- 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 want to jump through a pane of glass.
I did. I think I would look bad-ass doing that.
- Like an action hero. - Yeah.
And then what happened yesterday?
I hurt myself trying to be bad-ass.
And what does that mean?
You have to do it.
( music playing )
So I'm gonna run through a pane of glass.
This one is made of breakaway glass.
I'm just gonna throw my body at it full tilt.
Hopefully, it won't bounce off.
And then 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 injury's fake, I'll be livid.
Livid. All right.
( exhales forcefully )
- ( laughs ) - Okay, ready.
- Is that your game face? - Yeah.
All right, let's do it.
You're already not bad-ass.
( laughs )
- How do you feel? - Uh...
it feels very unnatural to be wanting to run towards this.
I can tell, because you're doing this.
( exhales )
- Yeah. - Pacing around.
I'm gonna run through it like this,
I'm gonna smash it with my elbow.
Okay.
'Cause it would be stupid to do it like this.
I think it would look better, but all right.
- All right, you ready? - Yeah.
- ( inhales ) - Go on, good face.
Oh, bullocks!
May have overshot the mat slightly.
That looked so much fun.
Look, you've left a Gav-shaped hole in the glass.
Oh, wow, it's like a cartoon.
You're not bleeding out of your jugular as well,
so that's good.
( music playing )
Dan:
where it takes you to a different dimension or something.
- Yeah. - 'Cause it's like...
'Cause of the weird, sort of, warped-ness
-
Gav:
Dan:
( Gav imitates shattering )
Dan:
Gav:
Dan:
Gav:
Dan:
Gav:
Dan:
Gav:
( both laugh )
On my head, legs spread.
Dan:
and then you almost went off the edge.
That is not glamorous there.
- No. - Look how your legs are.
I've never seen Stallone land like that.
You went from looking bad-ass
-
in about two meters.
More bad-ass than you in the background.
( mocking babble )
So you've done the fake glass.
- Yes. - How was that? All right?
Yeah, felt it, but it was fine. Yep.
Now for the real thing. Yeah.
Yeah, the other one I was sort of nervous to even touch
because it was breakaway. This one's just glass.
This is solid. It's--
It's tempered glass as well.
So it's not like the glass where it gets sharp.
It's the safety glass.
So hopefully you should be all right.
That all depends on if our little mechanism works.
I'll just take you through it.
So, we've wired up a small detonator.
Just before you go through it, I'll detonate it
and smash the glass just before you get to it.
So if you're too early, the shot doesn't look as good.
- Yeah. - If you're too late,
- You just into the glass. - I run into sheet glass
- and bounce off, probably. - Pretty much.
And then I detonate it, and then it just falls down.
( music playing )
I'm ready on the trigger.
Are you ready to run through real glass?
I think my motivation on this one
is I'm in a skyscraper
and it's gonna blow up.
- I got to get out. - Okay. Excellent.
Here we go.
- ( exhales ) - I'm ready.
( groans, laughs )
Oh!
Oh, my God!
- I'm fine. - Oh.
Man: It blew. It didn't break the glass.
You good, dude? Your elbow okay?
- Yeah. - Oh, Jesus.
- ( muttering ) - ( laughs )
Oh!
I promise I pressed the trigger.
- I promise. - Oh.
I did not expect that.
- You okay? - Yeah.
( laughs ) That was hilarious!
I'm so glad that happened.
( music playing )
Gav:
I thought I'd be through.
Well, I felt like, if I curled up more,
I would definitely go through
'cause I'm focusing more energy into a smaller area.
That was the theory.
-
Dan:
Because it's so clear,
it looks like you just got stopped by nothing.
Look at me laughing in the background.
-
( slow motion laughing )
Well, how'd that feel?
It didn't feel magnificent.
- No? - Didn't feel great.
See, now I'm at a disadvantage because I knew
there was the possibility it wouldn't break,
- Yeah. - but now I know what it feels like when it doesn't break.
- Oh, yeah. - So now am I gonna have
the same level of beans running towards it?
Well, technically,
you're not the one breaking the glass.
So you don't even need...
Well, you can say that again.
- Bloody hell. - ( laughs )
All right.
- You ready? - Here we go.
Oh-ho!
- Man: Freeze! - You made it!
Keep your eyes closed.
All right, you got a little--
couple of little nicks in you,
but nothing serious.
( music playing )
Gav:
Dan:
Gav:
You really tucked up this time.
- ( laughs ) - Didn't you?
I really wanted to go through.
Oh.
Gav:
a glass suit coming through.
Dan:
the glass follows your shape, doesn't it?
Gav:
just landing on a load of real glass.
Dan:
Because it's safety glass, though,
it's, like, all you've got is a tiny little cut.
Gav:
I felt them on my finger more.
Yeah, you could never do that through non-tempered glass.
Dan:
You got the effect that we were after, though,
where it, like, follows your body around.
Hopefully you enjoyed that video.
