Mythbusters (2003)

Mythbusters

Many of us live by beliefs that collapse under the weight of investigation. Popular conceptions are either revealed as misconceptions or enshrined in truth. With hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, then from 2017 on Jon Lung and Brian Louden!

Mythbusters

'Dumpster Diving'

ABC Entertains, 4:39pm, Sun, 15 Feb 2026, 51 minutes

REPEAT

Tonight, the Mythbusters plumb the depths and hit the heights with a double diving extravaganza. Adam and Jamie test a well-worn action movie cliche - that after a roof top chase, the hero can make his escape by jumping into a conveniently placed dumpster on the street below. Meanwhile Kari, Grant, and Tory probe a gruesome diving disaster - that a deep-sea diver in an old-style suit can be crushed into his helmet if the line connecting him to his surface air compressor breaks.

REPEAT

The teams puts the myth that if you mix enough antacid with water, you can generate enough CO2 to create a substance so volatile, that it can blow you right out of prison and back into freedom. But if that ploy fails, then there's always the escape made under the cover of total darkness.

REPEAT

If you knew half of what went on in a rat-ridden storeroom where the tinned drinks are kept before they're sold, you'd never bring a tin of coke near your mouth again. And what exactly makes you think your toilet seat is clean? Adam and Jamie's take on hygiene is of interest here. In the meantime, Grant, Jessi and Tory examine the notion that if you can't walk on water, at least you can drive on it.

REPEAT

The team tests the notion that a soda-filled foam cup is a dangerous thing to throw from one speeding car, at another. And they look at the viability of indefinitely defying gravity from a building or a cliff. Or that they can haul themselves into a moving helicopter from the landing skid.

REPEAT

Adam and Jamie examine whether diving underwater can protect you from an explosion. Meanwhile, Kari, Grant and Tory check whether you can bulletproof a car by filling its cavities with phone books.
