Mythbusters Special Ideas

So, I've been rewatching lots of Mythbusters over the last few months and recently their YouTube channel uploaded the Breaking Bad & Simpsons episodes. This got me thinking, is there anything from Leverage or Leverage: Redemption that you would have liked to have seen them test?

A follow up is wondering how a crossover the opposite direction would have gone (in example, the CSI cameo & Simpsons 'Mythcrackers')?

The first myth I could think of would be Parkers metal magnetic boots when she had to get through the pressure plates

I don't believe they were magnetic; Hardison had weighed them down with ball bearings to match the weight of the mark and to assist in Parker's dive off the roof off the skyscraper

I guess you'll need to break down what exactly they'd be testing; no doubt they also could make the boots. If it's how Parker had to replicate the gait of the mark, they already tested if video games can teach you skills

And if the ball bearings are going to throw off it they move
