Can you really build a human-sized slingshot to launch yourself across the border? And more importantly… should you? This week on MythBusters, Adam and Jamie take on one of the show’s weirdest myths yet: the tale of immigrants supposedly flinging themselves from the Canada into the United States. Yes, Canada.

In a rare twist, the episode focuses on just one myth, which has Cliff and Harrison debating whether less is more when it comes to MythBusters mayhem. Plus, we take a detour into the surprisingly real world of professional slingshotting (yes, that's a thing).

Tune in for human launch physics, airborne awkwardness, and a whole lot of confusion on this week’s new Try This at Home!

Produced by Slug Line Media
Hosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison Stewart
Music by the Mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder
