Do you get more wet if you run in the rain or walk? Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters were trying to find an answer to this mystery. Most people would run in the rain instead of walk. Adam and Jamie believed that when a person walks in the rain, the rain hits their head and shoulders. Although, when a person is running the rain hits their whole body because they are stretched out. They tested it by making an experiment. They made some rain by fixing pipes to the ceiling and running water through them. Adam and Jamie had to factor some aspects into their experiment, like the velocity of the rain and the speed that they would run at. After they finished the test the results were quite surprising. It was found that if you walk in the rain instead of run you stay drier. This myth was BUSTED! In this show there wasn't exactly any safety equipment used because it wasn't very dangerous. Although, there was one time when Adam was up on a machine connecting pipes together on the ceiling he used a harness. Using a harness showed safety because he was up in the air and a harness can keep him from unexpectedly falling off. This episode was all about science because they measured the velocity of the rain and the speed of the people running. You would need a back round in science in order to perform an experiment with special effects like this because it would help organize the experiment. Also, having a career in science can help you almost anywhere.
