🏃‍♂️💦 Can a Human Actually RUN on Water?

Ajouté : 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]They say you can run right across water using a special technique. The Mythbusters decided to test if this is physically possible. Please do not try this at home. In a viral video, a guy sprints straight across a lake. First, Adam strapped on a pair of water repellent shoes. He took a running start and charged directly into the lake.

[00:00:15]Spoiler alert, he sank to the bottom like a rock. Adam wasn't fast enough to stay on top. They needed serious speed, so they called in backup. The crew brought in a professional Olympic champion sprinter. He blasted off the shore, accelerating with incredible force. But despite his insane power, he went under almost instantly. Human speed alone just cannot beat the laws of physics. So the team turned to nature for a crazy solution. They found inspiration in the bassilisk lizard, which actually runs on water. Adam went to the shop and built a ridiculous custom lizard costume. It featured giant slapshoes and a massive heavy tail. To give the myth maximum chances, they hired a lightweight gymnast. Her light weight in the large contact area might actually help her sprint across the water.

[00:00:54]>> 3 2 1 go. You can do it. YES. YES. YES.
