RIP Grant Imahara

[mainman]

Just now found out MythBusters Grant Imahara passed July 13 from a brain aneurysm, he was only 49.

Yeah bit of a surprise being so young. I really did like watching Mythbusters.

I’ve briefly met him at robot events, and a lot of my friends were close with him and had met at various Battlebots events or worked with him at ILM (sometimes both). Just last week I got in the mail a poster he had signed.

Right now my Facebook feed is literally all of my engineering friends sharing polaroids of the old Battlebots and ILM days. Or sharing how much of an inspiration he was. Disheartening to hear. He was so young.

Lana: What's your third biggest fear?
Archer: Brain aneurysm.
Lana: What's a brain aneurysm have to do with walking around in a swamp?
Archer: Nothing, it can happen anywhere at anytime, that's what makes it so terrifying.

RIP to a guy who helped make science cool to a generation.

Really sad to hear. I loved watching Mythbusters. You could always tell Grant knew and loved what he was doing. RIP.

He was the guy on Mythbusters who never had a negative thing to say. Always smiling. He had quite the impressive resume for someone his age. No wonder he touched so many.

RIP. That's two Mythbusters hosts down in just like 6 months...

Too young. My condolences to his friends and family. Enjoyed his work on mythbusters and other bits I saw of him on YouTube.

Jessi death was her own doing. Grant passing was out of his control.

And so Jessi's death isn't a bummer?

No her loss was tragic but still self inflicted. But there's a difference between strapping yourself into a rocket car because you want to be 2fast 2furious like Paul Walker and someone less dangerously going about their life when suddenly a blood vessel ruptured in their brain.

You're right. I shouldn't have alluded to Jessi dying.

 

[GutsDozer]

Stuff like sudden undetected aneurysms scare the hell out of me. I mean there just is not much you can do about it.

Insensitive but true.

lmbo I know right 'Her death was her own doing' sweet mao

They are absolutely terrifying. No symptoms.
Some family history does put someone at risk, but that's not the only problem. They can occur in your kidney, knees, or spleen as well.

Too right, people here wouldn’t even know you’re gone. You wouldn’t even get a goodbye to the drama thread.
