Mythbusters: Adam Savage
built 509 days ago
MythBusters places a strong emphasis on viewer safety due to the nature of the myths tested, often dealing with purported household scenarios. All episodes begin with Adam and Jamie giving a disclaimer against attempting the experiments seen on the show; most episodes ... feature a second warning halfway through the running time. These disclaimers are not aired with the broadcasts on Discovery UK, Discovery Canada or Australian channel SBS, however all other censorship remains.

The MythBuster’s challenge offered a refreshing change of routine for Schwenke, whose PhD in acoustics from Penn State University garnered him a position on Meyer Sound’s R&D staff three years ago. Currently, Schwenke heads the SIM 3 development team. “It was pretty amazing to be there,” he recounts. “I was a good 20 feet away, but I was feeling the effects as well – though less so than Adam, certainly.” Clearly, this MythBusters episode represents the ultimate embodiment of the old adage stating “It’s a dirty job but somebody has to do it.”

There are some myths and urban legends the MythBusters refuse to test. Paranormal concepts, such as aliens or ghosts, are not addressed because they cannot be tested by scientific methods, although one exception, pyramid power, prompted Savage to comment, "No more 'oogie-boogie' myths, please." The program avoids experiments harmful to animals and people that cannot be tested safely. The book MythBusters: The Explosive Truth Behind 30 of the Most Perplexing Urban Legends of All Time (ISBN 1-4169-0929-X) ... gives a list of a dozen urban legends that are unlikely to be explored (although three were eventually tested).
