i touch myself to your videos
ok
First
It is? I have to break free
We love backyard scientist😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I was wondering why my mum kept visiting you. Makes sense now
when are you gonna do a thing
I thought this video was yours because of the thumbnail 😂
@@aryapatel1932 He already did
LOL
Dffff
The level of mechanical energy you are playing with here is terrifying. You were quite brave to operate the mega trap from such a close distance lol
I love ur videos Styropyro can’t wait for your next one
Are we sure it's bravery? >:P
ayo
Styro pyro calling someone brave is the ultimate compliment
styro after typing this comment: *has lightning bolts shooting from his fingertips*
As many times as the latch slipped, i became increasingly nervous every time he was standing in the middle of it.
it wasn't loaded when he was standing in the middle.
@@ledocteur7701 define "loaded". For a bead trap, it's set while it's latched open, and loaded when something is placed into it as a lure. Technically, it's set and he "loaded" it with himself
@@chypearce8457his trap could be open while the springs were untensioned making it impossible to harm him while unset
@@chypearce8457a small bear traps tension is used from the act of unclamping it, his tension is springs he compressed with a motor. The claws are free moving when uncompressed
@@chypearce8457obviously big springs are still dangerous regardless being that close. But this is a KZheadr 😂
“The all new Elephant trap! Only 3567$ dollars!”
Hahaha
I'll take your entire stock
When I did my hunter/trapper safety course we had an instructor that stuck his hand in a trap on purpose, it closed on his fingers, and he said with a perfectly calm look on his face "This hurts like hell, but it won't break your bones" and went on to tell a story about how he was setting one and got both his thumbs stuck in one and had to work his way free by himself (trap was staked to the ground)
I got one hand stuck in a medium trap but I diddnt get it on camera 😅
@@TheBackyardScientistholly molly I'd faint
@@TheBackyardScientistOh no… 😮
@backyardscience oh god
@@mamupelu565 it hurt so bad but after a minute it just went numb lol 😬I thought for sure my thumb was broken but It ended up being fine
Can't wait for the giant bear trap experience at next years opensauce
Oh hi makersmuse, wasn’t expecting to see you here lol
Yo I think your videos are really cool and I am thinking about printing your castle test.
Feeling down? Struggling to cope with meaninglessness of life? Come to Opensauce 2024 and end it all in a fun and exciting way!
It'd be like a highest stakes dunk tank!
NO LMAO
1:26 bro litteraly made the cleanest rap
Oh my god your onto something
@@danielgrifo4788 fr
We making it out of the trap with this one.
LMAO
🔥🔥
That was a wild roller-coaster between gripping anxiety and terror, and pure awe and satisfaction
I was yelling at my TV "GET OUTTA THAT F*%#N THING BRO "😂 Very entertaining
I don't even trust my own software to run properly. The amount of faith he has in the safety of his own engineering is crazy to me
They used to call it stupidity
I don't even trust myself to run properly
I dont trust myself walking up the steps without looking at my feet
I don't trust myself at all. Im not confident enough
@@LanguageSigmalol😅
i’m sorry WHAT
Hes on the watchlist, don't worry
I need me one of those,
He made a beartrap that would cut you in half, I think it's fairly straightforward
@@amydoesart3724 I don't know if I should be more or less concerned. 😰
😂😂😂 lol
I love how often you stand inside the trap while it’s down, I know it’s not armed but I know you know what your doing and it’s hilarious.
i love how TheBackyardScientist puts really happy music in the backround and makes a video about something that can kill someone
It's funny how the big trap is illegal to use not because of what it would do to a bear, but what it could do to you and then he makes it even bigger.
No, it's because of what it does to the bear. More generally, all leg-hold traps with teeth are illegal in US because it's more likely that the animal chews or wrings off the caught paw. They just cause unnecessary pain and suffering to the animal, with the possibility of not even actually catching it. Padded and offset leg traps are generally allowed in North America (though mostly not elsewhere in the world) because they're more likely to catch the animal, and because they don't cause permanent harm if for example a wrong animal is caught.
