Most humans would be paralyzed by fear when faced with such danger, but can Steve truly demonstrate the dexterity and ultimate body control needed to escape these life threatening situations unharmed?
For the sake of training law enforcement officers on how to respond to serious road traffic accidents, Rusty Haight puts his life on the line by crashing the cars himself --- surviving over 1,000 car crashes so far.

In order to capture this amazing feat on screen, the program used one of the world's most sophisticated high-speed cameras for slow motion analysis. Seeing really is believing!
Finally, Dr. Norman Gary has a very unique ability - he can control an entire swarm of hundreds of thousands of bees!
