I think this shows why downward dynos are illegal in climbing competition. even a small amount of downward momentum results in a huge shock load to your fingers/arms/shoulders

What's funny is that even in the movie scene if you scroll frame by frame (pause the vid at 0:33 and use . and , to scroll) you can see that the stunt guy clearly flies right off the edge and then they just cut to a different shot xD

Yes. It actually looks like he first jumps and sticks the landing. Then it´s a new shot where he is sliding down and flies off with no way of catching the edge. It even looks like the momentum would have made him fall with his back toward the ground if he would have kept falling.

I mean when your actual life is on the line your body is capable of amazing things. The adrenaline starts pumping and you're body / mind is just more willing to take damage in the long run to save itself. Like on a subconscious level, these guys know that they aren't in danger so their body and instincts work to keep them safe and away from painful stuff like ripping skin, or causing muscle tears or ripping the bone out of their arm sockets. But in a life or death situation, the fear of broken limbs and ripped skin are ignored and you'll just do instinctively whatever it takes to save yourself.

I think the rough rock might have more friction than the smooth wood. The rock would not let you get as good of a suction grip with your hand though, but for the way tom fell, I think it might be a slower slide. The movie was a clear cutting floor magic though as he somehow teleported from half a meter from the cliff to right next to it.

I think Magnus or the wide boyz need to try it, because the amount of grip and holding power they have is so much more beyond normal. Maybe even as much as Ethan Hunt.

THE KZread MATRIX! I watch Magnus Midtbø, since I'm a Norwegian and have followed his journey a long time. I've seen you there plenty of times, and enjoyed the videos. Never seen your channel though, until a couple of days ago. Watched one video, and skipped out(since I'm not really into climbing). Haven't seen you on recommended since. Today at work(6h before this video released) this Tom Cruise clip came up on my KZread channel, and I watched it.

I would say while its deffo movie magic in MI - the fact you set it at 39 degrees instead of 42 degrees actually has a huge negative effect, as it will launch you even further out from the ledge as your body will follow that angle.

As someone who has taken falls on slab climbs, the name of the game is FRICTION. The more friction you can create the more you can self-arrest a fall on slab. The downward palms worked pretty well, but you're testing on a slick surface in clothes and SOCKS, so the only thing you have to generate friction is your skin. Every other variable in your test is making the mission that much harder. I know you were trying to recreate the movie scene, so I don't think I need to mention how unrealistic it is to try that maneuver on a free solo climb. On real rock, wearing shoes, you would have a much greater chance of stopping the slide for many reasons. Also, most low-angle rock faces are not so short; you're more likely to have a longer runway, in which case I would actually try to turn around and slide on my butt, with hands out or pointing downslope, palm-down. This allows you to use your physiology to leverage more weight into your feet and dig the rubber of your heels into the slide, which is way more effective than facing the rock and trying to use the toes. Your heels cannot dorsiflex nearly as much as they can plantar flex, so sliding butt-first, digging in the heels and flexing the feet so maximum surface area of the bottom of the foot is in contact with the rock will give you the best chance of slowing down. I would be interested to see whether spreading the limbs out versus aligning them in the direction of the fall would improve the outcome; you'll need a wider surface to test this with. This is an interesting idea that could potentially produce life-saving techniques. I don't know if you're in my area, but I'd be happy to meet up and discuss it with you (and my own near-death experiences on slab climbs).

I'm very impressed! First this setup didn't look like too hard but I know Anton is a beast and Sean is also very much above normal humans in this kind of stuff and they really had a hard time on it. So it must be very hard! I don't know how did they film it with Tom Cruise, but I'm pretty sure the sliding and catching scenes are two separate cuts, no way he hold that catch from that slide even with ropes :)! Still, he is also very impressive to do a lot of stuff on his own and have so many licenses for different kind of vehicles.

The friction on the stone is probably much higher than on the painted wooden surfaces you are working on, which would slow the slide and make grabbing the outcrop a bit easier, but based on what you did it still appears there is like a 98% probability of dying.

physics major here, I'm only a minute in so far but I wanted to point out the material of the surface matters. A more slippery material you're sliding from will cause you to slide faster because of less friction coarse rocks are going to have a lot more friction than that slippery looking board

Keep the vids coming, Anton. You're a beast.

This was a good video, way more interesting then just showing off, showing the challenge is really hard makes way better.

