plot twist: he knew not pulling the cable taught would get people mad, so he can get 2 videos out of the same idea xD
Yeah
What is the world are you doing here thirtyvirus? Also that's a interesting theory
WHAT THE HELL I LITERALLY JUST WATCHED YOUR NEW VID WHY ARE YOU HERE!!!!!

I would not have expected thirty to be here lol
Fun Fact: The inventor of elevator safety latches was so confident in his design that he stood in an elevator as his assistant cut the rope. The second the elevators weight wasn't pressing down on the spring locks they shot out and stopped the elevator. No one trusted elevators before that. After his demonstration, elevators started being built in basically every tall building.
What a fuckin chad. Same energy as the guy who invented bullet proof vests testing his product while wearing it.
That is a fun fact 😎
@@Aodhan_Raith or the bulletproof glass guy
Was gonna say, even if you sever the cable it's not going to drop the elevator because of the latches. You explained it better than I would have.
For anyone curious, the mans name was
Elisha Otis. You can see a drawing of his freefall demonstration from 1853 on Wikipedia.
I can't believe he went through all the trouble to put tension on the cable, but then invalidated the test by spray-painting it blue. Everyone knows blue is the second most bullet-resistant color.
What’s the first?

Same here. Every time he stood by that cable 😰
panzy
@@TannerCh He said that the cable might snap and cut him in half but looking at it how it actually snapped it doesn't look that dangerous since it looks like the cable just unravels into individual steel cables but it doesn't suddenly snap and go everywhere.
@@januszkurahenowski2860 I think its mostly, cuz it didnt snap instantly, like it unraveled little by little you can see it in the slow mo like it broke apart into pieces, or there just wasn't enough tension to make it go flying everywhere.

Sounds like DOOM.
made me so nervous when you walked up to that without breaking tension lol. stay safe brotha
Yeah people get eviscerated by tensioned cables. Shit is nasty.
It's honestly a miracle that Matt hasn't died from shit like this yet, if that cable snapped while he's touching it, it would cut him clean in half. These videos are going to end one day and we'll all know why.
posted the same above, its a one inch, so rated way above what he put on it, but the flemish splices, the chanin and then walking up after he shot it each time.....shit could of gone real bad real quick
extreme pucker factor
I was scared for him lol
My anxiety peaked when he compromised the integrity of the cable by shooting it and walked up to it without giving it some slack. 😂. You mad-lad
Yeah after hitting it with that 50. Cal i was tilting my phone away when he walked up to it. And the guy is standing neck-height half a foot away from it 😅
How could it move after breaking? Looks like it just unravels into individual thinner cables instead of snapping very aggressively and going all over the place
I don’t know. Where would the cable possibly go that could be dangerous? It has to move towards the tension. I saw no actual danger except when he went near the winch.
@@inthefadeit wouldn't travel straight, it'd whip around
Just casually walking up to a frayed cable under tension. His insurance agent silently crying.
Dude, I was gonna comment on this myself. Scares the shit outta me!
Honestly, as seen from the cable breaking, that cable wasn't under a whole lot of tension. You have to understand that when he turns the winch off, everything relaxes and a vast majority of the tension is alleviated, as the truck didn't stay still, it slid a little bit. That's why he was still able to push the cable. On an elevator, the elevator cart is always hanging, being pulled on by gravity. To really get it under tension he'd have to be winching on the cable while shooting. Then when the cable snapped, it would go flying, just like when you pull a tree stump out of the ground with your car, the stump goes flying.
He really was at no risk of injury when he inspected the cable.
Or laughing
@@nathan1sixteen you can see in the video when it broke it didn’t all break at once, there was one strand still holding for a bit, which allowed most or all of the tension to be released without it either end whipping around even though it was under tension. You are right that it wasn’t under the full 18k he mentioned but it would still be a lot
@@nathan1sixteen The reason the cable didn't snap is because he had already shot it several times. All the separate places it was already cut absorbed a lot of the shock. If you look at the video, it is more of an unraveling once the last places that were holding tension were cut.
Matt: "If I get cut in half, be sure to like, comment and subscribe so my family can have some money"
The camera guy: *stands right next to the cable*
In your universe how cables brake ?
@@Boold198891 r u dumb they will and can break
@@Boold198891 I think most people expected the cable to go flying in all direction even Matt said he was expecting it to do that
Force was being input at the other end and will fail there. Force will have mainly dissipated by the time it gets to camera man, plus there is a tree in the way. Even still, I would not stand there lol.
Was about to comment this
Three shots, three hits. That's why I love my 1911. Great video, and awesome shooting, Matt!
No one puts as much commitment into an intro so cool
Man, watching you crank that steel cable tight gave me some anxiety. My grandad ran a wrecker service for most of his life, often times pulling 18-wheelers out of ditches, so the wrecker was huge and the steel cables attached were huge. On one of his calls with multiple overturned trucks, a fellow wrecking company was helping and on one of their trucks, one of the cables snapped, whipped around and nearly cut a worker in half. He died. My grandad never fully got over it. Had nightmares about it for years. Anytime I'd go on a wrecker call with him, once they started the actual pulling, he'd have me sit in the cab, or at least get behind the truck away from the tension area to keep me safe.
That’s common sense though… I’ve never stood remotely close to cables for that reason
I was terrified watching this video. A broken windshield is where my worries began, then i remembered that scene from Ghost Ship.
@@dogishappy0 Good movie, but yes that is about what it would do.
It could/should have been tighter. I didn't hear the sound of the laser blasters.
My dad was in the Coast Guard and told me about that incident during Katrina, one of the cables attached to their ship snapped, my dad felt the swoop behind his neck, turned around and one of his colleague has his head cut off, they never found it. Your story reminded me of that and also that haunting scene from Ghost Ship.
Matt in a couple of weeks;
"I bought an elevator"
most people would make do with wearing lifts
Ahaha I actually hope this happens. It would be the ultimate saga
Don't tell Mere!
I have to say, while i’m not a frequent watcher of demo ranch, i have to respect the safety measures yall take.
I never knew you made this vid, and after watching you tension that cable and walk up and smack it im glad youre still with us. Good thing the flemish splice was done right and held, and the WLL of that single cable was enough to hold that pull. This is someone coming from working with rigging his whole life and made a career of lifting things with cranes in industrial construction, if you ever do this again, get a snap back blanket to put on the winch line and chain as you tighten the winch and then have ropes tied to them and pull them off when youre way back from the radius of the cables if they were to let go, just dont want anything to happen to you
if you watch the Matrix closely when he shot the "cable" he actually shot the bracket that holds the cable.....gotta shoot an elevator cable bracket now lol.
If I'm right, it took 2 shots as well
Correctly noticed. Now we are waiting for the third episode.😂
He also said "there is no spoon" ergo, No elevator cable or bracket lol
It was also almost point blank
that was my first thought ahah
I'm telling you that we need a demo/SlowMo Guys collaboration

