322: Border Slingshot

Can you really build a human-sized slingshot to launch yourself across the border? And more importantly… should you? This week on MythBusters, Adam and Jamie take on one of the show’s weirdest myths yet: the tale of immigrants supposedly flinging themselves from the Canada into the United States. Yes, Canada.  In a rare twist, the episode focuses on just one myth, which has Cliff and Harrison debating whether less is more when it comes to MythBusters mayhem. Plus, we take a detour into the surprisingly real world of professional slingshotting (yes, that's a thing). Tune in for human launch physics, airborne awkwardness, and a whole lot of confusion on this week’s new Try This at Home!   Produced by Slug Line Media Hosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison Stewart Music by the Mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder Cover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services