@@Baikoi think he lives in Australia 😅
@@apfelhauer6677who? Kevin lives in Florida
@@apfelhauer6677Kevin is Florida man. Like, it shows
@@apfelhauer6677no, thats i did a thing. Kevin is florida man
I didn't know bear trap content was what I was missing out on. That thing is terrifying lol
love your vids
I know right? That thing is literally meant for giants
Its an anti dragon trap
The top four comments on this video are all big KZhead channels that I've watched before or actively watch now XD
Give me a shout out💀
I don’t like how he’s just casually walking all up in it and around it, even if it’s not set those teeth look SHARP.
That exact "beartrap" you showed at 3:00 is a reproduction model where the springs have been annealed to a level of 2.5%... Had they not been annealed, they would have maintained their 100% compression. Not to mention the fact that teeth on the jaws are fundamentally frowned upon by any true trappers & outdoorsman.. thank God they outlawed the teeth on the trap jaws Nationwide scores of years ago. That being said, badass engineering skills and you gained a subscriber 👍
I thought years ago kevin was the most lighthearted crazy scientist on KZhead but he has quickly become the most menacing
His 5th video was on how to make chloroform. This video is on brand lol
@@TheGIGACapitalistTrue! Kevin is a florida man indeed
he met William
He is u ironically definitely on a list
Kevin hadn’t uploaded in so long I was starting to get worried that he’d died microwaving a microwave or something crazy like that. Turns out he was doing something arguably more dangerous, but at least he’s still okay!
He does videos with William Osman pretty often! ^^
This video has been hinted at on other youtuber's videos for at least a month now.
@@whatbuttondoipush yep, I was wondering why he had so many bear traps to lend William hahaha
@@whatbuttondoipush you’re right it has! I didn’t even realize
also everyone was setting up and then going to opensauce
Dude this is so scary. I'm glad you're okay. Love your videos. Wish you could do this full-time
i love how the last one keeps shooting nuts and bolts every single time it closes
I remember walking through the woods and almost stepping on a bear trap, that was a scary day. But with this one, I would just be cut in half and not have to be scared, very cool.
One second you have life next second you have regrets
I think you’d still be scared, but only for a few minutes
Who knows… maybe you can still live with half a body…
Trappers are assh*les. I had a buddy that used to take his dogs camping with him until one of his dogs stepped in a damn trap and ended up losing its leg. The vet had to amputate it. Cost him a small fortune too.
@@kirbyjoe7484 Maybe don't walk your dogs around a trapline?
"This trap is actually illegal to use" *continues to use it, then make one that 8000 times more powerful*
It’s my understanding that you can legally demonstrate such traps using non-living objects such as a mannequin , you just can’t use them to trap actual animals (or humans) in the wild.
@@Charlesb88 Well you can cut onions with a chef's knife but not people...
@Isnogood12 that's because it would be very hard to cut an onion with a person. They usually don't sit still for long enough.
@@overforest1195Yea, onions never sit still when they know they're about to be cut with a person
New fear unlocked: Standing in a bear trap, unsure if it's going to go off accidentally
I've been scared for his safety in other videos before, but holy crap lol this one was insane. Even though the video was already published it still made me so tense. I was just waiting for the unsprung trap to start slowly closing with him inside it, or for one of those teeth to fly off completely, or for him to absolutely mangle his leg while stepping in or out of it, or for some shrapnel of whatever he was shredding to cut someone up, or for the entire machine to explode, sending metal and teeth and parts and coil springs flying everywhere, etc. etc... lol. That being said, I'm still so glad that people are out there making weird and wacky stuff like this and sharing it for the world to see. Now, thanks to TheBackyardScientist, next time I encounter a problem in my life in which building my own incredibly over-sized and over-powered bear trap is the only solution, I'll already know exactly what NOT to do in every situation!
12:37 I f**king knew it
they really gen alpha’d up backyardscientist 😔
@@alecboi777it’s only for one time
@@alecboi777I’m almost certain he did it ironically
@@Im-guyi hope
I expected it the second i saw the toilet.
9:33 "a bolt just flew right by my head!" "Yeah but look at this bone though" 😂😂😂
FR
Imagine your boss responding like that
I love the William cameos in Kevin's videos and the Kevin cameos in William's
I didn't know I needed this video. Well done!
