Can You Really Survive Jumping Into A Dumpster From A Rooftop? | MythBusters

Every action movie has the scene — the hero sprints across a rooftop, reaches the edge, and dives into a dumpster several stories below before dusting themselves off and running away — and Adam and Jamie decided the only responsible way to find out if that's survivable was to get professional stunt training, visit a waste management facility to inspect what dumpsters actually contain, discover that real dumpsters are full of wood, metal, and hospital waste, design a best-case scenario dumpster filled with foam rubber, drop Buster into it from 20 feet to measure the deceleration forces, find that it outperformed a professional stunt airbag, and then have Adam personally jump into the thing in a long black coat because some scientific conclusions demand a human being to finish them off properly. Subscribe so you never miss an experiment:    / @mythbusterstvshow   Using science as their weapon and curiosity as their fuel, Hollywood special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman spent 14 seasons and 296 episodes testing the world's most popular myths, urban legends, and movie moments. From the Diet Coke & Mentos explosion to surviving an underwater car escape — if it can be tested, they'll test it. #MythBusters #AdamSavage #ScienceExperiments
