In this.

00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:43,160
One is, can your depth
of your drop of bungee jumping

Be made precise enough
so that when you hit the water
60

You don't hit the bottom
and kill yourself?

Two... Can you actually aim
where you fall in bungee jumping

To hit a target
as small as a barrel?

if all of that works,

tune buster's fall

of the barrel?

say jamie is in the basket now

is an antonov an-2,

at speeds as low as 35.

it's when the wind machine

Where it gets interesting,
241

And the ball no longer travels
in a straight line.
242
00:10:25,850 --> 00:10:28,920
Sometimes it does a corkscrew.
Sometimes it just drops.

349
00:15:32,090 --> 00:15:34,430
It's time to take to the skies.
350
00:15:34,430 --> 00:15:36,160
Or is it?
351
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,400
All right, bad news.
352
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,970
Well, good news for me,
because i'm scared of heights.
353
00:15:38,970 --> 00:15:40,870
The insurers think
that us wing walking
354
00:15:40,870 --> 00:15:42,370
Is going to be
too dangerous.
355
00:15:42,370 --> 00:15:44,200
We're not allowed
to go up in a plane.
356
00:15:44,210 --> 00:15:46,340
Seriously? How are we
going to test this myth?
357
00:15:46,340 --> 00:15:48,440
Grant: okay,
i've got a substitute.
358
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,080
How about we build the wing
out of a platform,
359
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,110
We affix it
to the back of a truck
360
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:55,320
And drive it down the runway
at alameda?
361
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,680
That's a really good idea.
362
00:15:56,690 --> 00:15:57,980
I mean, essentially,
this myth
363
00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:59,990
Is about the ball's behavior
in a headwind, right?
364
00:15:59,990 --> 00:16:02,760
I love it... A low-Flying plane
that doesn't get off the ground.
365
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,330
Now, we're just going to have to
have a successful volley.
366
00:16:05,330 --> 00:16:07,460
That might be harder.
[ Laughs ]
367
00:16:09,530 --> 00:16:12,070
Narrator: so, to find out if
you can play tennis at altitude,
368
00:16:12,070 --> 00:16:13,970
The team is going to have to
bring this myth
369
00:16:13,970 --> 00:16:16,040
A lot closer to the ground.
370
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,910
But building a plane
on the back of a truck
371
00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:21,340
Is not something you can wing.
372
00:16:21,340 --> 00:16:26,210
Okay,
so that makes a total of...
373
00:16:26,210 --> 00:16:28,850
narrator: and with the safety
of the mythbusters at stake,
374
00:16:28,850 --> 00:16:32,790
Grant is dotting his is
and crossing his t-Beams.
375
00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:36,290
And his final design
has a 40-Foot wing
376
00:16:36,290 --> 00:16:38,120
And a 15-Foot tower,
377
00:16:38,130 --> 00:16:42,100
Along with a network of supports
that will keep this fixed wing
378
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:44,960
Firmly in place
on the back of the truck.
379
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,800
Grant: so,
now that we've built our wing
380
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,170
And we've got the measurements
381
00:16:50,170 --> 00:16:51,900
Of the actual truck
we're going to use,
382
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:54,310
It's time to build the thing
that connects the two,
383
00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:56,110
Which i call the tower.
384
00:16:56,110 --> 00:16:57,610
That's quite a thing.
385
00:16:57,610 --> 00:17:00,080
It's got a lot of crossmembers
and supports.
386
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,420
But without all those things,
the people on the wing
387
00:17:03,420 --> 00:17:06,320
Would be flapping up and down
several inches,
388
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,420
Making it
not only very dangerous
389
00:17:08,420 --> 00:17:11,120
But also damn near impossible
to play tennis.
390
00:17:11,130 --> 00:17:14,130
Narrator: the tower and supports
are super heavy-Duty
391
00:17:14,130 --> 00:17:15,660
To brace the wing.
392
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:18,130
It's a good thing
this thing doesn't have to fly.
393
00:17:18,130 --> 00:17:19,970
Narrator: and finally,
394
00:17:19,970 --> 00:17:23,400
After three days of cutting,
welding, and triangulating,
395
00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:26,940
They're ready to assemble
their flightless flying machine.
396
00:17:26,940 --> 00:17:29,140
This ought to do.
397
00:17:29,140 --> 00:17:31,780
Oh, my god.
This is perfect.
398
00:17:31,780 --> 00:17:34,010
Tory: we've outgrown the shop.
Our build was just too big.
399
00:17:34,020 --> 00:17:36,550
The wings were too wide,
and we couldn't build it there.
400
00:17:36,550 --> 00:17:38,990
Otherwise, we wouldn't be able
to get it out the door,
401
00:17:38,990 --> 00:17:41,420
Over the bridge, and through
the tunnel to the runway.
402
00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:43,760
Let's build a plane.
403
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,530
So, we came out here
to an actual hangar,
404
00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:49,200
Which is perfect, because
we're making an "airplane."
405
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,330
And the best part is, behind
those giant doors is our runway.
406
00:17:53,330 --> 00:17:55,230
Grant: so, all of our pieces
have been unloaded,
407
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,400
And now it's time for assembly.
408
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:59,010
We're welding together
the two wing halves
409
00:17:59,010 --> 00:18:01,440
To give us a 40-Foot wingspan.
410
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,010
Nicely aligned.
411
00:18:03,010 --> 00:18:05,850
Next, we're welding this tower
onto the wings
412
00:18:05,850 --> 00:18:07,410
And adding extra supports
413
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:10,680
So it'll give us
another 8 feet of height.
414
00:18:15,690 --> 00:18:19,190
And after we're done with that,
we flip it all over
415
00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:22,030
And put it on top
of this big-Ass truck.
416
00:18:22,030 --> 00:18:24,430
This doesn't look dangerous
at all.
417
00:18:24,430 --> 00:18:26,500
Narrator:
at 15 feet off the ground,
418
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:28,870
The guys may not
technically be flying,
419
00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:30,900
But they may as well be.
420
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:35,640
Oh, this just doesn't seem
like a good idea anymore.
421
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,740
Kari:
this is terrifying.
422
00:18:38,750 --> 00:18:40,880
This is so high
off the ground.
423
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,750
If this thing flexes at all,
424
00:18:42,750 --> 00:18:45,250
One of them
is wetting their pants.
425
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:48,220
Narrator: and with 40,000 pounds
of steel in place,
426
00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:51,190
The guys weld it
to the truck bed.
427
00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:54,930
I would have to say, out of all
the welds on this thing,
428
00:18:54,930 --> 00:18:57,630
These are probably
the most important.
429
00:19:01,030 --> 00:19:02,900
Kari: yeah!
430
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:06,010
Grant: there you go.
Like a glove.
431
00:19:06,010 --> 00:19:07,470
Perfect.
432
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,810
Just like we planned it.
433
00:19:09,810 --> 00:19:12,040
All right, so our makeshift
airplane is finally complete.
434
00:19:12,050 --> 00:19:14,750
We've got a 40-Foot wingspan
435
00:19:14,750 --> 00:19:18,250
That is supported by about 4,000
pounds of steel and cabling.
436
00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:19,750
It should be very sturdy.
437
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:22,290
We have our safety rigs in place
so the boys will be safe.
438
00:19:22,290 --> 00:19:24,090
We have an anemometer
strapped up there
439
00:19:24,090 --> 00:19:25,960
So that we can get
precision wind speeds.
440
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,790
It's completely supported
by a turbo-Diesel tow truck.
441
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,000
Now all we've got to do
is try it out on the runway.
442
00:19:38,370 --> 00:19:39,840
Narrator: yep.
443
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,740

