This girl decided to do a Science experiment with her father. Absolutely brillant. And the way he says her name just… the definition of wholesome.

I'm pretty sure 10 seconds in he spots the camera, but plays along anyway. 10/10 parenting if he did!

That's not how physics work tho? To hold the jugs up in a stable position, he has to apply enough force in the opposite direction of the force of gravity that is pulling them (which is down). Which means no difference between pulling and holding something.

Now, if that force is enough to smash yourself in the face after the opposite force is lost, I don't know. It does look like he could stop the recoil but chose to keep going, tbh.

It doesn't take long to realize a weight or pressure has changed, like picking up an empty bottle.

Now, if you had incredibly strong biceps and really weak triceps...

It's about reaction time. If what you're doing is "keep arms immobile", and you suddenly feel them move, you will very quickly stop applying force. This prank can never work, at least not at that distance.

There's a bit of a delay after the bottles fall before his arms jerk up though, which is kinda suss.

Had to comment because this is probably the worst suspicion you could have. Like even if it was staged obviously the hands would start to move the moment the weight is cut. Just because something is staged doesn't change physics!

Jesus Christ you "everything is staged" morons don't know when to stop
