The insane laughter from Jamie is amazing.

God I miss this show
-
I'm honestly amazed by how little safety equipment they were wearing while doing this. I wouldn't want to sit on that riding mower without at least a helmet, and face mask.
-
We need more Mythbusters ❤ those times were awesome
-
I got hit by a rock that flew out lawnmower while my stepdad was mowing. It broke my eye socket and my eye was in my hand also chipped and broke my skull and long story short all the bones was shattered…. I was 8 and now 32
-
I've been blasted by an errant rock while mowing the lawn before. The force is easily sufficient to be serious, or even fatal in a flook incident.
-
The lawnmower would have to be at the right speed, perfect angle with the right size of rock and shape plus wet or dry.
-
The fact that no one was behind bullet proof glass while they were testing makes me think they were pretty sure there's nothing to the myth before they even started.
-
Nice.
-
Happened to me, didn’t kill anyone but it busted out the window to our van.
-
Grass shoot fits in that safety catch.
-
A rock knocked up by a lawnmower once hit out window. It went straight through the first layer of glass, leaving a clean hole. It didn't mark the second layer though.
-
I was hit in the head by a rock from a mower when I was 5. I still have a scar from it 48 years later.
-
i'm never get bored of the Mythbuster
-
got hit in the leg when i was 4 in 1969 with a pea sized pebble. left a silver dollar sized bruise
-
Talk to Stephen King about lawnmowers..: his only foray into directing went horribly, horribly wrong when his director of photography ended up with blindness in one eye after a robotic lawnmower would respond to the remote during the filming of Maximum Overdrive… upon reading of the situations..: i wondered why they needed a actual blade attached to said lawnmower anyway… remove the blade and merely make the sound effects.

I would’ve thought they would’ve used a riding mower that would’ve been a lot easier to go over the rocks and a lot more likely that people would miss them. OK I was a little premature :-) but still I was thinking in between the zero turn and what they used.
-
I got hit on the ankle by a councils seated mower as it threw a rock, right on the nobbly bone of the ankle, it floored me. It hurt so much.
-
To many rocks at once if all the force hits one that has a greater than hardness it could be fatally I busted a window out of a car with a weed eater
-
Chasing the leader in an enduro race your getting hit (with body armour) in the chest by the bike spitting up golf ball size rocks going 180kmph. Even with Kevlar armour it leaves your whole chest blue from bruises.
