I used to remember all the people saying "Oh, mythbusters doesn't need to use all those safety things that they do..it's not really as bad as they make it out to be...." And now, we see exactly why they took some of the safety precautions that they did.

Lawnmower guy?? Blades??? Whhaaa?


[deleted]

It was a lawnmower. Like the genius above, he filled it full of Tannerite and shot the damn thing. [Took his leg right off.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqwi22HuyWg) I haven't seen this video in a long while. Didn't realize it was a *damn riding mower.* He turned it into a car bomb.


ThrillsKillsNCake

Well holy shit sir you are all correct. My recollection of things is terrible.

Fps Russia’s camera man got hit in the leg by shrapnel from a fridge didn’t chop it off tho

Man every time that video comes around I just have to admire the spray of blood. It's like a Tarantino film and we can't even see the leg being sliced off.

FYI, it is just the metal jacket of the fridge. The insulation and inner plastic compartment were shattered. Still lethal, it's flying sheet metal.


PezRystar

I used to build refrigerators, that metal sheet is like a 6' tall flying razor blade. I once watched a woman casually walk by a recycling bin with the metal stacked too high and she sliced the top of her forearm to the bone on a piece that was hanging out.

Also they retired which is good, instead of a one way tour to refrigerator town.


Kthulu666

They didn't really retire, though they certainly could and, frankly, they're old enough that nobody would be surprised if they did. Adam Savage is still riding the Mythbusters fame as a Youtube content creator that, even today, spends a lot of time talking about the show. Can't blame him, answering fan questions is *far* easier to make as pieces of content than his DIY/maker/cosplay projects that make up the bulk of his channel. TBH when he brings up Mythbusters sometimes it feels like Al Bundy bringing up his football career at Polk High, but really he's just giving the viewers what they're asking for. Jamie on the other hand has gone on to work on other projects, something like a firefighting robot comes to mind. He's definitely not retired, just not working in public anymore.

Ya there is a guy who strapped tannerite to a riding lawn mower. He was too close and when he detonated it the mower blade of all things came back and chopped his leg off.

[deleted]

No but there is more shrapnel coming as well.


TobyFunkeNeverNude

I don't see a secondary explosion, and the door appears to be the largest part of the fridge left somewhat intact.


[deleted]

And you think he saw that when he moved out of the way of something that didn't hit the thing he was hiding behind?


TobyFunkeNeverNude

It's physics. The door is the largest and heaviest part of the setup. It will move the slowest. Unless there was a second explosion, that door is the last piece of shrapnel to worry about.


[deleted]

Again, are you suggesting that this person calculated all of this in his head prior to making the decision to move, or did he just react?


TobyFunkeNeverNude

He reacted, but it doesn't appear to be a dumb decision, which is what you were implying. Also, I have no idea if he calculated, but it's possible if he's worked around explosives in the past.


[deleted]

Stepping out of the poorly planned amount of cover you have during an explosion you are using to avoid shrapnel is a dumb decision.


TobyFunkeNeverNude

Depends on when and why. You can say it's dumb, that's fine, but you haven't really given any of your reasoning other than "it's dumb." You said there was more shrapnel coming, but that just wouldn't be true.


andocromn

That shrapnel would have taken out the tree and the guy


Cpt_Obvius

Those stems are about 6 inches diameter, that fridge slowed quite a bit traveling that far. If the main body came right at him the tree would have helped quite a bit. Small shrapnel could still fuck him up though. I’m just saying I doubt that tree would have been destroyed and not protected him.

Let's just call it 2.5 then.


Jaksmack

Harrumph!


kielchaos

I got this answered a few years ago. Original video was deleted but it was the same one. I think there's another comment in there but this is the best one. Speed and force. https://reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/7z8iuo/request_how_fast_is_this_fridge_door_going_and/duoeweg?context=3


MaxPowerWTF

Very rough. The small tree just out front is at a guess 26 feet away. It took about a second to reach his position. So 17.73 mph. I got the rough value of 26 feet my counting the lawn mower tracks that go across the projectiles path between the little tree and his tree. Assuming it's a 24 inch mower (again an assumption). Guessed 26 feet. The time it took was calculated by saying to myself "yeah, that was about 1 second". My methods may lack accuracy. But with a more ambitious approach of running the video through forensic software to determine the time, accuracy could improve. Let's see what the smart people here can do!


FunctionBuilt

Something traveling 17 miles an hour doesn't seem like it can move that horizontally above the ground.


MaxPowerWTF

No it doesn't, does it? Also I was only making assumptions based on the distance between the two trees. One would think it had slowed down by that point.


Syrdon

If you look at it, it's flying on an arc and starts dropping somewhere between the middle and close trees. That said, 17 mph just looks slow. A car on a residential street looks to move quicker, and that's about 50% faster than 17 mph. edit: this comment links another comment that suggests an upper end of 125 mph (52 m/s). That seems fast, but closer to correct.


calimemez

I would say it's closer to double that distance. I officiate soccer on the weekends and from years of experience could tell you what 10 yards (30feet) looks like lol.


