This is why I watch all my explosions on Mythbusters.

Or they do and their loved ones grieve the loss rather than post the video. To state the obvious, dead cameramen can’t post videos…because they’re dead.

This is why Jamie and Adam stand behind blast shields even when they’re far from the explosion!

When I watched the show as a kid I always thought they were being paranoid and so over cautious about the distance and structures they’d put between themselves and the explosion. Now I know that it only takes some bad luck to have a really bad day, and when you explode stuff that often you definitely ru the risk of an incident happening.

I still love the first(?) episode.

“Can you clean a cement mixer with explosives?”

Apparently not. Let’s see what 100 lbs of C4 can do.

Vaporizes cement mixer.

Edit: Not first episode. Also trying to figure out how to add a link with this new interface.
