[Adam is disabling the elevator's safety brake for the experiment.]
Anticlimactically enough, I believe I've disabled the entire mechanism by removing this simple pin.
[After Buster falls down the elevator.]
I believe this is more damage than we've ever done to Buster in one myth before.
We'll never get pulled over for going six miles an hour!
A few of the guys from CHPs [California Highway Patrol] are on-hand to oversee the experiment. If anything does beat the radar, they wanna know about it.
[Kari just fired off the fire-extinguisher chaff gun.]
[to police officer] Which is gonna be more expensive: the speeding ticket or the littering ticket?
[laughs] The littering ticket.
The only thing that gave us any result, but just barely, was my favorite—And I think you'll like this one, Adam...the Radar Wheel of Death! [The Build Team plonks it in front of Adam.]
[laughs] Oh my god!
[Adam makes a miscalculation judging the necessary weight for a ten-inch-tall miniature Buster doll.]
10 inches tall…25 pounds. I just did the math. I need him to weigh 25 pounds.
So you're saying that he needs to be built out of depleted uranium.
[Laughs.] Do you have some? Is it under "D" or "U" over here?
Adam removes 5 plywood sheets from the 12 available.
[Adam breaks a sheet of wood veneer.]
Screw.
Uhh - make that 11.
One tore, bringing it out...trying to get it out of the way of Jay the cameraman!
[Buster is dropped 60 feet to the ground. He lands with a solid thud.]
[laughs] I was laying on the ground when he hit, and I felt the ground move a little bit.
I never get tired of doing that.
He's gonna die... but it's gonna look great.
[Adam's Plywood Parachute is about to be tested.]
These rigs represent three days of skill, passion, and effort. Pity, really.
[The parachute fails miserably.]
Well, a fat lot of good that did.
And that's why they don't make parachutes out of wood.
[to Jamie] I'm taking solace in the fact that your wing is going to fail so utterly spectacularly.
You're probably right. But then you never know.
[nods] But then you never know.
[Jamie's design falls to the ground, hitting the surface on its side and snapping into pieces. Buster thuds to the ground loudly as Adam begins laughing hysterically.]
[laughs] Whoooo!!!
Do you feel better now?
I do, I feel a lot better.
[a trailer just before a commercial]
Next, In his quest to build the ultimate plywood parachute, Adam Savage...screws up.
[after ruining a part of plywood] Oh, *beep*!
[Adam flying over Jamie on a zip-line.]
AAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO! I fart on you!
We're trying to up the bar on this stupid stuff we're doing.
