Running Through Glass in Slow Motion

- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan. Welcome to "The Super Slow Show." Dan, in your quest to look better in

slow

motion

, you told me you wanted to jump through a pane of

glass

. I did. I think I would look very bad doing that. - Like an action hero. - Yes. And then what happened yesterday? I got hurt trying to be bad. And what does that mean? You have to do it. (music plays) So I'm going to run through a pane of

glass

. This one is made of breakable glass. I'm going to launch my body at full speed.

Hopefully it won't bounce. And after that, why don't we try it with real glass? Oh man. I like how I wanted to do it and you don't want to do it, but you have to do it. If I find out that that injury is fake, I will be furious. Livid. Alright. (exhales forcefully) - (laughs) - Okay, done. - Is that your game face? - Yes. Very well, let's do it. You're not bad anymore. (laughs) - How do you feel? - Uh... it feels very unnatural to want to run towards this. I can tell, because you're doing this. (exhales) - Yes. - Going around.

I'll run through it like this and crush it with my elbow. Well. Because it would be stupid to do it like that. I think it would be better, but it's okay. - Very good, are you ready? - Yes. - (inhales) - Come on, good face. Oh, oxen! It may have slightly overshot the mat. That seemed like a lot of fun. Look, you left a Gav-shaped hole in the glass. Oh wow, it's like a cartoon. You're not also bleeding from the jugular, so that's good. (music plays) Dan: It looks like one of those portals in a video game where it takes you to a different dimension or something. - Yes. - Because it's like...

Because of the strange, kind of deformation... of the glass. - Yes. Gav: It was going to break with the knee and the elbow. Dan: Oh yeah, that looks good. (Gav imitates the destruction) Dan: That's good. Gav: Oh, that doesn't look bad. Dan: Directly. You sure look very bad. Gav: Oh, the glass looks great though. Dan: You made a pretty high turn up there. Gav: If that was real glass, I'd be cut into pieces. Dan: You'd be in pieces right now. Gav: Look at the incredibly unglamorous landing. (Both laugh) Over my head, legs spread. Dan: You ended up halfway down the mat when you landed and then you almost fell off the edge.

That's not glamorous there. - No. - Look at your legs. I've never seen Stallone land like that. You went from looking like a bad guy - to not being bad at all... - (both laugh) in about six feet. Badder than you deep down. (mocking babble) So you made the fake glass. - Yes. - How was that? Alright? Yes, I felt it, but it was good. Yes. Now let's get to the real thing. Yes. Yes, the other one was a little nervous to even touch him because he had run away. This is just glass. This is solid.

It's... It's also tempered glass. So it's not like glass where it becomes sharp. It is the safety glass. So I hope you're okay. That all depends on whether our little mechanism works. I'll guide you through it. We've attached a small detonator. Just before you go through it, I'll detonate it and shatter the glass right before you get to it. So if you arrive too early, the shot won't look as good. - Yes. - If you're too late, - you end up in the glass. - I hit a sheet of glass and probably bounced. - Quite. And then I detonate it and then it just falls. (music plays) I'm ready on the trigger.

Are you ready to run through real glass? I think my motivation in this case is that I'm in a skyscraper and it's going to explode. - I have to go out. - Well. Excellent. Here we go. - (exhales) - I'm ready. (moans, laughter) Oh! Oh Lord! - I'm fine. - Oh. Man: exploded. He didn't break the glass. Are you OK, friend? Is your elbow okay? - Yes. - Oh Jesus. - (mumbling) - (laughs) Oh! I promise I pulled the trigger. - I promise. - Oh. I did not expect that. - Are you OK? - Yes. (laughs) That was very funny!

I'm very glad it happened. (music plays) Gav: I was so naive and innocent. I thought it would be over by now. Well, I felt like if I curled up more, it would definitely pass because I'm concentrating more energy into a smaller area. That was the theory. - Oh! - Oh! Dan: That's such a strong impact. Because it's so clear, it seems like nothing stopped you. Look at me laughing in the background. - Check it out! - What's that? (Laughter in

) Well, how did you feel? It didn't feel magnificent. - No? - I didn't feel very well.

Look, now I'm at a disadvantage because I knew there was a chance it wouldn't break. - Yes. - But now I know what it feels like when it doesn't break. - Oh yeah. - So now I'll have the same level of beans

there? Well, technically, you're not the one who breaks the glass. So you don't even need to... Well, you can say it again. - Bloody hell. - (laughs) Okay. - Are you ready? - Here we go. Oh ho! - Man: Freeze! - You did it! Keep your eyes closed. Okay, you have a little... a couple of small cuts, but nothing serious. (music plays) Gav: Oh, there's the load.

Dan: That's a stronger accusation, for sure. Gav: It flew past me. You really bundled up this time. - (laughs) - No? I really wanted to go. Oh. Gav: It's like I'm wearing a crystal suit. Dan: It looks cool because... the glass follows your shape, right? Gav: Oh, it looks horrible, just landing on a load of real glass. Dan: It's surprising that it's real glass. However, because it is safety glass, all you have is a small cut. Gav: I couldn't really feel the cuts on my face and neck. I felt them more on my finger. Yes, you could never do that through non-tempered glass.

Dan: No. However, you got the effect we were looking for, where your body follows. I hope you enjoyed that video.
