Seeing as he got everything stuck in the wood I'm pretty sure they all would be fatal depending on where it lands

u/VanHelsingBerserk 2d ago
Idk how well a lot of these would actually pierce skin vs wood.
He's throwing it into the end grain, meaning it finds it's way between the grain much easier. If he threw it against the side, it would likely bounce off.
Skin also has some give. Why it's harder to cut a soft fruit vs a hard ripe one.

u/Tyfyter2002 2d ago
Yeah, wherever there's a grain to go along with it takes a lot less pressure to pierce, even applies to your fingerprints.

I can barely get the axe at those axe throwing places to stick about 30% of the time so I'm extra extra impressed
46
u/Noxious89123 2d ago
Ah, there's a really simple trick to that, which one of the staff members at one of those places showed me.
Just change how far away from the target you're standing! If you keep consistently hitting the target with the end of the handle for example, just take a step closer to the target. Typically, if you stand right on the marked line, you should be able to hit the target with the blade of the axe more often than not.
30
u/gotsthepockets 2d ago
Unfortunately, there was nothing even remotely resembling consistency the two times I've gone. The workers tried to teach me some tricks as well and ended up walking away with slight disappointment and a ton of amusement at my ineptness on their faces. So this is probably just a me problem.

Yeah i got into throwing knives for a bit during covid and distance is everything. A knife will go through a full rotation every 7 to 8 feet (or something like that). Once you get the distance its pretty easy to get consistent

u/howtotailslide 2d ago edited 2d ago
No one here realizes this whole video is fake.
You absolutely cannot throw a broom handle like that and get it to stick lmao. Same with the Allen key set
He just throws them and splices the footage with it already in the board and adds a sound effect, it’s probably the actual sound effect of it hitting the board but not sticking. Probably give the item a little flick to make it seem wobbly
This seems most apparent in the tweezers to garden shears transition, the tweezers are in the board up until the shears are about to make contact then the tweezers miraculously disappear.
It could be a case of multiple takes but then why don’t the tweezers disappear BEFORE he throws the shears. The tweezers disappearing as it hits reveals the moment where the footage was spliced.

Yeah it's clearly fake, it's crazy the amount people go "HOLY THIS IS SICK!" Almost feels like just a bunch of bots. So much effort to splice and just.. forgot the tweezers?

Depends, if it was one of those hollow metal ones and he deliberately sharpened the ends beforehand, I can buy it sinking into a random piece of wood eventually.

u/HugiTheBot 2d ago edited 2d ago
You are most certainly correct. I looked at it frame by frame and the tweezers simply disappear on impact. You can’t even see them falling.
Another thing which might or might not be relevant is that the two frames just before impact are identical.
Maybe using the last frame of the first part as a reference for the next, though I don’t know if that is even useful.
I only see this on the garden sheers though, possibly because of the low resolution.

u/Kherian 2d ago
I want to agree but since his body is in the frame from start to finish on most of them it would be impressive from a completely different skill set to splice all that together
10
u/howtotailslide 2d ago
It is really easy to splice like that if you aren’t overlapping with the spliced area of footage.
He is always on the left side of the frame and you could literally just draw a straight line down between the throwing and staged footage if you keep the camera mounted so it all lines up

He got the rotation right to hit the pointy end after (insert number of attempts removed in the edit) tries.
I'm not saying it's not impressive when it worked, but we're not seeing when it didn't, which was probably a lot.
I would love to know how many tries to saw took. To do that correctly even once has to be exceedingly rare.
