"Mythbusters" star breaks down Homer Simpson vs. the wrecking ball

Remember Adam Savage? The guy from "Mythbusters?" The one without the mustache and beret? He now runs a company called Tested that delivers a ton of YouTube videos, including many in which Savage answers questions from Tested members.

Homer Simpson, patriarch of the most-famous animated family in the history of time, has survived a lot of things that would have definitely killed him were he a real human. What about the one time he found himself between a wrecking ball and the wall of his home on Evergreen Terrace?

When "Mythbusters" tested that one they found out, well, first they found out that Homer's proportions are wild when brought into the real world. Then, they found out if he could have helped prevent damage to his house by being between the wall and the ball. What about Homer, though? Would he have died in that scenario? Watch the video to find out Savage's thoughts. One thing is for sure, and that's the face Homer would have never survived his day at Springfield Gorge.
