Personally I've got no time for the show, no time for the minor presenters, and no time for most of the things they do. Jamie has my respect, but that's as far as I go. I'm not surprised something like this happened whatsoever.

I agree with a lot of that as I usually end up skipping through most of the show.

Wow I hope the show doesn't stay down too long... I'm a hardcore myth busters fan
I'm pretty surprised this happened because I always thought that they went a bit over-board on safety with most things... Guess not

similar incident on a smaller scale:

The above happened with a streamlined supersonic projectile but stuff leaving the barrel of a spudgun can also be dangerous, be aware of what your projectiles may hit and be cautious about firing at high angles.
