The science of escape and the art of ingenuity gets put to the test as escapologist Jonathan Goodwin attempts to break out of bizarre and dangerous homemade contraptions in the series One Way Out.
Tied to his kitchen table with a live scorpion trapped inside his mouth or locked inside a box on top of a shaking washing machine with his body covered in 200,000 agitated bees, Jonathan is always on the lookout for new and extreme ways to test the art and physics of escape and find that "one way out." He is joined by his best friend and chief collaborator Mikey Nelson ("To be honest, I don't know what prompted Baldy and me to be fast friends.") and master builder/engineer Terry Stroud ("Nothing gets the brain going like being responsible for not killing someone.").
For One Way Out, Jonathan approaches each escape with a theory in mind and an audacious stunt to back it up:
- In order to test what the body can do with minimal movement, Jonathan locks himself inside a box on top of a shaking washing machine with his body covered in 200,000 agitated bees.
- How does the force of spinning affect the body and the mind? Jonathan attempts to escape from a locked barrel pushed down a large hill and rolling at 126 revolutions per minute, spins on a chair at incredible speeds and then navigates barefoot through piles of broken glass, and withstands two Gs of force on his body courtesy of the Water Wheel of Doom.
- While exploring the science and the pain associated with projectiles, Jonathan chains himself in a standing position as six tennis ball cannons pummel his body with balls flying at 45 mph; jumps into just 17 inches of water, mud and hay from a height of almost 20 feet; and becomes a human projectile himself by getting placed in a giant slingshot and launched over 65 feet in the air.
Don't miss Jonathan getting into trouble to learn more about getting out! It may look like fun and games, but there's a lot that can go wrong when there is only One Way Out!
