Human Wrecking Balls

Martial artists and breaking champions Craig and Paul Pumphrey demolish everything from boats and cars to houses using only their bare hands.

For each challenge, they join forces with a team of experts in material science and engineering to review the object of their destruction from every possible angle before taking it apart, using physics and know-how to determine the most effective approach.

Each Human Wrecking Balls episode revealed the final outcome of the Pumphrey’s ripping and smashing, as well as the various experiments they put to the test.

The episodes that were filmed inside a building, like the office, the hotel, and the movie theater, take much longer due to the confined space.

For each new area the guys "break," the cameras have to be re-arranged, the lighting re-configured, and the crew moved to get just the right shot.
