- Animal InjectionsE2

Withstanding 39 puncture wounds and venom reactions lasting for nearly a full day, what will Stock's experiments reveal about our interactions with creepy crawly things? - Sudden ImpactE3
Sudden ImpactAn object in motion tends to stay in motion... unless you put something in its way. Whether it's taking a left hook from a 115kg heavyweight boxer's fist, a 140kg CFL linebacker's broadside or a car crash at 70kph, Stock gets some "target practice" experiencing sudden impact firsthand. - G-ForceE4
G-ForceGravity keeps us grounded, but in this episode, Stock turns the most basic law of nature on its head strapping in for a few midway rides, in a centrifuge and screaming through the clouds in a Snowbirds jet - upside down, backwards and at over 750kph! This human guinea pig will grey-out, blackout - and maybe even freak out - as he experiences G-force! - Blown Away

In this episode, Stock gets caught in an updraft, blasted in a sandstorm and trapped in a wind tunnel simulating the impact of a hurricane.
