Indiana Jones is BACK for one last ride in the Dial of Destiny! But one question that’s been on our minds is whether Harrison Ford would have ACTUALLY survived all of Indie’s wild adventures… but more specifically whether he would survive the infamous fridge scene. You know, the one where Indiana Jones survives a literal nuclear explosion by hiding in a refrigerator?! Put on your hats and grab your whips because today it’s finally time to put the question to rest.

It's possible that the "holy grail" was actually a Fountain of Youth-type of drink that could keep Indi young. It's also plausible that the drink was not actually something that could keep Indi young, but that it instead healed him or saved him from a life-threatening situation.

@rebelgaming1.5.14 10 місяців тому

@@vijayanand6650depends on how hard it hits the ground. The initial impact likely killed most of the momentum and depending on how hard the ground was it could either be fatal or (barely) survivable. If Indy relaxes his muscles it increases his chance of surviving as well. A man was ripped out of his home by a tornado and landed a quarter mile away completely unharmed because his muscles went totally slack. People have fallen from miles above earth and survived because of significant cushioning. It's feasible that if the ground Indy lands on is more like stereotypical sand opposed to hard earth, it could cushion the impact Enough to allow Indy to survive. Indy potentially going slack and other factors like additional objects on the ground breaking up the impact also help.

The rolling would have plausibly lessened the force of the impact. I see a lot of people comparing it to an elevator dropping, but that's not really the case as an elevator dropping goes straight down. Again, it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop, and the fridge doesn't have a comparatively sudden stop. That being said, if you listen carefully, you can hear the latch when the door falls open, so somehow neither the latch nor the hinges broke against all odds, so Indy should still be trapped.

@redacted2513 9 місяців тому

I'm glad that the fridge wouldn't have actually launched as far as it did in the movie, since I feel like that was the most life-threatening part. When the fridge landed in the movie, it rolled and banged around like a freaking cardboard box, which would most likely be worse than rolling after a car accident (especially since the fridge doesn't have any seat belts or airbags). There's no way he doesn't break his neck or spine rolling around in that thing.

@tamarasmith9060 10 місяців тому

I knew that about the fridge in the movie (while watching, because I'm old enough to have heard stories of kids still dying when I was young. Poor people didn't buy new fridges if the old one still worked, so fridges like that were still around in the 70s.) But the movie made it so the impact broke the door hinges, which though less likely than radiation was still possible. My thought was that he would have broken bones & maybe internal injuries from the fridge being thrown. But that movie takes place after he & his dad drank the water from the Grail cup, so they have magical quick healing for who knows how many years? The Grail guardian lived for centuries in the cave with no food or water after 1 drink. Surely by then Indy knew that low oxygen & blast injuries were a risk, but he can only die of very old age. Thus his plot armor means he was right to risk that he might get stuck in the fridge for a bit.

One thing I think Matpat might have left out was the force at which the refrigerator hits the ground. Depending on how high the fridge was sent flying and the angle at which it hits the ground, I imagine it could still be fatal as it could be similar to an elevator dropping.

@coalcreekdefense8106 10 місяців тому

That's the part I actually wanted to hear about.

@spencerwarren8302 10 місяців тому

There's a lot of safety in elevators to prevent freefall, including redundant lift mechanisms and breaking systems, even large Springs to absorb impact over a longer time if freefall does occur. The fridge fall is far more dangerous than any modern certified elevator. It's probably closer to a high speed car crash with old cars free of modern crumple zones and airbags. In other words, fairly deadly.

@SunnyGoodbye 10 місяців тому

Exactly. Itseems the most likely cause of death. The height it falls from combined with the weight of it and speed from the blast, i'm no mathematician but that's probably hitting the ground at 80 km/h... His head is smashed to bits at the very least.

@SushiVolcano 10 місяців тому

Assuming the ground is completely flat, and no initial acceleration, the starting force the refrigerator experienced would have been stronger than the ending force. I don't know how long the wind would have pushed the refrigerator for, though.

