Join the science discord! discord.gg/pw5sZ3PTye After struggling with my mega-microwave I decided to have some fun. I got 4 gallons of bulk glue for mouse traps because I was curious if a person could escape from a human-sized glue trap.
I never saw anybody try it before so I was curious. At first I thought about getting a few hundred of the regular sized glue traps from the store and stapling them to the plywood but decided the bulk glue would be more economical and cover more surface area. It was not a cool color like the stuff in the store but I don't mind.

I had fun, thanks for watching!

    Florida man glues himself to a board to avoid a hurricane from throwing him into the sky
  • I don't know, still not as hard as trying to get up in the morning.

    Bro mythbusters did this, and they specifically said “don’t try this at home.”

    All the glue traps I’ve seen use strong paper as the base instead of something more solid so I imagine that it would be a lot harder to get out of it if it was flexible since it would be pulled up whenever you try and pull yourself out of the glue trap

    I think the thickness of glue to body size ratio should be perserved to really test it. Like you should use a couple inches thick of glue, if you really want to feel like a fly stuck in sticky paper

    All I could think about was "if he falls sideways, his ankles could be broken"

    Animals: Maybe I shouldn't walk on this. Human: Let me just walk on this willingly.

    The answer is no, and we never get another Backyard Scientist video again. He is one with the trap now.
