Just saw a preview. Showed MacGyver "rapelling" up a wall.

FAKE! FAKE! It was so obvious it was a camera trick! It really looked like Mac was walking upright but bent down to appear to be rapelling and the camera was turned sideways.....

It looks very green screen to me, but the thing that got me was that it's physically impossible.

As you can see from my rather crude diagram below, that pole would either need to be able to extend to keep pressure against him as he moved up the wall or the base would need to somehow be able to move closer to the wall as he moved up.

Is it something to do with Lever?

Before I found this video, I remember when somebody commented on YouTube about that MacGyver Preview and said that some army tried that trick. It made me think that if it would work there must to be some peoples pushing the other end of that pole towards the wall. You're right MacGyverOnline too, it only needs two peoples to push that pole.

huh. That's pretty cool actually. A quick and easy way to do it.

OK so if that's what they're doing in that episode then it's a cool MacGyverism. thumbup.gif

That might have been me in the Promo Thread in here tongue.gif

I meant to look for the video, but couldn't find it immediately and then I forgot about it. Sooooooorry.

That's exactly the video I meant; nice that you found it!

Of course, there's a good possibilty that they filmed this scene with green screen and Lucas using rope work for help, but I think that's okay.

That chart is spot on. The angle of that pole in the pic isn't great enough to work. Sure looks cool though!!
