SEGMENT SYNOPSIS

EPISODE #6: BODY MECHANICS

This episode comes with a don't-do-this-at-home warning for good reason! Elisha tries break-dancing and finds out if she can do those dangerous head stands while turning her entire body upside down.

Vanessa catches up with an orthopedic surgeon and figures out how broken bones are set back into place. She'll actually break the femur bone on a human skeleton and then assist the doctor as he sets that bone back into place. Not for the faint of heart, bone surgery can get pretty gruesome!

Tyler pits himself against some of the toughest athletes in the world when he joins a grueling triathlon race. First, he'll put on his wet suit and head down to the lake to try and swim 2 kilometers. Then he'll leap out of the water and jump on his bike for the second leg of the race which will take him a whopping 55 kilometers. If he's got any energy left, he'll rack his bike, put on his sneakers and join the other runners as they head for the finish line after jogging for 15 kilometers. Will he make it? Does he have the stamina to keep up with the pros or will he have to crawl into the medical tent for some emergency help?

Charlie shows us how to do some pretty dangerous stuff this week. He'll teach us how to walk on hot coals, take a nap on a bed of nails and break a piece of wood with just bare hands! We told you not to try this stuff at home!
