I had a problem with the way they tested the car cling with the boxes. It’s pretty easy to see, especially with Jamie’s run, that when Adam drove through the boxes, they all got stuck to the front end of the safety rig jutting out in front, which meant that they didn’t even touch Jamie.

Now, I know why they needed the safety rig, and I concede that some of you may argue that it’s more about the fear of crashing through something heavy than of the damage you’d probably take, but I disagree. If those boxes had been filled with something heavy and cumbersome, it could knock the hanger in such a way that he lets go of the car.

Ben: You realize that most if not all these revisits are fan suggestions as well? People wanted to see these. Don’t get antsy, they do lots of episodes in a season and most of them are new myths.

The water heater thing is true. When I was a kid, one of my fathers friends, Parker Brown had his house TOTALED when the water heater exploded due to a faulty escape valve and a stuck thermostat. I saw the house and it was completely demolished. The actual tank of the water heater was in a yard !/4 of a mile away and almost took out a boat on a trailer.

Firing a bullet round a corner.

I believe during ww2 german tank crews had a rifle with a bend in the barrel.
They could poke it out of the side or their tank
and use it to shoot anybody who was trying to creep up on them.

I was a little disappointed with this episode because most of the myths were revisits of old myths. There are tons of interesting suggestions on the discovery website. Surely some of the more original and creative ones are worth trying out.
