- 6:14The reverse bear trap reaches its ballistic gel mannequin test.
- 6:42Tyler and Tylor reenact Saw's bathroom predicament; the chain-cutting result comes at 11:27.
- 9:29A paid PixVerse segment interrupts the trap experiments.

- 17:03A pickup truck, chains and a ballistic dummy form the setup for the car-trap experiment.
Could the prisoners in Saw have cut through their chains instead? Tyler Blanchard and collaborator Tylor put that question to a practical test, shackling their ankles for a bathroom-scene reenactment and getting to work with hacksaws.
It's one of the less gruesome experiments in "I Tested Deadly Traps From Horror Movies," which reached roughly 700,000 views in its first 12 hours. Its opening pace is about ten times Tyler's usual start for videos of this length.
The centerpiece is a functioning reverse bear trap built by fabricator Kurt. Rather than putting a person inside, the crew works through tests involving a styrofoam head, a pumpkin and a ballistic gel mannequin. The video mixes staged horror scenes with physical prop tests, then moves on to swinging ice blocks and a pickup-truck-powered trap.
Tyler's enthusiasm for the engineering comes with an admission about his franchise homework: "I didn't get past the fifth Saw, I'm throwing it out there now." Viewers are supplying some of that homework in the comments, untangling the sequels' numbering. Others point to a slowing sound effect or suggest Halloween and Five Nights at Freddy's for future experiments.
The episode includes a paid segment for AI platform PixVerse. It follows "I Tested Brutal Horror Movie Deaths," the opening installment of Tyler's October horror series, which recreated scenes from Final Destination. That gives this run a specific shift: from that franchise's elaborate accidents to Saw's deliberately engineered traps.
