Indiana Jones is BACK for one last ride in the Dial of Destiny! But one question that’s been on our minds is whether Harrison Ford would have ACTUALLY survived all of Indie’s wild adventures… but more specifically whether he would survive the infamous fridge scene. You know, the one where Indiana Jones survives a literal nuclear explosion by hiding in a refrigerator?! Put on your hats and grab your whips because today it’s finally time to put the question to rest. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ *🔽 Don’t Miss Out!* Get Your TheoryWear! ► https://theorywear.com/ Dive into the Reddit! ► https://www.reddit.com/r/GameTheorists/ Need Royalty Free Music for your Content?

The one problem is that indi was in the fridge for only 11 seconds, and it looks like the impact from hitting the ground, and the explosion broke the door hinges allowing him to escape.

I always thought Indi survived the fridge because he drank from the holy grail in the 3rd movie, but this works too.

I always assumed that the fridge door broke open at the end and ejected Indy solving the issue of him being locked inside.

My great grandfather was a nuclear physist during the Cold War and I asked him about this movie and he said that as along as the fridge was lead lined, he could have survived the initial blast. But he did say that he definitly didn't survive the fridge flying that far. Edit: He couldn't tell anyone what he did, not even his wife but odds are he did work on missles because of the areas he worked in as well as how well he was payed.

My problem with the fridge has always been not the fridge shielding Indy from the nuke - but the force of him being flown & dropped & surviving that without a single broken bone or bruise.

As fast as that fridge was crashing around, I find it hard to believe that Indy wasn't killed inside. No internal bleeding, no broken bones, no concussion. That's what I have a problem with.

I'm pretty sure the force of that impact definitely would have smashed the latch open on the fridge. But on that note, I'm surprised they didn't address the force of the impact on Indy's body.

Another thing to add to that. I vividely remember as a kid when indi was being talked to about ending up in the fridge. The general specifically mentions "dont youbknow those things are deathtraps?" Refering to the latch. So even the movie acknowledge the fridge itself as the more dangerous aspect

18:00 I always assumed the fridge took so much damage from both the explosion and the subsequent impact and rolling around that the door simply fell off.
