a dummy were so horrific that film (especially the kids one) was destroyed. There was a magazine in one of the Detroit Sunday papers (Parade?) with my grandpa and his co-workers on the cover and the headline “These Dummies Could Save Your Life!” The family always wondered if they were talking about the manikins or my grandpa and his co-workers. Grandpa Raymond Maltby passed away in 1998. I wish he was still around so I could record some of his stories. He’d have been 104 this year.

You comment about the magazine headline had me laughing. Hahaha Really cool though! Also, now I'm curious about those "bones".

When I worked at the USAF Centrifuge at Wright-Patt, we had 3 crash test dummies (2 male, 1 female) for testing hardware and experiments all of them were named Dave (Yes, the female was also Dave), which meant that two of my coworkers shared names with the dummies. The dummies were Dave2, Dave3, and Dave4, and the coworkers were Dave1 and Dave5, since he started later.

Sounds like the town I grew up in during the 70's. There were only 40 kids at the school and most of them were Daves (some of them were girls too). Only one was born there and the rest moved in during the next five years. We joked that all the parents were probably stoned during the entire 1960s (when all the Daves were born) and decided that "Yeah man, let's call him/her Dave....it's a cool name and easy to remember..." Because this was in a regional area of Australia, first names didn't really matter, as everyone was called and known by their nickname which was usually a contraction of possibly their surname and/or an embarrassing incident, injury, ailment or disability.

The Ballad of Buster Chunks

😂 Someone actually made a farting concerto! I don't remember who did it. 😢 Happy holidays everyone! 😎🤘🧑‍🎄🎄❤️

i used to work at GM in vandalia, OH. half of the plant was making airbags and door panels, the other side was one of the few engineering facilities in north america (i think there was five?). anyway, they did crash tests there. a friend of mine who i worked with on the floor wound up cleaning offices at night. i worked third, so one night she asked if i wanted to see something creepy. well, duh. during lunch she led me to a dimly lit corridor, like out of a horror movie. along both sides of this long hall, single bulb lamps dangling from a tall ceiling, was lined dozens of crash test dummies like bodies waiting to be buried. it was the creepiest damn thing no haunted house could ever hope to do.

Buster wasn't just a dummy who could muster dangers so crummy... but we could trust for any stunt that'd make Knieval turn his tummy. And now he may be just a mummy, covered in dust or ballistic gelatin so gummy, he still will forever be known as the personified doll that was funny.

Rumor has it that Buster lost his ass in Las Vegas.....😂😂😂

The one buster incident I still remember was testing falling with a life raft, like Indiana Jones. He quickly fell out of the raft and was completely shattered when he hit the ground. What I really remember was your complete shock and horror at the sight.

I cried both in joy and sadness when you and Jamie strapped him to the rocket sled for his last ride... He was as much off the cast as everyone was.

Years of my childhood spent watching buster get blown up cant believe you still got him heart warming nostalgia honestly

OMG, my young adulthood was so very impacted by you, mythbusters and Buster. I'd just die to get a piece of him.

5:40 I believe you're referring to his first test? which was the hammer drop. I remember you saying he was hitting the water so hard that pieces of foam was shooting out of his butt. I dunno? that's the first thing I remember. But still a memorable show, and quite honestly, the greatest stuntman who ever lived.

I've been rewatching old episodes and the ones with Buster are mostly my favourites! Falling Bubble-Gunner Saved By Bomb Shockwave, however, sticks out in my head since it was deemed TOO DANGEROUS even for the B-Man! Also that ep features one of the best amped-up explosions at Jamie's behest! BOOOM!

Adam, Adam, Adam! Is that my favorite movie in the background as a prop? Excalibur!

Buster always put his ass on the line. Side thought: personally, I would have called them Buster Bits.

It's Crazy how attached me and millions of other people got to a Crash Test Dummy.

