An Interesting Look at Movie Survival Scenes

How many times have you watched a TV show or movie which features scenes on topics that you either personally or professionally have experience with?  For many shows, you pretty much have to suspend belief unless you want to be thoroughly annoyed at the legal/medical/technical things that would never happen in real life.  So I found this video where Bear Grylls reviews survival scenes in an assortment of movies fairly interesting.  The moral of the story is not to believe everything you see in the movies, although if you do your research, some of the things you see are actually correct.
