Throwing a Needle Through Glass in Slow Motion

It's feet per second vs. frames per second, as Gav and Dan join forces with three Shaolin Monks, who show off one of their most challenging skills—throwing a needle through glass. The Super Slow Show, Only on YouTube.

Can I safely assume that a lot of people were disappointed it didn't go straight through?


Edit: based on the number of likes and replies of a comment I posted 6 years ago I think I can safely assume yes.

Everyone Gangsta Till A Shaolin Monk Takes Out His Entire Sewing Kit

[aussiestrump]

I trained for only 6 years and now I can throw a brick through a glass window

[afc]

The monk holding the glass has trained extensively in the art of closing his eyes

[pimpindistress]

I bet your wondering why people were replying about someone dying

[TonyNguyen-itvd]

Those shaolin monks could be holding a *wet noodle* and I'd still be running in the opposite direction.

Imagine if he threw a chopstick at you.

Shaolin Monk:” did you guys enjoy it.” Gav:”I hope that u guys enjoyed the video”. 😂😂

[AcceptableAsGenerallyDecent]

Everyone gangsta till the needle rebounds into their eyes

[randalftheblack]

To be fair, it's very impressive to even poke a hole straight through glass with a thrown needle..

Bruce:"How did you guy enjoy it?(to Gav)
Gav:*does outro* "So if you liked the video like, coment and subscribe down below."

[Godfreed]

Thank you to the Shaolin monks for that demonstration, very appreciative. Also a massive thanks to you the slow Mo guys

[SuperYGOD]

The Shaolin Monks used eye lids in place of safety goggles. Nice.

I love how the Shaolin master talked to Dan like a child.

[TheGoldSwordSquad]

If I knew someone called master Bruce I would be so tempted to do a michael Caine impression every time I meet them “good morning master Bruce”

[USSBARBEL]

Very cool of the monks to allow themselves to be investigated like that. Much appreciated.

So the needle didn't go through but still, it went fast enough, straight enough and hard enough to actually pierce glass. Something that weighs less than an ounce. Everyone in the comments is making it seem like no big deal.
