Geek HOW INDIANA JONES SURVIVED NUKING THE FRIDGE Twins In the movie "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skul" Indiana Jones survives the explosion of a nuclear bomb by cleverly ducking in a refridgerator. While most believe it's impossible, George Lucas has said that he has scientific evidence that his odds of survival are "50150." Let's take a closer look at the scene and see how Jones seems to defy physics and common sense to survive. Indy is accelerated by the blast and then follows a projectile trajectory. For most of the flight he is weightless. Small leaks in the fridge let in some superheated air it mixes with the cool interior and lowers the temperature to within tolerable levels. After riding the rail cars in the Temple of Doom this ride is easy Radiation from the explosion ends within seconds (as the pure explosion plasma extends and is covered by the much colder mushroom cloud). The walls and the atmosphere, plus 1 cm of lead shielding, protects him from all alpha, beta and low energy gamma radiation. Some 5 rem of high energy gamma gets through. This is within the "safe limits of radiation exposure of 50 rems. The blast wave launches the fridge into the air although everything else in the house is destroyed. Realizing he is about to land, he flattens his body against the fridge wall. Jones hits the ground with a force equal to slamming into a brick wall at 100 mph. Thanks to his neck brace and crumple zones built into the fridge by Army engineers he is able to withstand the shock. Compared to surviving a plane crash by using a lifeboat, like he did in Temple of Doom," the ride is comfortable The temperature and thermal radiation converges to the temperature of the environment and the upstream of the explosion sucks in fresh air on ground level. The air is a comfortable 93 degrees F Indiana Jones climbs out. Looking back, he enjoys the view of the mushroom cloud. Jones is scrubbed down to remove the latent radioactive material. His exposure could cause possible late effects, like chromosomal or eye damage. Well have to wait till the sequels to find out 200 mph (70-90 m/s) Indiana Jones is in a nuclear test town when he hears a siren. He spots the only commercial lead-lined fridge ever made It was put in by the Army to test the effects of radiation on leftover meatloaf. Jones climbs in, puts on a neck brace hidden in his hat and gets in crash position. 20kT Russian car going 80 mph destroyed by blast wave Speed Comparisons Racehorse Roller Coaster 37 mph 17 m/s 149 mph 37 m/s @ Maurice Mitchell 2012
