Mythbusters is not only educational and highly entertaining, but it could also save your life:

Schoolboy Julian’s lifesaving MythBuster moment

“I jumped down on to the tracks, lifted him off the ground and put him on my shoulder – he was heavy but there was enough adrenaline rushing through to help me,” said Julian, who is in year 9 at Lisarow High School and plays guitar in punk rock band Checkered Fist.

With the train “just a couple of metres away”, Julian moved the North Gosford resident to the edge of the track and rolled him under the platform.

But danger was not totally averted.

“[As the train roared past] the noise pierced your ears and there was a suction that pulled us in,” Julian said.

“I’d seen that on MythBusters, so I stayed right back and pulled Mark back towards me.”

The train eventually passed safely, and the pair chatted until ambulance officers arrived.

Something similar happened to me just the other day… it was raining and I was debating with myself whether to walk or run to the door. Eventually I decided to walk. I ended up being soaked, but I stand by my decision. Julian’s Mythbusters moment was a bit more life and death than that though
