Would you Risk Drowning for $500,000?
Transcript
00:00I chained this massive rock to a random guy!
00:03Hi!
00:06And when this chain runs out, it's going to pull him to the bottom of the ocean.
00:11And this is only the first of seven death traps we have planned for him.
00:15Like balancing hundreds of feet in the air,
00:18stealing from a thousand pound grizzly bear,
00:21driving through a literal minefield,
00:23and so much more.
00:25And if he can survive all of that,
00:27I'll give him half a million dollars!
00:30Ah, here we go!
00:32But first things first, he'll have to escape this trap,
00:35which, like all of them, is so dangerous,
00:38we had to hire trained safety professionals on set.
00:40And every second it takes him to unlock his chain,
00:43he sinks deeper into the ocean.
00:49Oh, he's up! He did it!
00:51Yeah!
00:52Congrats!
00:53Woo!
00:54You're now one step closer to half a million dollars!
00:57Yeah!
00:58But escaping this next trap won't be so easy.
01:02Welcome to the second death trap!
01:04Open the cage!
01:05What?
01:05Take off your blindfold and turn around.
01:07Oh my god.
01:09This real-life, one thousand pound grizzly bear
01:12is now guarding your money.
01:14I think that fifty grand is his now.
01:16And like every trap in this video,
01:18your money has been split up.
01:19However many bags of fifty grand you can get to the exit
01:22moves on with you to the next trap.
01:24The challenge begins now!
01:26Good luck!
01:26All right, I'm just gonna get froggy.
01:28Oh, he's getting so close to the bear.
01:30You went for that one, Vol?
01:36How are you staying so calm?
01:38I'm not!
01:38I look this way, but the reality is, I'm not calm.
01:42The bear just looked at you, walked by.
01:44Uh, be careful, bro.
01:45Even though Byron was absolutely terrified of getting torn to shreds by this bear.
01:52Bro, the bear is literally standing on one of the bags.
01:55He's gonna rip that open.
01:56The bear was fixated on one bag of money.
01:59He's preoccupied.
02:00Byron snuck around the room, easily collecting the rest.
02:03Until the bag the bear was eating was the last one.
02:06The last fifty grand is currently being eaten by the bear.
02:09Byron, you don't have to do this.
02:11You can stop.
02:12If you're too afraid to steal that last bag from the bear, you can quit now and just move
02:17on to the next trap.
02:18Quit the money you did get.
02:19No, I'm not quitting.
02:23Well, be careful.
02:24Don't grab it yet.
02:25Just maybe wait until he gets bored of it.
02:27He's trying to distract the bear away from his money.
02:30Hey, hey!
02:30Well, it's kind of working.
02:32He's trying to get a killing machine to go over to him.
02:34He might be the first human ever to want a thousand pound bear to come towards him.
02:38Oh my god, he's going to the last bag.
02:44Oh!
02:45I did it!
02:46Oh my god, oh my god.
02:47The rest!
02:48And for a third of seven death traps, you might recognize the challenge.
02:53But we put a new spin on it just for Byron.
02:56Take off your blindfolds.
02:58Welcome to the next death trap.
02:59Oh no, Jimmy.
03:02We're not even a hundred feet in the air yet.
03:04Oh my god.
03:06Raise us up.
03:10Welcome to the balance beam of death.
03:12Actually, we'll call it the $500,000 bounce beam.
03:19Your $500,000 is dangling a hundred feet in the air.
03:24You must balance on this narrow beam.
03:27Unlock each bag of $50,000 and throw them on the target below.
03:30Any money that lands on the target, you move on and any money that ends up in the water is lost forever.
03:36Oh my god.
03:39You chicken though?
03:40You're going to walk across?
03:41The only thing on this platform that's chicken are your legs.
03:44This is for you, kids.
03:51Oh, he's off.
03:52First step.
03:53Oh my god, he's doing it.
03:54He's actually doing it.
03:56Oh my gosh, look at his feet.
03:58This is insane.
03:59Now he's got to reach for the money.
04:00Oh, he got the money.
04:02This is scary because look, he's actually leaning back.
04:04Bro, what's going through your mind?
04:05You're like a scarecrow.
04:07Jimmy, you're talking too much right now.
04:08You're not talking enough.
04:09Oh god.
04:12All right, are you going to throw from here?
04:17Oh, oh, oh.
04:19He landed one.
04:22Don't celebrate too early, Byron.
04:23You still have nine bags to go.
04:25He's lining his shot up.
04:27Speaking of legs, my leg is cramping right now.
04:29Come massage it right now for me.
04:32Oh, he threw it.
04:35He's two for two.
04:36All right, can he keep his streak alive?
04:38Third bag is off.
04:39Bullseye.
04:42He has $200,000 on his target.
04:45And Byron isn't even halfway across yet.
04:47You feel that wind, Byron?
04:49Oh, yeah.
04:50The wind is really picking up.
04:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:52It's very unstable.
04:56It's actually shaking like crazy.
05:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:05Oh, he almost fell.
05:07God.
05:08Don't pass out on me.
05:11Oh, he's just dropping him.
05:12He's just dropping him.
05:16Oh, no, it bounced off.
05:18He lost 50K.
05:20Come on, baby.
05:21And if you're wondering who this maniac is, his name is Byron.
05:26A battle-hardened army ranger who's fought in the world's most dangerous war zone.
05:31And above all else, he wants to bring this money home to his kids.
05:35Let's go.
05:37Come on, baby.
05:39That's it.
05:39That's it.
05:41Oh.
05:43That's already $100,000 in the water.
05:46And if he falls now, he's losing another $100,000.
05:48We've got to land these next two.
05:53Right on the money.
05:55Yeah.
05:55All right.
05:56The last bag.
05:57I'm in my head right now.
05:59Byron, do it for your kids.
06:12Byron, you lost a lot of money on this round.
06:15You've already lost $150,000, and you're only on the third trap.
06:21Jimmy.
06:21Yeah?
06:22I have a deal for you.
06:24You give me $100,000 back, and I'll jump off this.
06:27$50,000, and you have a deal.
06:28$75,000.
06:30Sure.
06:30Just because I want to see it.
06:31You're 100 feet in the air.
06:32What are you talking about?
06:33Byron, you're crazy.
06:48I've been told that once or twice.
06:50Byron, you and your $425,000 are moving on to trap four out of seven.
06:56Take off your blindfold.
06:58Welcome to the minefield of death.
07:01Oh, my God.
07:02Jimmy.
07:02Buried beneath this minefield are 20 gargantuan bombs, completely hidden out of sight.
07:09Come on, Jimmy.
07:10Your job is to drive your money across the minefield, but be careful which path you take,
07:15because if you accidentally trigger a mine, all your money inside of that car will burn
07:20to ashes.
07:22Roger that.
07:23But lucky for you, you have five chances to save your money.
07:25You can put it all in one car.
