      I mean, Kevin is a child. He doesn't have the ability to realize how badly his traps can hurt someone. Nearly every trap he builds would have been fatal in real life, some stupidly so. The *one hundred-pound* bag of cement to the head would have completely crushed Harry's head, if not just crushed him into a misshapen mess of bone and meat on the floor. Horrifying.

      You probably would get at least a concussion from falling backwards down the stairs, but hey at least the can would only break your nose, jaw and crack your skull instead of ripping open your neck and breaking your spine. You are VERY heavy compared to the paintcan. Every speed you pick up because of the paintcan makes the paintcan multiple times slower. You DEFINITELY have to go to the hospital after that but it is absolutely survivable.

    Well, two notes on these experiments: yeah, the heater thing checks out just fine (it's obvious it won't work the way it "did" in the movie), but for the crowbar and the paint bucket you neglected two significant factors.
    First the paint bucket: both Harry and Marv have been knocked backwards by the force of the paint bucket, which implied that the collision was almost completely elastic i.e. the kinetic energy of the bucket has been transferred to the burglars i.e. knocked them over, whereas the dummy with the ballistic gel seems to have been affixed to the stairs specifically to avoid that, thus making the results somewhat irrelevant.
    The other thing is the crowbar: yeah, it's heavy and yeah, it can be deadly, but Harry has been hit with full winter clothes on (i.e. at least a shirt, a sweatshirt and maybe an undershirt too) that dampens the force of the crowbar A LOT, not with bare skin. Once again, a helluva difference.

    The paint cans in the movie were used ones he found in the garage or basement. We should consider the paint cans were at least a quarter to half used, meaning they would be much lighter. This would still be painful, but not as damaging as your test suggests. With the crowbar to the chest, your test did not address the layers of clothing he was wearing. With a thick coat and sweater there would be some protection for the ribs.

      Well actually if you are defending yourself from people IN your home you have the right to do what is necessary to keep you safe that includes if you kill them for example if they are chasing you will a crowbar and you shot them and they die it would be marked as self defense most likely with no jail time at all, although if they don't enter the house and are just on you property that would be a different story. But it depends on the state you are in if you would be tried in juvenile court or not, also it depends on the circumstances whether or not you are dismissed for self defense or not, also depending on if you were charged the circumstances would also take part in how long you would go to jail.
