Why Adam Savage Was Really Replaced on MythBusters' Most Dangerous Stunt

Mar 16, 10:00 AM

There's a reason Tory was the one who jumped off an 85-foot building on MythBusters - and it's not the reason you think. Special effects and rigging expert Matt Heron - veteran of Star Wars, The Matrix, and countless MythBusters stunts - finally spills the truth in this long-overdue reunion with Kari and Tory. Matt breaks down exactly how he rigged that legendary awnings stunt, what it really takes to keep someone alive on a rig, and the behind-the-scenes stories that never made it to air.
