@strangebatteries I'm expecting grief after this, but it has to be said: Bad joke my friend, VERY bad Joke indeed. They have done this for years and strive to take ALL precautions to avoid such incidents like the one you just brought up.
@Glacier36 Sadly it did happened last year. Search "Mythbusters cannonball" to find news footage of it. But yea that was one of the few times some major collateral damage happened away from one of their tests. But there have been some close calls.
I've realized duck tape's efficiency varies from brand to brand. The one I bought at Walmart doesn't compare to Staple's brand. I don't know if the fact that walmart's was of "industrial" grade. Wouldn't that supposed to mean it's the top one? Any experience with different brands guys?
they aren't planks for a start, it is a wire skeleton, also. if they boat was made of nothing but duct tape it would flop to a flat sheet.. they know what they are doing..
@Guzzist11 Well, you go build your FULL duct tape only boat and prove us all wrong and yourself superior. If not, then STFU, as the kids say. They built a duct tape boat, and you did not. That makes them better than you.
@Guzzist11 You weren't listening. They explained that they couldn't use only duct tape since it will not hold a solid shape. I'm not sure you could make a boat any more purely out of tape, so I think they did a good job =)

And helpfully if you pause at 13:22 in the credits you can see the exact brand of tape they used :)

they never found the first cannonball because it bounced into a neighborhood and smashed through a house and car!

@TheGary1882 i think they just used the shells to 'measure' the amount of gun powder. The powder itself was poured from a tin can.

well sorry, but the boat is NOT made of duct tape. the planks are spanned with tape, but thats all.
to call it a duct tape boat you should use NOTHING else,..maybe the cardboard inletts but nothing else.
