Can You Actually Sneeze With Your Eyes Open? | MythBusters

The fans voted and Adam and Jamie delivered — three of the most popular viewer-submitted myths in MythBusters history all tested in one episode: whether it's physically possible to keep your eyes open during a sneeze, whether slamming into reverse gear at highway speed stops a car faster than brakes alone, and whether a cigarette flicked with enough force could actually be lethal, and the results are a perfect cross-section of what makes viewer specials so great — one myth that turns out to be technically possible but deeply uncomfortable to achieve, one that turns out to be spectacularly dangerous to your transmission while doing almost nothing for your stopping distance, and one that turns out to be far less deadly than the internet has always claimed, all delivered with the full MythBusters treatment and the precise, gleeful methodology that made fans trust the show to answer their weirdest questions honestly. 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