Even if you don't slide at all, you'd still have to hold your full body weight dropping from the height of your hold (or from higher). The one time it worked with the change grip, you already had your body half way down. You could also look at artistic gymnastic horizontal bar, where they sometimes go over the bar in free air. But here of course the grip on a bar is much easier and the falling weight can be partly moved outwards to the swinging legs, swinging around and right upwards on the other side, while not loosing the grip, because the horizontal bar can be grip from any direction, and not just from above.

I call those socks "socks with enchanced ventilation", you call them "socks with for enchanced grip" ,)

I think every climber knows that even a slip and you are unlikely to catch a fall if you don’t already have the hold. Let alone a four foot slide. From a dyno one handed while running

Also perhaps your ledge is much smoother while a rock face out to the elements will certainly have nooks,cracks ,grooves and such

I ramped up the video to 4K, slowed it down to 0.25 speed. Noticed two things: 1. In the long take of "Ethan Hunt" sliding down the ledge, he does actually get pushed out into space, falling away from the rock. You can see he tilts backwards, and just as it cuts is actually too far out to catch anything. Then there's a close-up of a hand grabbing the ledge, which leads to: 2. When he's swinging from the ledge, the front of his trousers are pinched up. That's due to the rope and harness he was wearing. The rope, of course, has been painted out. Yes, the slide was done for real. With ropes and a safety net that were digitally removed.

Oh no. Get well soon Sean! Ankle injuries are the worst. But it´s a really good video I really like to see you both. Just please don´t hurt yourself!

That's raw pure determination.

I like that one of the morals of this video is "Watch good movies" 😂 Great video Anton 🤟

Awesome job! Totally thought you would get it just a couple of tries.

LOVE IT. never give up!

The problem seems to be the horizontal compoment of the momentum (which is almost 50% of your total momentum at that angle). Your hands work mainly against the vertical component. You have to find a way to fight against the horizontal component also. Maybe a different (deeper?) finger hold or some kind of body maneuver that jerks your center of gravity to the opposite horizontal direction (maybe try kicking both feet forward once they are in the air, instead of letting them hang) at the optimal time point.

I always wonder why there's no one in the gym cause its like 1 am

8:19 super funny part! Love it!

Magnus would've been a very interesting addition to this video

I know it may seem counterintuitive, but perhaps making the angle steeper would help. Your body’s inertia as you slide down at that 40 degree angle is throwing you away from the platform causing you to have to reach out to grab. As with all weight lifting, as the weight gets further from your body it is harder to control / carry. Would be interesting to see if this would make a difference or if the extra speed would cancel out the benefits.

It would be interesting at the end to replace the wooden grip with the pull-up bar and try to catch on full speed

This was hard. Thunb up for not give up

Next, do the "falling from any height, but being saved by smashing into the front window of a car."

These are the kind of videos I love. Just "some pople" dedicate themselve to test things to to the limits... And I wish there were more action movies with realistic physics and skills portraited. I think I would get even more engaged in the movie and get more thrills. Cause everytime someone like The Rock jumps out of a helicopter and flies over 5 meters through the air and catch himself on a ledge with the tiniest grip and all his bodymass with momentum I just gets snapped out of the movie. (Unless it is a parody movie (or bollywood), or "superhero", or kungfu, which I see as the asian verson of the superhero genre in a way.) Or if people are like falling 50 meters and landing on rock surface and they barely get a scratch but they get hurt by fists from a normal mortal beeing, I get snapped out of the movie (and all the impossible explosions from things that is known to not explode in that way by that source, etc etc). It would be som much more exciting with things beeing realistic and feel like the stakes are higher. Anyway, great stuff!!! You have earned that beer. Hope the ankle is better now. =)

i feel like swinging legs under as you drop then grabbing the ledge quickly as your passing it so youre hands dont slide too much would be the way, or maybe sort of lunging up and forward(toward slope) might stop the backward momentum.

I like this a lot. I am tempted to do a quick calculation, to estimate if it is even possible to copy Ethan Hunt and to estimate how much force there will be on your fingers, and what this compares to. For instance to hanging on your fingers while carrying an elephant on your back for 100 milliseconds.

My initial thought is that the key thing is Ethan Hunt seems to use his hands to create friction on the rock to slow himself down, kinda like how you do in a self-arrest with an ice axe..?
