Considering it takes roughly 9 months worth of flossing to cut through one steel bar you’re going to get out for good behaviour long before you remove all the bars of your cell and that’s provided you don’t get caught within the 9 months worth of flossing through one bar

@Rebelscca 3 ай бұрын

Also you will have to remove it at the top as well, so it will take you at least 18 months to remove one bar. More reasonable as well would be to remove two bars, as you might not be able to squeeze out if only one bar is removed. So with two bars, that makes 36 months. That's three years, just to escape from prison. And all this is considering that you don't get caught, which you most definitely will.

@kikixchannel 3 ай бұрын

@@Rebelscca I mean...getting out of the cell is not going to get anyone out of the prison. The prisons are made in such a way to allow people to leave the cells and still keep them inside. For one person to leave their cell, they'll be unable to exit from the block itself. As for trying to get out the window, I don't think there's much of a chance of going through the giant yard and fence (in best case scenario) with thorny wire up top is feasible without being seen... So yeah. A prison escape would require quite a lot more than just preparing a way to escape the cell.

I'm not sure you can assume that the car cling will always be with the windows up. The car could be damaged and the windows broken (if the person clinging doesn't break them themselves). Also putting up the windows takes time that the driver might not have - they'd have to drive one handed while that happens.

@AFNacapella 2 ай бұрын

As director or producer you have the whole show in mind. I bet the VO script was written along the prep and filming process to catch funny phrases like "strain with the crane" "oh, that sounds good, we put that in the VO" "wait a second, if you do that..." if they had dropped the VO line, they could've just cut Adam's first sentence out and started with "this is not a crane part..."

@blessedbow720 4 ай бұрын

@Speeder84XL 2 ай бұрын

That could be interesting. He had quite good grip strength though - holding up to 136 kg (300 lb) with one hand and deadlift 204 kg (450 lbs). I had expected him to be more like the average joe. That would have made it a really poor test, as the difference could be huge to just someone who work out. A good climber would of course do better, but the difference would probably not be huge, as it's more about the angles and quick changes of the G-forces rather than how big they are. Also, this wasn't about testing the human limits, but to bust the myth for how it works in movies. It would be ridiculous to assume anyone who cling on to a car in a movie is a pro climber... I would have liked to see more tests with windows down though - since it could be intersting to see the limits there. I would guess the braking while on the roof would be hard anyway (it's not easy to hold on in that angle). It could also be nice to test with a car that has roof railing (that would probably be too easy), haha But I guess they didn't want to do more tests than necessary as when they do fall off, it looked quite uncomfortable to get janked and tossed around hanging in that rope

@thomasjoychild4962 Ай бұрын

@@Speeder84XL I don't know if they COULD have done much more to make the windows-down harder, coz they mentioned their insurance wasn't happy for them to exceed 45mph.

@Speeder84XL Ай бұрын

@@thomasjoychild4962 They did for example no brake test with windows down. That would indeed have made it harder, as the direction of the forces is what matters the most. Going faster would indeed have made this whole ting cooler, but it wouldn't actually have made it that much harder to hang on. G-forces don't increase with speed for normal cars that has no down force. Make for example a 45° turn at 90 mph will take twice as long (and the radius of the turn will be 4 times as big), compared to 45 mph. But the force is the same. They already had the possibility to test "long lasting" G-forces in turns, when they where going in circles. The braking tests could be slightly harder from high speed though - as he has to hang on for longer. If he barely can hold on, at the beginning of the braking - those extra seconds is what could make him fall off before the car stops. That insurance thing was probably more about if something goes wrong though (as that was insurances is for) For example if their safety rig fails, the speed could matter a lot for the outcome.

when does they have the windows down ? if you are doing something like that you would break the window before it closes to give yourself a fighting chance.

It's not really plausible... Yes... you may be able to CUT through the bar, but it is NOT stealthy. You need at least TWO cuts, more reasonably four, and it will be sitting there for ALL the time you are doing the others.
