In a recent video posted on his Tested YouTube channel, Adam Savage answers questions about risk assessment, a popular wives' tale, and an episode of Mythbusters that pushed Adam to his breaking point. He also talked about an industry practice that changed because of the MythBusters series.

Savage and his team did a ton of stuff on MythBusters, so that’s a great question! I’ve actually been curious about what the hardest thing they tried to pull off was. The one myth he mentions is the one involving the squished VW.

The Myth is that there were two tractor trailer trucks that collided at full speed head-on and when they pulled them apart a VW car was found squished between the two trucks. You can listen to him talk about what made this hard to pull off and why it drove him to his breaking point below.

I also included footage from that MythBuster episode below for you to watch.
