# Mythbusters: Buster's Replacement?

For those of you who are addicted to the mayhem and destruction of [Mythbusters](http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/mythbusters.html), [Buster](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters#Buster) is a beloved, if unfortunate, member of the cast.

Well, Buster may be out of a job.

Apparently, a guy in Minneapolis managed to prove not one, but two myths in a single 10-12 second period [[here](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6284061.stm)]. Namely:

1. A person can break through a piece of tempered plate glass with a single impact, thereby exiting the building above ground-level
2. An awning can slow a person's a 17-storey fall enough to prevent said individual from being killed after exiting the building through a broken window (See #1 above).

[Mr. Savage](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Savage) and [Mr. Hyneman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Hyneman), give this damn lucky person an award!
