Join Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman as they debunk, decode and demystify pop culture's most baffling urban myths and legends. Using modern-day science, they put each myth to the test, separating the real from the really out there.Legend has it that if your plane's going down and the flight attendant tells you to put your head between your knees, it's not to save you… it's to kill you! Allegedly, the aim of the brace position is to break your neck upon impact, so that the airline can get away with paying out a relatively cheap wrongful death suit – as opposed to financing years of physical rehabilitation for injured passengers. Jamie and Adam test the veracity of this troubling myth in their own mock airplane. Also, learn which is more likely to cause a car crash – a cell phone or a six-pack.