I Appreciate what you are doing and taking so much risk so that we at home can enjoy your content, I sure hope you take all the safety measures to keep your self safe. Even though it's a huge risk what you did in this video. Cable are in general very difficult and chaotic to Deal with.
Thanks and much Appreciated !
always happy to see falkor petra, my fav gun in this channel
This might be the first video where I genuinely feared for his life.
Completely! Kept seeing that video when the crane cable snapped and tore all those people in mecca.
@@TaylorLiam87 it's different, in that video they put too much weight on the cable. meaning it was a tension snap. when hes shooting the cable, the force is concentrated on a specific point, allowing the different strands(????) of the metal wire to release tension individually. it wouldnt be a tension snap because its just cutting through the wire and slowly releasing tension as they break compared to if there was an absurd amount of weight that pulled the wire apart completely
@@cosplash9754 speak english pls
i just say to myself, "if video was uploaded, he is ok"
@@justavideo6324 It was pretty clear to me.
The expression of disappointment on Matt's voice while saying "It just fell!?" was priceless.
Because it wasn't very tight...
@@IceBergGeo Also it didn't get cut cleanly. It got cut partially in several places and had to unravel itself to actually get free. It released its tension slowly as it unraveled. It would have been very different if it had been cut cleanly in one go, but that is virtually impossible as the cable is so much thicker than the projectiles he's using. He should repeat this test with a 20mm. :)
@@edifyguy definitely right about the lack of a clean cut. But, with having a static load, once a bit of the tension has been released, there is nothing other than the weight of the cable giving it tension. If there was a spring on it, or a pulley system and a hanging weight, it would have failed much more catastrophically. Hopefully he will milk this for one more episode and do something like that. (winch pulling up the front of the 5 ton, or something of the like.)
@@IceBergGeo Haha, that could be really fun :) Although you're only partially right about the static load. The cable itself has a bit of spring to it, and it had been sprung quite a bit, as evidenced by how far apart the two sides were after separating. Of course, a load like you propose would have been much more spectacular for the reasons you stated.
Vertical is easy. Just loop the cable over a tree branch & hoist until the 5ton wheels are an inch off the ground.
This also provides the tree trunk as an additional backstop.
Wisdom of a bush mechanic!
Matt getting so close to it right after the .50 hit especially was nerve wrecking

