Could anyone survive Kevin's traps?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Home Alone burglars, Harry and Marv suffer some very painful injuries from Kevin McCallister's boobytrapped home security system, and it's hard to tell if real people would even be able to survive some of the inventive kid's traps. Home Alone is the '90s Christmas classic that sees the large, sprawling McCallister family leaving for a vacation to Paris.
Marv & Harry Fall Down The Stairs Multiple Times When Marv and Harry split up and go to the basement and front door respectively, they find out that Kevin has sprayed the outdoor steps with water, resulting in a slick, icy coating. Marv slides down the long stairway to the basement and Harry slips and falls multiple times on his way to the front door. Each fall looks and sounds incredibly painful, with the pair cartwheeling and slamming onto their backs.
According to a health professional, that iron would have caused more damage than a scar on Marv's face . The iron falls a full story, so at least 14 feet, and slams into his eye. A heavy clothes iron could weigh as much as four pounds and this would be enough force to potentially fracture Marv's orbital bone, causing blindness and even irreparable structural damage. So it may not kill him, but Marv would probably not have been able to make his way any further into the McCallister home.
Harry's Scalp Is Set On Fire The scalding hot front door knob sends Harry scurrying to the back of the house to try again. Upon finally managing to push open the door, Harry is greeted by a blowtorch aimed right at his head. When he opens the door, a trigger is pulled, and the blowtorch erupts over Harry's scalp.
Neither the glass ornaments nor the nail looks like they could prove fatal in any way, but they could certainly cause complications later if the wounds are left untreated . Tetanus would be a worry with the rusty nail and could have penetrated far enough to cause deep tissue damage, but the pain would be the worst part. The glass and nail combined would make for a very unpleasant experience as Marv continued through the house.
"Assuming the paint can is full and the rope is 10 feet long, Marv and Harry each take a roughly 2 kilo-newton hit to the face. That is easily enough to fracture multiple facial bones, and is probably going to knock you out cold. Also, I wouldn't expect either of the Wet Bandits to walk away from this with all of their teeth."
