Re: Reader Says Mythbusters Missed on Hammer Strikes

I have seen "Mythbusters" on several occasions. Once in a while the're right, but as danhoover wrote, far from the point.
They said a bullet fired straight into the air couldn't hurt anybody, yet the same show interviewd a surgeon that has treated at least one such case.
Will there be chips when two hardened surfaces are struck together? Oh Hell yes! I still have the chunk of chisel in my lower abdomen from striking a hardend bearing race with the chisel with out heating the race to soften it first. There is always the possiblity of chips even when one surface is softer material. When it comes to safety, think 3 or 4 times first.