You can say buster had his ass handed to himself being tortured on Mythbusters and wanted to donate it to charity. 😊

Is there any way that we could arrange to have you to sign his butt (either with a sharpie or white paint marker, whichever you think looks better), and maybe even make a video on how you would build a display case for it, please? I want to build a case for this so I can display this and keep this amazing piece of Mythbuster's history forever! Thank you for all you and your team do, you are all so appreciated!

Always brings a smile to my face when I remember someone on the show getting Grant to have a red face when they'd bring up the fact that it was Grant's dream to make a lady robot!

I for one am ever thankful(never again for any government agency) for whoever Approved a dummy for that cast of crazies. Thank you greatly from the whole of my heart.

Love buster, Im 2022 and I grew watching mythbusters loved the show was very entertaining and I learned a lot, a few months ago I binged watch the show again and learned alot more. That crash test dummy was I feel as part of the crew. Thst thing went through so many memorable moments ones insane.

Buster worked his butt off

I wish that someone could bottle Adam's enthusiasm and sell it to the rest of us!

Who wouldn't want a chunk. Memories for many there.

Poor buster. Put through so much horror and pain.

Buster is fantastic and has always been a fan favorite. His remaining pieces should be well kept and well taken care of

You mentioned to ask Kari, and I wish I could! not seen Kari in your show anytime! Like a lot of others, I grew up watching your show, and loved Kari and Tory, Mr Hyneman, Scotty and offcourse Grant and Buster What is not to love on any of the characters even the ones who did not speak!

Grant was such a professional - he never got HIS ass handed to him. Thus... Buster had to give his up.

Buster truly worked his ass off.

My grandpa earned the nickname ‘Buster’ as a teenager in the 1930s. By the time I knew him, it was shortened to ‘Bus’. I always thought Buster should’ve been called ‘Bus’.

My guess is that buster lost his ass on the hammer drop. I don't know that they specifically mention it in that episode, but he hit with enough force to rip his leg off. If I remember correctly they did that to him repeatedly. That was early in the series, I doubt they had done too much damage to him prior to that.

Busters butt was dismantled in season 2 episode 16 so he could be dropped in a caddy in the sky, pure chance that I'm watching it rn

I would absolutely love to own a genuine chunk of our pal Buster 🙏❤️🙏

Considering how many times buster has faced explosives, Ya have to pick him up in person after the auction.. I mean, he might toss a red flag when he passes under the explosive residue detectors at the Post. XP

mr buster. resting in pieces i see.

If I remember a previous video right, Buster shattered to pieces in one of the first tests, because he was subjected to a force way beyond the intended use-case for crash test dummies.

"Proof I busted my ass on that show" would have also worked

Buster!

Buster has always been an inspiration to me. No matter how beat up he got, or how many times he got his ass handed to him. He just kept going, without saying a word of complaint. He reattached his head and limbs, and wore his scars with pride. Even when the guys teased him, by painting his face, or forced him to wear silly clothes. He was just ice cold. He endured, despite constant adversity. In my school days, when the show ran. When ever I recieved a wooping by the bullies, or by my dad, when he came home drunk. I could always find strength in the knowledge, that it wasn't as bad, as what the guys would put Buster through, in the next episode. When finally the bullying and dad stopped. I credit that to the lessons I learned from Buster. Don't give Bullies what they want. Don't show fear, and don't cry, so they won't feel strong, and like they have accomplished something.

Yessss it would be amazing to own something of a show I grew up watching

With special guest "Buster"👍

What ever happened to that V2 buster model. I remember you guys did an entire special of rebuilding buster with wooden bones (would break like a human bone), reinforced joints, and skin that simulates human skin. I remember seeing it for a few episodes and then back to the old style buster. Was it just to much work to keep up fixing the V2 mode ?

THAT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!

The first time I saw buster was on that episode hang gliding off a building with a bit of plywood.

I always just figured they could buy a dummy. Thousands of dollars? That's doable for a TV show? *Hundreds* of thousands of dollars, for a new show, on the Discovery channel in the early 00's? That's a big ask. But now I'm lead to believe someone *gave* them a dummy... in secret?!
