These guys are REALLY hard up for ideas. The squeeze isn't a myth if there are documented cases of it happening. Physics says it's a real thing, history says it's a real thing...just because you don't think it can happen doesn't mean it's a myth.
@riddleman65 I think most people are able to figure out that Mythbusters chooses some of it's "myths" based on visuals and viewer interest. I've been diving since about 1986 and I'm glad they did this myth. It was a great visual....and sometimes...even though you know the result....seeing it has a much larger impact. Also, with today's technology....if it's not on film....it can be subject to debate. This video removes any doubt or wonder;) Long live MB's!
Ugh. Am I the only one who thinks these guys are WAY too enthusiastic about this? I mean, yeah. That's impressive and all. But in more of a "wow, I'm sure glad that's not happening to me" way, not a "HOLY CRAP GUYS THAT WAS AWESOME" way.
It's not really that funny. The only way the MythBusters found out about this is from a real story, and some poor diver going a way nobody deserves to go.
A 1atm rigid suit like the Newt Suit can only go to 2,000 feet. But a human being can work even deeper if equalized with the pressure, wearing just a wetsuit and a hardhat style diving helmet like most deep sea oil rig welders. I think 3,000 ft is the record for humans, and once a chimp was sent down to 5,000 feet in a diving bell. He was exposed to the outside pressure, and then decompressed gently on the way up. The way I hear it, he survived with no injuries.
That girl who temporarily replaced Kari was so god damn annoying. Everything she said was ignored, obviously because Tory and Grant were thinking "Shut Up".
newt suits (1 atmosphere) are...like the robotic type ones in james bond's "for your eyes only". but most commercial divers just wear a helmet and protective clothes.
@breaker1237547 Many of the myths they test on that show involve things that have killed people: aviation mishaps, car crashes, flaming overalls, rocket-assisted Chevrolets...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan show the same reactions when killing the populace. Americans are the same everywhere, gloating over a violent death.
Though I understand the hype over the confirmation, I still can't share their joy. "Sorry meat man, but it was totally worth it". Yeah right... totally worth the flood of images of dead divers in my head. Sea men pulling up their mates only to find shrunken husks and a bucketful of brains, blood and entrails inside the helmet.
@chitoryu12 Yes it was probably a slow death too. I'd imagine it's the same as putting a beer bottle to your lip and sucking the air out and then letting it suck your lip back in, but on a much larger and much more painful scale.
It would still happen I'm sure, just a little slower. 135 pounds of pressure per square inch! That's a lot of pressure. I really don't think you'd do any better than Meat Man did.
@gumballthechewy No doubt I'd be crushed, not sure about the squishing up part though, the human body is one incredible machine. And unlike meat man, I am muscle man : ) peace.
im watching this during the mythbusters top 25 moments because they showed a short clip of it and i just went "HOLY **** .what the **** was that?!" and i just had to look it up
@spartexx Of course! They just hire people who have no good reason to stay alive and tell them "hey, would you please die in horrible pain on a children's tv show???". Surprinsingly, a guy turned up and say he would....
It's the same thing as boiling a can with a a little bit of water in it... and then tossing on the lid HARD and off with the heat - then the steam cools and atmospheric pressure crunches the can as the 1 liter of steam cools to 1 cc of water.
Only with the diving system, the hose is the channel from the high pressure to the low pressure zone.....
I dont like this video. Its tasteless. Its easily on par with simulating how people are torn to bits when an aircraft crashes into the ground. Har har!
The most surprising thing on here was Kari's pregnancy, I am both happy/sad at the same time. Happy she's having a child, but sad that it is not my child.
Confirmed. Horrifyingly so.
