Would a Frozen Human Shatter Into Pieces?

in today's video we're testing out the myth that a frozen person would shatter on impact [Music] guys today we're here with our friend nicole and she brought us a video idea so we brought her on to help us test it out nicole what are we doing today well today we're gonna see uh if we can shatter people parts people parts why are we testing this well you know there's there's a lot of ductility in matter and usually the colder something gets the more likely it is to shatter it's brittle and um usually these are things plastics you leave a sled out too long it gets cold it shatters but it's questionable if something like that could happen with fibrous materials like a person here's the basic idea today we're going to be testing out if a frozen person would shatter like you might see in movies we're going to try freezing it in a few different ways and see how much impact it really takes so you were listening to a podcast and that's where some of this idea came from right yeah i had listened to a podcast where they were discussing really how likely is it and how likely is it to occur naturally in the wild if you were just stuck out in the arctic and left to your own devices in the elements could it happen at those temperatures or could it really only happen with supernatural things like myrtle combat sub-zero episodes that's his finishing move yeah he like freezes someone and then shatters it and in the tropes you were talking about in early 90s movies it often happens with liquid nitrogen which you guys obviously have mysterious magical super cold stuff that most people don't really ever get to play with but people who have used it are just like that's not really how that works that's quite so today we're going to be testing that out and we've got a few different types of human analogs a couple kinds of pork and some chicken this right here is a pork hawk it's like part of the leg and i got this because it has bone it has flesh and it actually this is the skin on the outside of it so this is kind of going to simulate a person with bone flesh and skin we then have just some raw chicken and grant has actually done a video where he froze some raw chicken breasts before and he shattered it and then we have pork tenderloin and i got this because it's got all the long fibrous muscle tissue and pork is supposed to be fairly similar to human tissue and i thought this would simulate pretty well just long pieces of muscle so we're going to try all of these and we're going to try freezing them in different ways all right so i want to start with the leaves because that's a really cool way of showing how liquid nitrogen can make things brittle so right now hey like leaves leaves it doesn't really do much but if we put in the liquid nitrogen thank you and that is probably about five seconds right there yep and uh smack it shattered like a person's face in jason x i'm gonna test it by hitting it on that thing here so before very dectile flexible so scraping a little bit of skin off but that's about it so now i'm just gonna try and smack it on the same bar and see if it breaks this time go for it and wow well it didn't shatter into little pieces but it broke it split open bifurcated right nicely so hitting it with a hammer it breaks apart pretty well and it definitely snaps in half nice let's see if it i don't know this stick might just oh splintering bending did not just that just breaks in half easily all the way through the fibers don't stop it so even with fibers it does get to a point where it can just break all the way through but it didn't just shatter from hitting it and i hit it yeah pretty hard on a steel bar well before we get into liquid nitrogen freezing the meat i think i have seen some versions where people were just like stuck in a freezer overnight or something you know then and they froze that way so i have uh each of these types of meat that's just been freezing in a freezer okay overnight and so we can start by trying to smash those and see if that's cold enough that we've lost all that ductility you're talking about let's i'm gonna take one of them and just hit it and then the other one we can hit it with a hammer so i'm just gonna see if anything happens to this kind of cracked in half it didn't crack all the way the fibers were talking about really held onto it there so there's a crack i can oh there you can see some of those fibers yeah especially where the fatty resistant does not want to come apart there we go all right so it took some finagling but i didn't get it apart you want to just hammer blow it onto that one let's go for it hey you broke it all right i wouldn't call it shatter yeah it's more of a smoosh and i also want to show that it broke along the fibers they didn't break across them the fibers are still holding it together and we definitely have directional change here this is one of the hawks so it's a piece of like leg or arm of the pig uh so it's got bone meat and skin on the outside and uh let's just let's just go to the hammer on this one i think that's gonna be the more decisive blow or not i think we have successfully cracked our paver stone there we go all right paver stone cracks and here you can see the impact where the hammer clobbered it okay we successfully broke our paver stone the other direction now it's in quarters but this you know this is getting closer to the thickness of a person as compared to this little fillet of chicken that's half an inch thick at the thickest part whereas this that's not even coming close to shattering but this one this is the pork tenderloin this is just a long strip of mussel and the fibers should be running this direction so i'm curious to see what kind of breakage we can get yeah no bones no skin in this one take a take a good whack it was a dent yeah we marked the surface of it still no shattering unphased all right being in a freezer is not getting this cold enough to shatter when hit by a hammer now it's time we move on to our more extreme cooling methods i think all right that took like a minute or so wow maybe more all right grab your hammer ready go for it so ready so at full frozen liquid nitrogen temperatures the shattering is definitely possible oh yeah especially for a piece of chicken that's only half an inch thick ourselves a smoked ham hock which doesn't want to come out of liquid nitrogen awfully slick okay okay we did it what you broke in half oh i got some shattering you broke it in half not nearly as much as the chicken but it is definitely some shattering and lead is well frozen all the way through the fiber direction does not seem to matter inconsistent it just broke in a glass-like way solid hit like this is still only as thick as like the thin parts on a person like that's not a thigh or anything like that and i don't think i'd have enough strength to break through like a an important like a large part of a person an important part of the important part yeah it's just an ankle those are you know who cares um but yeah that took quite a hit all right who's who's hitting this one with a hammer i think i've done a couple callie i'll hit one with a hammer three two one oh shattered everywhere you heard it like glass and that definitely shattered right across the fibers wow so i gotta say if you manage to freeze a person all the way down to liquid nitrogen temperatures which cannot happen in five seconds uh it took probably five minutes to get this piece but let's say that there's an industrial pool of liquid nitrogen and you fell in it and just oh two days later to lift your body out with a crane and then as they're like oh fell off i do think you would shatter into pieces we have tiny little shrapnel like we have pork dust here and it is just oh so broken people shattering like you see in movies um i mean sub-zero in mortal kombat he clearly has like magic magic supernatural yes so we can just say that maybe his magic attack instantly cools a person all the way down to liquid nitrogen temperatures and then you could shatter them because he's also very good at punching and kicking very cool and what was the name of the podcast again that talked about this um stuff to blow your mind awesome there you go cool podcast idea and nicole thank you for bringing this to us this is awesome anytime just shatter pieces of meat and i hope we didn't hide too much of the visual by putting in bags because i did not want raw pork and chicken flying we still got some something fell out well you wouldn't want that around very cool guys if there's other stuff you want to see us test like this let us know down in the comments guys that's not all you know we've always got more free to see if you like this kind of