First of all. Y'all are bananas for standing next to that thing under tension and fraying.
Appreciate the effort but that cable still had a long ways to go before being anywhere near 18000 pounds of tension
dang recent comment
Indeed, I don't think that tree would hold nearly that
If you’re going to do the experiment…get the equipment! A tension scale would be the right thing to put between the tree and the truck to measure the compression load.
Gotta love static friction
Alternate title: Matt tries to one up KY Ballistics.
Matt: "Do you know how hard it is to put tension on stuffs?"
Teachers: "Pathetic"
This video really just shows you how good your aim is
Theoretically, it wasn’t on full tension. The truck was only moving that much because it was on dry dirt. You’d have to try a lot harder to sway the cable under full capacity tension where in this it swayed relatively easily using your arm. Guess you gotta do it again with the same setup, but with something holding the truck in place 🤷🏼♂️
The cable was taut, but barely under any tension at all. It WAS under some tension while the winch was running and pulling the truck (not nearly 18000lbs, but significant tension for sure). Once the winch is stopped, the truck rests in its final position, and the ONLY force acting on the cable is its own spring force, due to it being slightly stretched. There is no force pulling on it from either end. This is why he was able to move it so easily with his hand. A cable under even 2000lbs of tension (let alone 18000, LOL) cannot be moved with your hand like that, because it would mean you lifting all that weight with one hand (by moving the cable sideways, you are contracting the distance between the two ends, pulling one of them in). So this video was actually pretty safe. The most dangerous moment was winching the damaged cable.
When you finally put one of these cables under full tension, you may want to up your safety game.
“That was it? It just fell?”

Ghost Ship style
Dude he was freaking crazy to walk up to that damaged cable with all that tension on it. Has he ever seen ghost ship lol
You do realize that when the truck is standing still, cable is not tensioned by truck's weight, don't you? The only force applied to the cable at this point is its own weight.
@@konstantin88181 It is still under tension but nowhere near the 18,000 pounds it is supposed to be, that would take a much heavier object than that truck.
The cable: *Omae wa mou shinderu*
Matt: *Nani ?*
“Oh I can’t even get them close” while there’s 18,000lbs of force between the cables lol. Love the effort Matt. Absolutely phenomenal video my man.

@@marcschaeffer1584 same
"Hey Matt, the next one needs to be hung up and down because there are different forces...." 🤣😂
I don’t think there is nearly 18000 lbs of tension on the cable. Just because the truck started sliding doesn’t mean the 20000 lb truck was resisting with its full weight. Think of the truck on a greased plate. The winch would pull it much easier than the weight of the truck. Also the cable moves too easily to be under thousands of lbs of tension.
Just anchor the top to a cliff and winch the 5 ton up. 😄
yup very little force or tension
You could use some kind of roller
The cable had a couple hundred pounds of tension at best. He needs a scale attached in the middle to verify force.
Y'know, that ending notwithstanding, I was thinking this whole video, "If only he had some way to tension it vertically. Then it would be a lot easier to hit."
Absolutely love this, however I've Installed elevator cables my whole career and although very similar elevator cables have a hemp rope core.

Ghost Ship moment????
1:40 you don’t even need that stuff. You already have the best home security system: guns.
Just your intros are worth the price of admission!
In most movies that show the elevator being shot by a handgun, they're typically shooting the emergency brake that's holding cable from free spooling. But some dumb movies do show the cable being shot, so I'll have to agree with Matt on some level 😂
Another fun vid idea! Shoot a elevator brake!!!
Yeah but elevators have a break system so that they don't fall all the way down! They stop... eventually! 🤔🇺🇸
I cant agree, cause in matrix he shoots the metal holding for the cable, not the cable itself.... not that a 9 mil can break a cable attachment of 4cm thick steel but...xD
The brakes are on the elevator itself running on rails going along the sides of the shaft.
@@Neo1the1One that's what I'm saying lol. Some movies do it right, some just go way over the top with bad logic haha
Judging by the sway in the cable, it definitely was not anywhere near 18k lbs of tension and most likely nowhere near the max load limit on it but it was for sure a better test than the original
I agree. Theres no way it's that much. At the most it's the amount of friction the rear tires give
its barely enough to hold the cable. which makes sense, the truck weights 18k itself, but on weels. without the breaks a human could pull that, now you need only overcome the breaks on dirt. if i had to geuss somewhere between 1000-2000 pounds but i tend more towards the lower end
the tree might b swaying
@@crustycritters6148 when he grabs the cable is when it really starts moving. He grabs it and kinda shakes it and it moves very easily whereas if it was at full tension it'd be like trying to make a brick wall wiggle
Very true.
So glad to see you try this under tension