5 months, and it was worth the wait for a giant bear trap
yo mama jeo mama ?? yo mama like this show??
This is by far the most terrifying thing you have made yet. I'm surprised you made it through the whole video without anyone losing body part.
The megalaser of doom still feels more dangerous to me...
thanks for the spoiler jerk
I want to see an episode similar to this. From the movie 13 Ghosts, when the guy gets cut veritcally in half by a glass wall the comes down from the ceiling and one side of the body slides down and shows the other side of the body stuck on the other side of the glass! Wonder how strong and fast the glass would need to be to get those results...
Well it is edited , and we haven't seen a full picture of unhurt staff at the end at the video so...
@@MrSeanman30 strangely, this is the second time I've seen/heard that movie mentioned today, and I haven't even watched any horror-themed videos
Who needs bear traps when you have... ELEPHANT TRAP
13:45 Mechanical devices often need lubrication!
The fact that he keeps going even after noticing nuts and bolts flying off the teeth is insane. There’s only 2 bolts holding each tooth in place, and their trajectory is directly horizontal with the people standing around the bear trap.
he lives in Florida
Yeah the lack of regard for safety is scary. I really hope no one gets hurt in any of his future videos.
@@ZombifreekLol so scary oh no. Everyone should instead sit in padded rooms while wearing bubble suits to make sure no one gets hurt!
@@93rwolfeither you’re a redditor or a really bad ragebaiter
@@93rwolfI thunk there is some wiggle room between bubble suits and whatever this is.
That gleeful “it cut it in half! It cut it in half!” at 13:51 is so pure and beautiful 😭
the little skrunkly man :)
The design is very human
You need to upload more video's man! I am happy everytime a see a video.
Immagine breaking into this dudes house. Getting reeled in by an automated spear gun, getting your head trapped by a bear trap, and then getting melted by a flordia man with a crackhead lazer gun
He is low-key the radio man from fallout
1:25 My man starts spitting bars!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

need a rap knishes edit
I didn't even realise lmao
@@astrospeedcuberI didn’t even realize it either
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love how casually he just stands in the middle of these literal jaws of death while trying to see how mangled the things, which he literally just watched the bear trap absolutely obliterate, fully were.
It's not armed when he's in there. Just because the jaws are open doesn't mean it's armed he has to compress the springs first
I mean it's always unarmed when he does that.
@@Empty_Stringit isint dangerous until the springs are armed
I’m not going to be surprised if you randomly stop uploading, this is stupidly dangerous, at least make a Shield I BEG
Agreed
You just know its gonna be a good backyard scientist video when he's done building the giant murder machine before the halfway mark
You know that level of safety measures would never pass on mythbusters. You are insane to have done what you did.
But unlike mythbusters, Kevin is still making videos 😉
Myth who?
@@donaldhoot7741 you uncultured S W I N E do you not know the greatness of the one and only myth-busters? They are the same people who proved if you throw a wrench before you dive into water it does not break the surface tension!! You rapscallion! /j
I’m myth busting 😫
If there was only Adam Savage working on the experiments alone, you'd expect this sort of thing from him. Luckily for him, Jamie Heineman had a hand in the experiments, pushing for safety on the set.
If I read his titles in my notification, I just say *"Of course you did."*
Well my said he just posted a video 😅
Was not ready for the mom sitting joke. Brutal. lol!!!!!
This is something that you would expect to find in monster hunter for things like elder dragons
Well done Kevin!
Fancy seeing you here!
This vid bringing all my favorite creators together
Truly entertaining!
hi
Good thing it never snapped while his limbs were in the danger zone.
How is no one talking about how absurdly hilarious the Rat gun is??
it looks straight out of a cartoon or something
the your mom jokes were the cherry on top of this awesome video haha
i love that this has attracted all the insane engineers and scientists of youtube
I know the springs are relaxed and have to be tensioned using the hydraulics, but every time you step into that trap as it lies flat I want to scream! That old style "only for display use" trap was scary enough for me.
You should totally test this with one of those ballistic gel dolls that have fake organs and bones in them. I'm really curious to how brutal that would be.
