I like that Adam probably already that set of safety precautions ready to quote for exactly this sort of situation.

Hey it's one of guys from Rooster Teeth that actually wasn't a creep/sex pest

If you need a guy on YouTube that has experience firing birds from air cannons, who better than Adam Savage.

I just watched The Birds last week so this feels very relevant.

Pretty much. He started talking about the safety and I had a brief moment of "why's he the one telling everybody this?" before realizing that he's done enough other experiments involving improvised cannons to already know exactly which issues needed to be considered to pull together a set of safety rules. In practice, they mostly just mirrored standard range safety guidelines, adapted for a compressor-powered air cannon, and anyone else could probably have done it, but I imagine it's second nature for Adam at this point.

Pretty much, Adam goes more into the safety on his channel.

I know Adam has wanted to do a video with the Dan and Gav, and also they have been wanting to do one with Adam. This has been a long time coming

It's a collab that makes sense. There's a lot of overlap between Mythbusters' and the Slow-Mo Guys' niches, and while it's not entirely accurate to say they're a modern-day version of Mythbusters, it's also not entirely wrong. This is just really cool for everyone involved.
