50 zip-ties to life a smart car

And 50 is not what it took but rather how many was used.

Before watching I'm going to make a guess that it takes somewhere between 10 and 314. After watching I can conclude that I was correct, as always.

FINALLY. I have my answer

The Mythbusters tried that with duct tape. Used about 100 strips, for a 5000 lb car.

That guys voice is less and less enthusiastic as the amount of zip ties progresses.

With how random zip ties can be with their sturdiness that's a very objective test he is running there

They make thicker zipties the same length. these things have at leas 10x the strength of these small ties. I honestly cant live without the ticker ones as they are so good.

Zip tie is a broad term

Easiest way to figure out how many it takes: check the rating on the package. From 300g to 70kg is a biiit of a range

Every Ty-Rap is a zip tie but not every zip tie is a Ty-Rap.

Another manufacturer of zip ties is Panduit. Their product name is... Pan-Ty.

When 30 almost made it he increased with 20 more. I wonder if 40 would have been enough

30, but tied in a more robust fashion!
I demand a re-test!!!
(anyone got a spare smart car?)

Looked like 35 might have!

31!

8! or maybe 194! Somewhere in the middle of that would be enough.