Fallout made reference to this scene a few times. In Fallout New Vegas, using the Wild Wasteland perk, you could find a skeleton in a fridge with a fedora. In Fallout 4, there was a short questline about a kid who hid in a fridge when the bombs fell and was in there for 200 years and only survived because he was ghoulified and ghouls can survive off of radiation.

@gregnulik1975 9 місяців тому

I've guessed the elixir Indy drank from the Holy Grail protected him to an extent from the radiation , and helped him heal from the jostling of the fridge , but it still wasn't enough for him to recover fully till after the Crystal Skull. And the hinge on the fridge door likely was broken just enough for the door to fall open when Indy needed it to.

@stevenearle4105 10 місяців тому

Look at the shape of the latch hole on the door, you only see it briefly but it is much larger than the wall meaning the latch is accessible from the inside of the fridge. It was probably a safety measure for the actor but since you can briefly see it in the film it's part of the in universe design now and thus he could escape.

I was mostly worried about the impact that Indi would experience while inside the fridge. People can die from sudden impact like car accidents very easily and the reason why we started making cars with "crumple zones" was to increase the time of impact to lessen injuries. There is no crumple zone in the fridge and it impacts the ground hard multiple times. I think Indi would have became a human smoothie if this had actually happened

Yeah, the impact of the fridge hitting the ground would have killed him. I’m more perplexed at how, in the first movie, Indy climbed onto a diving U-boat then, hours later, appeared on the dockside of the secret pen, AHEAD of the submarine’s arrival at the island. He could not have opened the hatch on the conning tower because that closes from the inside, and the bridge is directly underneath. The implication is that he held his breath for x number of hours then swam underwater for half a mile at more than 4 knots and clambered onto the dockside without any guards spotting him. now that is real suspension of disbelief.

@@bubbledoubletrouble Yep, that sounds right. You do know that metal is tougher than human bones, right? For example, you can't kick your way out of hand-cuffs, and they're held shut with a tiny baby metal latch. The latch on an old fridge would by MUCH bigger and bulkier than that in hand-cuffs. We're talking about a fridge that was made back when ALL products were designed be robust, and to last 100 years, regardless of rough treatment. A door that had a scary "thunk" when you slammed it shut, like the love-child of a WW2-tank and an iron-maiden. A door than NEEDED to be slammed, or it would just bounce back in your face and knock you off your feet. I doubt that modern kids would have the upper-body-strength required to use one of those old-school fridges, even if the latch had been completely removed. There's more metal just in the door than you've prolly seen in your lifetime. You'd get scared at the sight of it, and run off to the occ-health'n'saftey lady.

Well the biggest error the film did was to show the refrigerator getting blasted with such force (if Indy is still alive, he will at the very least getting multiple fractures) which in the mind of the viewer reinforce the idea of the deadliness of the situation. Adding this was a mistake because them showing the lead sign show us that they knew it was already hard to swallow.

Also, basing the weight on a federal fridge, which weighs around 250 lbs, your numbers are a little skewed in indy's favor.

How fast would the germs transfer from the ground to your food? And how much time do you actually have until that food isnt fit fir safe consumption Style theory - does having a pet help you get a gf/bf? Ive seen various posts saying that having a cat or dog makes you look more attractive to others. Some of those posts were more realistic saying that it makes you look more caring or responsible and such not just out right more attractive. Others say that having a dog can help cuz when walking with them you have more chances to meet people, be them approaching you because they like dogs or if they have a dog and they just start interacting sometimes leading to conversation and pissible relationship Those are my suggestion, i dunno if you could concider having a pet a "style" but if by style you dont mean only clothes, makeups and hairstyles but anything that can make you look atractive or help you express yourself in a visual way than i guess it counts

In the second movie, Indiana and his friends are riding a mine cart along its track (which I assume is the inspiration for all those mine cart levels in Donkey Kong Country). At one point, a really wide gap in the track over a large crevasse appears. The mine cart leaps over the gap and lands perfectly on the track on the other side. It is utterly implausible, but I've never heard anyone ever complain about it, and it just seems strange to me that people are okay with it but so skeptical of the scene here.