I should introduce you to my 12 gauge 😁😁
When it cut half the cables, those cables were no longer under tension, so I imagine the .50 could potentially cut clean through in one shot! Overall, though, really surprising and interesting!
Im just here for the 50cal..love it!!
I’d say there is about 2-4000 lbs of tension on cable, u wana max out cable tension, park truck behind tree so push bar is up against tree and then max wench out
Was thinking the same thing, having it slide forward a bit it NOT even close to full weight of the truck.
You could tell the cable was nowhere near max tension with how much play was in it when he moved it back and forth with his hand. A max tension cable would not move if you tried pushing on it.
@@Mouse231 also, actual max tension would have pulled that little tree into outer space
Perhaps he'll do a third cable video :)
You're right, but man, that's potentially damaging to tree and truck...and would be fun to watch.
"Shooting steel and not really confident where the bullets are gonna go" I would be far more worried about how the cable is gonna snap and fling.
It wasnt at full tension because the truck is less than 6t or 7t and the winch pulled less than it could because the truck's wheels slid.
But in the end it turned out safe

@@Revishnov I’d be more worried about a single thread snapping and hitting you. It wouldn’t cut you in half, but it sure as hell would hurt.
@@tyler1107 Wouldnt cut you in half but could have it pierce you for one. But if you watch the one thread in the video the don't really do that they are spiraled and if one comes undone would spiral. And if it all goes at once the ends go straight back to mounting points. To avoid damage while using chains and cables when pulling fram in autobody we put blankets ontop of them around the middle so if broke the blanket actually takes the blow and the cable or chain shoots into the blanket and ravels up in a ball stopping it.
Former pilot and I was fortunate to have been around and flown in some WW2 bombers like the B-17/B-25 and the B-29. One story I kept hearing from veterans who flew them said that during the long flights many would take grease and grease up the control cables that ran from the cockpit, along the inside fuselage to for example the tail. Idea being a bullet would hit and "slide off" rather than nick it. None knew if it did helped but sitting miles up anything that MIGHT help they tried.
approaching a cable under tension after you gave it bullet damage is really smart!

@@lanasmith4795 Gavin and Dan have done stuff with firearms as well as with Destin from Smarter Everyday. I can't speak to his affinity to firearms, but I bet that if there is some really good content, Gavin could be persuaded.
I've commented this like a billion times man!!!
Great job on the safety protocol. Sometimes is may seem cheesy and thats true. Still the smart move.,.
Hey Matt you said your self at the end of the video, the friction of the tires in dirt pulling at a tree would only give a small fraction of the pull. Maybe 2k-5k, please do another video and chain the back to a large tree near the base and then hook the wench to a second tree. Then pull the sucker till she really grunts. Then you will have ur near pulling capacity. And u will actually see the cable snap back for reals. Also you had me looking away while u were standing by the half chewed up cable. Even under they tension it could harm u if it suddenly snapped. Great video and I love your work, I'm still watching old videos every day. Keep it up
12:30 Shoutout to the camera man that dares to stand so close!
Just a heads up, When you want to shoot such a small target as a cable, putting a piece of cardboard behind it, as a witness panel, helps greatly in quickly finding your point of impact to make adjustments. Have a great weekend Matt.
These intros are legendary! Laughed so hard at most of them.
Hey bro could you please do a part 3 or “III” and I love all content I have been watching so far and I love that there is always going to be something new and different and all ways funny,exciting, and even more so interesting as well as enjoyable and entertaining there’s always a new lesson in every aspect of every video you make.

That "fan" looked like a gym shark athlete (minus being on gear)

I swear to god, 90% of Matt's guns aren't even sighted in; he just Kentucky windages everything.
It would take forever to sight them all in 😂
most likely correct
You can have a rifle sighted in at 100 yards but at 37 yards it's not going to be on. Your dealing with throwing very accurate and very fast rocks so you are going to have up and down at different ranges. Up and down a inch is going to be hard to get
This is impressive shooting to get on the first try. I kindof doubt this was first try but also he's been shooting stuff like this for a decade so also wouldn't be surprised if he's got that sorted.
@@saltysaty8686 Sir, it was a joke; I know how rifle sighting works.
He has Peterson Armory come out ever month and sight his guns.
For future videos, you can attach a pulley to the ground via buried and bent rebar. then one in a tree, that way you can hang things and shoot them easier like ropes, chains, cables, boxes (Pinatas), potatoes, maybe tires or something you want to spin for targets.
