I did that once.

Only it wasn't an arrow, it was a paper airplane. And it was moving really slow.

I thought mythbusters "proved" this was impossible unless you had much much higher then human reaction times... Maybe they should investigate the video. heh.

That arrow looks way longer than the one they used on Mythbusters, which makes a big difference.

Yes, the MythBuster's attempted this with a mechanical arm and called it busted (a human can't catch an arrow). Their research department is lacking because it was done on the "Ripley's Believe it or Not" show long before they attempted the "myth." They were also attempting to catch the arrow just a few inches after it was launched.

I predict they will re-visit this one.

I love it when the face goes photo negative in the reaction shot

Yeah, the Mythbusters need to revist that one, without a doubt. In their defense, the arrow used here is MUCH longer, and travelling at a significantly lower velocity than the arrows the Mythbusters used.
