  • 2:05 here's an EXCELLENT way to slice the popliteal artery..... Don't try this at home kids ;)

  • Yes, a great way to slice an artery indeed! I had a trained medical team on site when filming this (my wife is a nurse). Anyhow, this wasn't smart, kids don't use your bodies as a weight.

  • Thank you so much for posting this! My wife is super paranoid that our aquarium will break because she sees a tiny space in the middle where it's not supported. However, since we only have the recommended amount of water and fish in there, rather than our entire bodies, I can assure her it will not break : )

  • Didn't see that coming. I was sure the tank would have broken around the 1:00 mark.

    Thanks for the video!

  • In a regular (non test) situation you could use even more weight than this. If you notice all the weight was directed at one point. In a regularly decorated aquarium the weight would be dispersed and not as stressful on the glas.. Good experiment. Also remember that a ten gallon is very short in length which adds to its strength. Luckily longer aquariums usually have thicker glass anyway. :)

  • @mm3861 I just came across this. If the glass is tempered it won't break into sharp edged shards, but smaller cubish fragments. Not that it means there's no risk of major injury.

  • I watched that whole video hoping to see it shatter and it didn't. Kind of bummed but still glad aquariums are so strong!

  • thanks for the test, looking to see how much I can add to my tank. I guess, all I want

  • Wait, where did you acquire a 10 gallon with a tempered bottom? I thought only certain sizes had tempered bottoms

  • @radean84 hahahahaha.

  • i wonder if having the full of water would make a difference? an extra 80 lbs or would the water cancel out some weight of the rocks? i dunno!

  • That's very impressive.