of intense endeavor...

tory: this is awesome.
445
00:19:44,550 --> 00:19:48,210
...they now have the closest
thing possible to a plane.
446
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:51,750
This is definitely something
you don't see every day.
447
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:55,560
So, with their no-Fly zone
established,
448
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,090
It's game on for this myth.
449
00:20:07,670 --> 00:20:10,370

are at the end of their rope
450

Testing if you can bob
for an apple on a bungee cord.
451

so now, we've got our height
and our weight dialed in
452
00:20:16,540 --> 00:20:18,950
To where our heads
are penetrating the water
453
00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:20,510
Just a few inches.
454
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,650
And we've also
nailed the accuracy.
455
00:20:22,650 --> 00:20:24,580
Yeah!
456
00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:27,250
So now it's time
to bring in the hard part,
457
00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:29,290
Which is
biting onto one of these
458
00:20:29,290 --> 00:20:31,760
Or, more accurately,
one of these,

your teeth or your nose.

So, these foam ones,

We'll see how we do with those
first.

ready to go for an apple?

with you.

you should reach.

move the target slightly

To where you were
actually landing,

at bobbing for apples
871
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,230
With the mechanical mouth
didn't work.
872
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:30,740
It wasn't a failure.
873
00:38:30,740 --> 00:38:32,800
The bungee cords
didn't go long enough.
874
00:38:32,810 --> 00:38:34,570
Cycling quickly
should take care of that.
875
00:38:34,570 --> 00:38:37,580
And the target was a little off
because the wind has picked up.
876
00:38:37,580 --> 00:38:40,080
So, we're going to move it
about 18 inches that way.
877
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,820
And, hopefully, this is the last
dive he has to ever do, ever.

well, i think we can safely say

jamie's fear of heights

Is trumping the desire
to replicate the circumstances.

his final bite of the apple.
