Just some helpful science if you ever find yourself face to face with a grenade :)

Thanks to Nathan for the High Speed camera. If you need a High Speed camera to rent for super cheap check him out. Insanely low prices for great gear- www.aimed-research.com/

Really good paper on why jumping into the pool is a much worse idea than the pool deck: www.scuba-doc.com/uwblast.html

    "Which one of us has a better chance of survival?" The baby alligator.

    Sitting here, 80 miles from Tampa, where you recorded this, with a thunderstorm going on. Just as you tossed the last grenade, there was a huge thunder. clap. I levitated a couple of inches out of my chair. Thanks!

    Of course Mark will survive, he’s the main character

    1:48 He protecc He attacc But most importantly He didn't cover his cracc
  • Mark playing with one of the worlds most well known and easily understood science toys, newton’s cradle. Mark: “these silver ball things”
  • I think this is the scariest video I have watched from either channel so far. I realize that these are almost certainly not live grenades but watching these mad scientist pull the ring and let go of the handle made my heart stop each time.
  • @bointplank1963
    "Hey Mark, where did you get these prop grenades" "...prop?"
  • @luke-nz5du
    This has been in my watch later for seven years I’m very glad to finally get around to it
  • @mdunity1018
    Mark: as long as you keep this handle down you're safe.... as he lifts the handle
  • @DBE_TheZek
    “So the question is, which one of us had a better chance of survival.” Well, I see Mark Rober is recording this segment, so I’ll go with land

    The little super Mario sound bites is so on brand for mark Love how he puts it in towards the end
  • The idea makes a lot of sense, but also to consider. The human body has a lot more mass between the air cavities and the force of the water than a balloon does. Our body wouldn't rely on the air inside to keep it's shape, we have a little something called bones. I think it would be helpful to see how much damage the shockwaves like that would do to bone and muscle, instead of just air and rubber.

    Moral of the story: If the grenade is on the ground jump on the pool, If the grenade is in the pool jump to the ground
  • Saw this video 6 years ago and now I forgot that mark was apart of this experiment and it surprised me haha.