Something Something demonatized
@@Aurora-mq8phsome of them are filled with green blood instead
After seeing it slice through 3 cinderblocks at once youre still curious? This thing could clean slice through a human like butter at 25% strength with zero problem

8:30 how dare you, why lifeline?
the fact this guy keeps standing in the bear trap even after knowing it can go off by itself is insane

The 'your mom' joke was despicably flawless 😂
the way he feels perfectly comfortable standing in the jaws like, even when it's not set that's still TERRIFYING 💀💀

"I made a giant bear trap that I partly arm by putting my arm inside of it." Never change.

2:07 the soda explosion jump scared me 😂
Kevin's truck being full of bear traps in William's plane video makes a lot more sense now. I mean it wasn't really unexpected then, but at least now there's a reason lol.
13:03 you can see sparks coming off the teeth as it scrapes the toilet
I love the person's reaction to you saying the pumkin costed 70 dolars
Gotta say, I feel like I deserve at least a little bit of credit for this build, considering how much my mom helped you out with it.
14:09 that is the look of him realizing what would have happened to him if the trap went off any of the times he was inside of it
I doubt it was armed when he was inside
5:41 your m-

it's insane to me that he went through all that fabrication, and his choice of activation method is throwing LOGS and BRICKS at it 😂😂😂 his goals are beyond my understanding.
I’m starting to realize why I am getting a mechanical engineering technology degree. It’s because of guys like back yard scientist, Micheal reeves Willy osman, styro pyro, etc. The ability to create such chaotic neutrals through engineering is the kind of thing that really scratches my brain. I remember watching these guys as a kid/ teenager and wanting to be just like them lol.
never give up man! you'll make a great engineer if you love these guys
@@-dennis3755Being good at math helps too
I'm so glad youtube also influenced your carrier choices, I would've never been an artist if it wasn't for GinjaNinjaOwO or Scootalo Loves Sans(or Synnibear03) The artist and animation community, as cringe as it was back in the day, always kept me motivated to create! And I'm glad I'm not the only one:)!
@@DkpProductionsI'll be honest, I absolutely suck at math. Everyone told me I would need math to learn programming. Yet here I am, as a senior react developer. Sometimes the interests you have is all you need ☺️
If by "getting" you mean that you are in the process of obtaining one. I.e. actually in college for it right now. Shouldn't that be a thing you _started_ to realize some time ago? I mean, if you were in an engineering program before you started to realize why you were there... I would humbly suggest that you might be in the wrong place.
Honestly out of all these videos this one had me the most nervous for you guys. Especially with the electricity from the TV. I always tell myself tho. It wouldn’t be uploaded if something happened ❤️🤷🏻♀️ stay safe ❤️❤️❤️
When it comes to this guy and danger, they are the best duo.
I would also like to add that alot of modern animal traps are designed to not harm but only trap an animal walking on it. These specialty ones and real old ones are scary dangerous.
No, modern traps are designed to KILL the animal instead of injuring it. It would be hella dangerous to catch a wild animal alive in a trap and then go in to kill it yourself. Maybe talk to a trapper before commenting?
@Isnogood12 Im sure there are ones meant to kill, but there are alot of "live traps" used just to capture and relocate wild animals. These are especially helpful for smaller animals, but they do make them for bears, wolves, and mountain cats.
@@Isnogood12 Maybe *you* should talk to a trapper before commenting?
@@Isnogood12 No, modern traps are designed to not harm animals. The offset ones he was showing are made not to close all the way to ensure that nothing is broken or damaged in case you catch a species that is not in season or that you did not intend to catch, so you can release the animal without being injured.
@@Nick-sx6jm newer ones have different latch designed and everything. The most common humane ones have teeth with nearly a 2.5" gap between. I've seen them catch coyotes and not even leave a bruise.
I love how the trap is so powerful that pieces of it fly off every time it closes.
