Judge: "Congratulations, your blade can kill."

*Falls back and dies*

[sdstarr]

Mythbusters was the gold standard in protecting their cast and crew from danger

Shad hit the nail on the head- it'll take a catastrophic injury on-set before they address the problem. Having been an on-set safety officer I can tell you it's near impossible to convince a producer that something could go wrong until it does. I've tilted at that windmill for years

[viper]

Original Host Quit in disgust after he caught them rigging the competition during a beat the judges season. (judge messed up, they covered it and had the judge win)

[Travis_Stewart]

My wife and I absolutely love forged in fire, and I find it absolutely hilarious how you guys are saying the exact same things her and I do. 😂😂😂😂

[Mausso]

This reminds me of a classic internet video where an infomercial was selling some cheap ass swords. The sales man was saying that the blades were unbreakable and, upon striking the table three times, the blade snapped and cut him.

'Forged In Fire' and 'Deadliest Warrior' were my childhood introduction to the idea of "qualified opinions".

[marcusc]

I'm more surprised that their insurance company didn't force them to implement safety measures.

07:33 after this he started wearing a neck protector and you'll notice under armour in future episodes after this one.

Dave Baker is specifically a sword guy, but he's the only one of the regular hosts that is not mostly a knife guy. Ben is more of a metal expert than a specific guy and the others are more knife /knife use experts. The tests are more about what the blade can survive

[richardw]

I like how the two of you appear as dream sequences for whoever is in the video you are reviewing.

[swetzel]

You guys should do your own forged in fire where contestants from all over the world send you weapons, and then you test their weapon safely, and with tests more relevant to the purpose of the weapon.

[anonymouslee]

"Dry bone is closer to rock, and that can REALLY mess up blades." So in medieval fantasy games where bladed weapons suck against reanimated skeletons (but not against zombies, ) and you're supposed to use bludgeoning weapons against the skellies, that acutally makes a lot more scientific sense than probably even the game designers realize?

[VexingWeeb]

"moist bone, like still in flesh" gotta be the groessest thing I've heard today, on november 6, 2024

[metal--babble]

The judges injure themselves smashing knives and swords into inappropriately hard objects. One guy broke his wrist smashing a heavy basket hilt word into ICE

[Welvryn]

Dave Baker is a historical swordsmith, Doug Marcaida is an edged weapon combat specialist and a bladesmith, J. Neilson is a Mastersmith in the American Blade Society, and Ben Abbott is a Bladesmith. They typically wear more PPE these days, usually a flak vest under a shirt, but they should be using more PPE. Dave typically smiths the weapon that they show the contestants that they will need to build.

[samuelzuleger]

To be fair, they spent all their money on pork to test if the blades can kill.

Although, you'd figure if the blade could kill, they'd take a few precautions.

[solothkaroftrinsic]

I love that you are not sh**ting on the show but raise valid concerns that I had noticed too over the years.

[stephenpetersen]

A good amount of the clips are from the early episodes. Im glad the later ones at least had them wearing gloves and neck gators.

[MrPlainsflyer]

There have been instances where a judge was injured by a test. They have increased PPE over the years
