S1 E54
·
2016

Whether we’re high up on mountain peaks or deep in the oceans, our bodies don’t react the same way. To test the limits of the human body, Agathe and David put Vincent to the test. Our daredevil dives to a depth of 20 meters to measure the pressure. Next, at the summit of Mont Blanc, he pushes himself physically to see the effects of oxygen deprivation. Will our test subject hold up?