And he stands directly behind it lmao. Most of the time one side of the jaws would hit the object first and then otherside would have a delayed hit. Could've easily had shards of cement or porcelain mess him up
@@MrSeanman30 This guy was seriously playing with his life here. If you watch the slow mo you see all the bolts come off. Incredibly dangerous
The whole “I just brought them to your moms house and she sat on them.” Gained you a subscriber. Great work!😂
0:08 bro risked his life putting pressure on the big boy
the bear trap wasnt loaded
The ballistics gel test would have been better with a partial skeleton included. I learned this from MythBusters. I'm guessing it's a lot trickier to construct, though... keeping the bones in place while adding the gel... but I know far less about ballistics gel than I do about bear traps, thanks to growing up as the son of a hunter and trapper.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The full anatomically correct are over a thousand bucks each. Obviously, you could make them cheaper, but still takes time and money
Or just use a pig carcass ^^ That's what MythBusters often did anyway. I think the one where they shot it with a chain from a cannon was the most impressive.
@willemm9356 that works too but I can see people complaining about using a pig carcass lol.
There's multiple companies that actually do head and body ballistic gel dummies with a very close replica to bone material plus organs and blood etc! Lot of the gun channels use them for ammo testing and "What it's" lmao especially Kentucky ballistics but one of those would of looked awesome in this video
@jackthemagiccat4571 again, they are expensive. The Gun channels have them as sponsors, so free dummies and heavily discounted ones. Maybe if he bought and used them on the channel then he could maybe get them to sponsor or donate dummies.
Love all your videos, this one was legitimately scary to watch though.
came for the large bear trap stayed for the beer trap
I wish you would’ve been a bit more honest. There’s videos of trappers putting their hands in spring traps, they don’t break bones, they done break skin, they don’t even hurt. Spring traps are designed to hold whatever’s trapped there. It’s uncomfortable but not painful. The damage you might think you’ve seen, come from animals struggling and fighting to break free with their teeth.
3:20 didn’t have to do us like that man
😭
💀
💀nah
This content is why I subscribed 6 years ago on my honeymoon. Unlike my marriage, Kevin still brings me joy.
bro went from making green fire in 3d (his first video) to making a bear trap that can cut you in half
2:04 that scared me and closed my right eye only once also the same thing scared me once, now I get so used to it I don’t get scared or close any eye
Every time he triggers that trap, an insurance adjustor somewhere snaps awake and says "Something is very wrong!"
"I felt a disturbance in the force as a familiar policy holders cried out in pain and then but suddenly silenced..."
My uncle lived in Alaska for decades and was an avid hunter. He drove to Missouri once just for fun. He brought some fun toys for us. Left a real bear trap with jaws just like on TV. They had been outlawed in Alaska. Everyone thought it was cool as hell till it cut a broom handle in half. And then a hammer handle. My dad hid that thing somewhere and ony HE knew. My brother's an I looked for it for years. My dad was pretty smart... lol
12:05 So you just made reusable and undigestible Mentos.
He keeps talking about how it's going off on its own and then he proceeds to stand directly in the middle of the trap afterward every time. My anxiety is palpable.
Imagine being a thief and walking into a trap that does this to you
Wrong house! 😂
Only in Florida
Why would I want to imagine myself being chopped in half? No thanks.
I mean this with concern, please get some ballistic glass shields. You can even put them on wheels. I like this channel. It only takes one accident to permanently change your life.
Lots of high energy projectiles, close proximity and no protection. Darwin Awards could have a new participant.
@@leybraith3561 He's been nominated for the award for countless years, never managed to win it though. Maybe next year.
"The soda was too easy, so now we're gonna try toilet" That's a first for a sentence
Kevin, you made a trap straight out of saw.
Ah yes, i love it when kevin creates devices that are definitely war crimes
At this point, it's like he's trying to get on all the government lists, not just a few.
Man one of those spikes could have gone off if you didnt notice any bolts fly off, it was making me so nervous lmao. With you and everyone right in the direction they would fly off
Definitely want to see this in a movie now
The number of bolts and washers that went flying off that trap with every shot was terrifying to watch the longer it went on 😅
Loved the "your mom" jokes, and also how Will just left once the bolts started flying Quite smart, as less people means less probability of someone standing in the course of a stray bear-trap launched bolt
You know it's scary when William Osman is cowering half a yards length away. 10:09
The ammount of mom jokes in this video is crazy.
