Non-human assistants

Buster

Buster is a crash test dummy that, while not technically a MythBusters cast member (due to being an inanimate object), plays an important role in many experiments by taking the place of a human subject in many of the more dangerous myth tests. The first and most recognized of the dummies used in the show, Buster was introduced in the beginning of the first season for the Exploding Toilet myth. Adam had purchased the dummy to take the place of Jamie (who had second thoughts about testing the myth because he realized the foam he would be using was flammable), and Jamie gave it its name. Crash test dummies have saved many thousands of lives. ... Wikiquote has a collection of quotations related to: MythBusters The cast/crew of the television series MythBusters performs experiments to verify or debunk urban legends, old wives tales, and the like. ...

Because of the nature of the situations in which the MythBusters use him, Buster has been subjected to forces and situations that far exceed his original-design parameters as an automobile crash test dummy. As a testament to the danger of the tests in which he is used—tests that usually result in his being broken into pieces, burnt, or otherwise mutilated—Buster has had to be extensively repaired and rebuilt over the course of the series — to the point that an entire episode was devoted to his being rebuilt and upgraded to "Buster 2.0". The current Buster was designed with quick and simple repair in mind, and boasts improved joints, with a more realistic range of movement, and easily-replaceable poplar wood "bones". The MythBusters chose poplar because in their tests, they found that poplar's shear strength was very similar to human bone, providing an accurate gauge of how bones would react in a crash and/or other impact, since it would not be feasible to use real human bones. In addition, Buster's new flesh (with the noted exception of his face, hands, and feet) is made of "Dragon Skin", a special fire-resistant silicone. Buster's original head was retained when he was rebuilt, but it had to be replaced after it was shattered during a mishap on the Escape Slide Parachute myth. The "skin" from the original head was retained to fit over his replacement head. They tested Buster 2.0 by dropping him 60 feet (about 20 meters) off a crane while inside "Earl the MythBusters Caddy" (a donated Cadillac which was supposed to be destroyed in a previous myth).

The MythBusters have at times adapted Buster to fit specialized equipment or give him new functionality. For myths involving holding onto things (such as "Plywood Builder"), his hands are replaced with clamps or quick-release rigs. For myths involving falls (like "Hammer Bridge Drop"), accelerometers, shock gauges, or other related devices are installed in his body. He was even attached to a pneumatic system at one time so he could punch sharks for the Shark Week special. A depiction of an accelerometer designed at Sandia National Laboratories. ...

Simulaids

Buster has since been supplemented with a family of at least four Simulaids, dubbed "Randy 'Rescue Randy'" (Father), "Jane" (Mother), "Suzy" (Daughter) and an unnamed son. These were added partly because Buster (even in his current design) was becoming increasingly difficult to repair, and also because not all myths can be accurately tested with Buster due to his size, weight, and other factors. For instance, Suzy (a child dummy) was used to test the myth that a child could go 360 degrees around a swing set. Being representative of an adult man, Buster would not have properly fit the criteria for the myth. The Simulaids were first introduced in the Killer Brace Position myth, primarily because multiple dummies were needed for testing.

Ted

More recently, another man-sized dummy named Ted ("as in bus-ted, exploi-ted, annihila-ted") has been employed. Created entirely out of ballistic gelatin, he was made by the Build Team to test the myth of a passing train's wake being able to draw a man onto the tracks. He was then used in testing the myth of a plane gunner falling several thousand feet through the glass ceiling of a train station just as a one thousand pound bomb went off in the station. Ted was used mainly because it was thought that any dummy used in the experiment would not survive the blast. Indeed, Ted did not survive the experiment in any recognizable condition. Ballistic gelatin is a solution of gelatin powder in water. ...
