Myth statementStatusNotes
If a person sneezes with his or her eyes open, their eyes will fly out from the force.BustedIt was hard for Adam and Jamie to sneeze with their eyes open, but Adam eventually did the trick by forcing his eyelids open with his fingers. His eyes were fully intact. It would be impossible for a person’s eyes to pop out because of the number of natural attachments that keep the eye inside the socket.
A runaway car can be stopped by shifting the gears into reverse.BustedUsing both an automatic and a manual car, both cars were given the full force of the brake and stopped after 65 and 80 feet (20 and 24 m), respectively. Shifting into reverse did just about nothing, and both cars stopped after over 1,000 feet (300 m). The automatic car had a fail safe to prevent it from going into reverse while traveling forward, while the manual car could only engage reverse gear if it was stationary. They also tested if an automatic car in park would have stopped it, it did not. Additionally, shifting into reverse or park at high speeds can damage the transmission of the car.
Firing cigarette butts out of a gun can hit with lethal force.ConfirmedThe MythBusters first fired cut-off cigarette ends, but none of them penetrated the ballistics gel mold, let alone into the heart. It was only after they fired at point-blank range and fired cigarette butts from used cigarettes, full of cigarette waste material, thus adding mass, that the heart was damaged.
By cutting a hole in a tennis ball, one can squeeze the ball and the resulting air pressure can unlock a car door.BustedThe Build Team replicated an online viral video with two different tennis balls with two sized holes, but the car door did not unlock. They blasted the lock with full air pressure, but it still did not do anything. They finally recreated the events in video by having Tory unlocking the door remotely in the background, and were quick to point out that clever editing can make things look real.
…a hardcover Bible.ConfirmedSince the MythBusters chose not to use a real Bible, a hardcover book (the pocket reference of the MythBusters) was used, and was able to prevent a sword being thrust at human strength and speed from piercing the pig’s flesh.
…a bunch of coins.BustedThe coins merely deflected the blow to another part of the body.

Myth statementStatusNotes
…yodeling.BustedWhile the small-scale experiments indicated that aimed at the right place, an amplified voice can set off an avalanche, in the final test, no amount of yodeling by a professional yodeler could elicit a response. The yodeler was provided with a megaphone, but again, no avalanche took place.
…a whip crack.BustedAdam theorized that the miniature sonic boom caused by the cracking of a whip could trigger an avalanche, however, no avalanche took place.
…submachine gun fire.BustedThis myth was started with stories of World War I soldiers setting off avalanches in heavily snowed-in areas with their artillery, thus using them as environmental weapons. Adam and Jamie attempted to test if lower-powered weapons, such as machine guns, could also cause an avalanche. They tested this with a pair of MP5s, though they could not cause an avalanche to start.
A person’s tongue can instantly stick to a freezing (below 32°F) metal pole when touched, making it difficult to remove.ConfirmedThis is the classic “triple dog dare” stunt (from A Christmas Story). Using both Tory’s tongue and a pig’s, it was determined that a standard human tongue can be frozen to a cold metal pole substantially enough to risk pulling some of the skin and muscle off of the tongue. Kari jokingly suggested that a person could free themselves by urinating on the contact point between pole and tongue.
Driving backwards on an icy road will give the car better traction than driving forwardsBustedWhile it was determined that drivers get better traction on an icy road while driving in reverse, when put into practice, the increased traction did not offset the sheer difficulty of driving in reverse. The Build Team theorized that because driving backwards is so difficult by itself, the ice compounded that difficulty, rendering any additional traction useless.
