They introduced Hang Time but in the aired episode, they did not show any measurements of Hang Time. In this Myth, the hang-time is far more significant (than linear kick yardage) as with American Football when a ball is punted with a good high loft, it gives the punting team extra time to assemble downfield to defend against the Punt Return. The Mythbusters are my heroes … but they missed the ball on this Myth.

In the helium football episode as you said that if u put a cylinder over the eiffel tower, the air inside is acually heavier than the tower itself. How is that possible??

I saw on an episode of The Footy Show (Australian Rugby League show) where they got one Hazem El Mazri to kick an air filled NRL ball and a helium filled ball. The helium ball went about 100 metres/330 feet and the air ball was only half as far. I still don’t know whether it’s real or not haha.
It’s on youtube if anyone’s interested.

Can you fill the football with hydrogen or pure oxygen? If that doesn’t work, try heavier gases.
