Bullshit. Nowadays they don't even test stuff worth testing, they just take any stupid myth they hear because it allows them to blow something up. There was a myth with 2 18 wheelers running head on with a "sub compact" between them and the sub compact "fusing" the 18 wheelers so the whole thing could be towed off as one piece. First of all, what a pointless myth to test. Second of all, are you fucking stupid? of course that wouldn't work, thats retarded. Third of all, the cars involved weren't specified, they just took 2 old 18 wheelers and some random shitty small car and acted like they were perfectly recreating the scenario. Unless you have EVERYTHING EXACT as it was in the myth, you are not testing it, you are just performing the scientific equivalent of jacking off. Now, on the other hand, if they changed the premise of the show to where they admitted that they just did the best they could and that they could never really know 100% whether or not any myth was true, that would be fine, there's nothing wrong trying to recreate the results of something you've heard, but the way they try to act like their shitty experiments are scientific law makes me want to pull my hair out and scream.