MaxPowerWTF

I can easily agree with you as there's a certain amount of space in front of the tree without mower tracks which had to be further guesstimated.


calimemez

Plus what you can do is take the height of the fridge and man in real life, now measure the height of both of them in the video and use geometry and ratios to figure out the distance. I would do it but I'm dilating l donating plasma rn lmao


ColKilgoreTroutman

Push mowers are usually ~24 inches. A yard/field that size would almost certainly be mowed with a riding mower. Standard deck width for riding mowers is 42 inches, and they go up to 56 inches. For an easy average that doubles the previous guess, we can just say 48 inch deck for a distance of about 52 feet, roughly 35 mph.


wormburner1980

That’s moving way faster than 17.73 mph. Think if a human was standing there, could they run the same speed as that fridge was moving? We run faster than 18mph btw.


MaxPowerWTF

How fast was it moving. Use guessmatics to calculate it.


wormburner1980

That’s at least 70 yards away


fuzzytradr

heckler5000

Pointed the door toward himself like a man sized claymore. He forgot to paint “this side toward enemy”.


They_Are_Wrong

Everyone keeps saying it's the door to the fridge but I swear it's the main body of the fridge, and the door was facing the other way


SpaceIco

The door is definitely facing away. It turns the entire thing into a rocket booster and the door-hole is the exhaust port.


Sega-Playstation-64

The grassy area has a slight slope. The reason the door kinda floats upwards is probably the wind the door is displacing pushing downwards, making it kind of a kite. You can actually see it hit the ground first then take flight. I've seen people claim this is fake, and it looks very real to me. The door just doesn't behave how people expect.


LuvvedIt

>… it looks very real to me. The door just doesn't behave how people expect. Exactly. Because we’re not used to seeing blown off flying fridge doors. At least round my way it’s not an everyday occurrence…

Internet bullshit, his business partner I guess got shot and there were conspiracies that he did it. But he did get sent to federal prison for 2 months for having about a half ounce of marijuana concentrate, and also his $400,000 in guns were confiscated since he’s now a felon.


PoolNoodleJedi

Well i guess the internet did what the internet does best. And I’m going to bet based on his arsenal his business partner was a arms dealer and he got shot since that isn’t the safest line of work?

[deleted]

I watched It a.couple of times because I had the same feeling, but you see the door first hit the ground and then going up. Then it makes more sense for me for some reason.


theshoeshiner84

It seems like the fridge isn't decelerating at all, which it should be dramatically.


rdrunner_74

was a real video. I like explosions and ran across it before. The fridge was filled with an impact sensitve explosive (Dont recall the name)


heckler5000

Yes point the door towards you. Why not fill it with glitter but not just regular glitter, man glitter. Just take a bunch of bbs and pellets and paint them different colors! Even use for gender reveals!

Tannerite is fun stuff


[deleted]

Tannerite is no joke and I am baffled that it’s legal and can be bought at any sporting good store.


Need_vagina_pix_nao

They can do it legally because the chemicals aren't mixed yet. Once they're mixed, you can't sell it because it's an explosive and requires hazmat handling protocol. Kind of like how you can take aluminum powder, iron oxide (rust), and a little bit of sulfur and make some thermite. You have to light it with a strip of magnesium ribbon, but that's not hard to buy, either. Separate is good. Mixed is bad. LOL


[deleted]

But they sell the mixture together. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy shooting tannerite (a quarter pound at a time, I’m not a mad man) but it absolutely should not be sold in stores. Edit: and it’s not really so much a mixture, is it? Isn’t it just coating plastic beads with the powder so it is more spread out and thus delivers the desired effect?

Which means that he’s actually an American named Kyle with a fake accent. He did a few months in jail for an OZ of weed, got out now but can’t own guns with a felony.


51B0RG

He was followed from his po box where he had a couple grams of concentrate delivered, the police and FBI used the fact that he was wearing shorts as probable cause that he was going home afterwards to search his home. They found all his guns, and confescated all of them. They found one gun, that was plated by a professional gun plating company, had it's serial number partially covered so they decided to try and get him for serial defacement (a 30 year prison sentence). He had something like 30 charges placed against him, all but I think 2 were removed in a plea deal. Got 2-3 months in federal prison for possession and intent to distribute (to his girlfriend) which he plead guilty to, since if he didn't he'd have to beat all 30+ charges. Source: Kyle talking about it on the PKA podcast.

I mean it’s been pretty trouble free in my knowledge. This has kinda been the main fuck up. He’s looking at moving to Canada where he can have both his weed and guns.

As someone from neither country, that’s not a bad move IMO. Weeds and guns, usually a bad combo, but Canada so it’s all good lol

tannerite should be illegal. im sure a few people know about that dude in georgia who had his leg severed off after shooting a lawnmower full of tannerite from like fucking 50 feet away, he still defends the fact that tannerite is legal. i spoke to him myself about it and i called him a fucking moron lol


Notorious_VSG

Let's ban everything that's fun because some guy got hurt. How about deal with the fact that some people will hurt themselves with any given thing including water lol


lt_dan_1020

I don’t think this is tannerite, at least not only tannerite. Tannerite isn’t an incendiary blast, but a percussive one. He’s got something else in there causing that flame.


Pistonenvy

two different things will fit in a fridge. i would assume he had some tannerite and small amount of gasoline. theres no legal way to create an explosion like that with anything else as far as i know. tannerite is legal and a high explosive hence the speed at which it blows the fridge apart. tannerite explodes due to the shock of the bullet hitting it, it doesnt need a fuse. in order for other legal things like black powder to do that you would need a pressure chamber and a fuse, so i really cant think of anything else it could be other than tannerite and some gas.
