Assuming the impact is 122mph and we're looking at a linear deceleration on let's say a massive 2m seesaw, skydiver is going to go from 122-0 in under 0.075 seconds. Unfortunately, the medical term for his status after such a deceleration is "pink mist".

Yes, because no person ever plays on a see saw by themselves, just because they can, and no kid would go on a see saw and have an imaginary friend on the other end. Or maybe there was two kids on the see saw and the other one abandoned their side, leaving the kid to play with themselves. Yep, certainly is a mystery as to how a kid can play on a see saw by themselves

She'd have died just from the launch alone - assuming that much direct-force acceleration didn't sever her spinal column instantly, the amount of spinal and cerebral damage she'd get from the launch means she'd have died before landing.

@@andriusk5044I totally believe the 42G figure - given the terminal velocity and mass of the skydiver, 42G is quite reasonable. The thing is, people *have* survived G forces that high - check out some of the early rocket sled testing for the development of fighter aircraft ejector seats. But the thing that makes this one lethal isn't just the 42G, all applied directly up the spinal column, it's the jerk force, i.e., it's the amount of acceleration applied so suddenly.

It's an episode I've never seen before. And I thought I'd seen them all.

well i dont know if its busted. its veeeeeery unlikely but when the parachuter hit the seesaw not with his whole body AND the seesaw cut away some of the energy by bending AND the girl landed on the building on the very top of the shooting arc there could be a slight chance of survival? maybe? anyways awesome episode!

Another awesome upload. There is one episode in particualar that I would love if you can upload here. That episode is Season 8 Episode 8, it's the one where they test a giant water slide and see if you could land in a kiddie pool? Which is my favourite myth Adam and Jamie test, and it also includes my favourite test that the build team gets which is is it more fuel efficent to only take right turns? If you can upload that at some point in the near future, That would be greatly appreciated.

Green shockwatch is 100G, Red is 50G, they got them the wrong way arround.

plausible. If the seasaw bent causing about half the energy to be lost, the girl would get a softer launch and go about 70 feet up. The variables are too much to control. Really unlikely, but not impossible.

Audio is fine. It is just that the various audio components are placed on different channels: The narrator is on left. All on-camera audio is on right. Music and additional audio effects are on both / center. Listening in mono will merge all those in one blur and give you a very poor apparent sound. Listening with good headphones will allow you to hear and distinguish everything. (With phones you can easily hear that the audio quality on individiual channels are just fine.)

I always wished they would re-do this one. The fulcrum point on Jamies design is a fundamental difference to the small scale tests - thats why she flys in more of an arc - and the pressures involved to go 13+ stories are much higher than those required for the myth's 7. Thats before we get into the different materials these things used to be made from. This was one of those episodes they just didn't get right.

The force of the skydiver that is transferred to the little girl should still be reasonably accurate. Sure, the resulting leap was massively over what the myth stated, so the forces involved are much greater, but even so, even with only half the acceleration, that little girl would not have come out scot-free from that launch. The pivot point may have been off, but the force applied was not. As stated, this seems to be a rare case of a myth underestimating the physics involved.

@siraff4461

5 ай бұрын

@@mirceailisei4770 How can you say the force applied wasn't off? She went almost twice the height and a lot of horizontal distance more than the myth. The design they came up with doesn't allow for anywhere near the bending force (intentionally) and redirects it where the real design - as shown in small scale - doesn't. Using the real design there would have been some deflection and using a better analogue would have allowed much greater deformation and much lower force transfer. Pretty much every physics based part of this is wrong.

@@siraff4461 The weight and speed of the skydiver were accurate. Hence, the forces at work were accurate. That she went double the height means the forces at play were greater than the myth expected. The matter of force transfer loss was handled in the very first experiment. A proper seesaw would not be able to handle it. The first test proved that the forces involved are too great for a regular seesaw and the last one proved that the forces involved are even greater than what the myth states. Even if you engineer the situation to deliver only the required energy to reach the mythic height (which would not be an accurate representation of the forces involved), the girl would still not come out unscathed. Myth busted.

@@mirceailisei4770 The first test was with oil barrels. I'm not great on human anatomy but I believe there would be a little more give. The speeds involved also make a difference because things resist compression at different rates dependant on speed - which is why if you slap cement it hurts but if you slowly put your hand in it there's not all that much resistance. Nothing on this experement was done properly and there were a lot of things which glossed over multiple variables - the human "analogue" being rock solid on impact, the speed being adjusted which suits force but not fail rate, the lack of any give in their seesaw, the difference in fulcrum height, the difference in angle of attack and all the rest. Even the idea that the whole of the skydivers' body weight would hit in one place on the seesaw is laughable. You can't honestly think that with so many glaring differences form the myth that this in any way represents busting it? This is a nonsense.

@@siraff4461 Even considering more give, the forces at play are still too great. The little girl was subjected to 42G's at launch. She is not walking that off. Even assuming only around half that in order to reach the mythic height, you're still talking about around 20 times the force of gravity being applied to her body in an instant. She would be seriously injured. No matter how you look at it, it's busted. It's certainly feasible to engineer a situation to deliver something exactly 7 stories up, but the girl being unscathed is a key element of the myth and that is not happening. No matter how much energy loss there is, the energy required to achieve the mythic height is too much. No matter how much you gripe about it, there's no getting around the physics of the matter.

just hitting your butt on you floor slightly fast on a seesaw hurts, imagine a bomb setting your bones broken, organs ruptured, green means you wont be able to move, but can survive, they got red. Means they cant move and will not survive. All your bones are broken, your body is soup.

If the girl was only "likely injured, just from the launch from the seesaw", the myth is actually plausible, with regard to the survival of the girl. If she was launched just the right height, just the right distance, in just the right direction, there would be no fall injury. The skydiver missing the seesaw with the right amount of mass or the seesaw breaking in just the right way, and the seesaw pointing in the right direction and having just the right swing amplitude, would ensure that. The only basis for busting the myth, then, would be that no realistic seesaw could hold together sufficiently well. That would require a careful study of available seesaws from across the globe. If there's a sufficiently over-designed seesaw out there, the myth is plausible, in the narrow sense of "not impossible". Would it happen? Pragmatically, definitely not. Could it happen? Perhaps. Moreover, if the theory of an infinite multiverse is correct, it certainly has happened, an infinite number of times.
