Ever wondered if a high-speed fastball could break a human skull? This intriguing question is put to the test in the latest YouTube video "Head vs Baseball." The experiment uses a ballistic head, designed to perfectly replicate human anatomy with meat, bones, and even a brain.

Instead of risking a real head or relying on a friend to pitch at 90 mph, advanced equipment is employed to simulate the powerful throw. A speed gun confirms the velocity, exceeding the critical 90 mph mark. The high-speed collision is then captured in dramatic detail.

As the fastball hurtles towards the ballistic skull, the tension builds. The first attempt narrowly misses, but the final impact is nothing short of jaw-dropping. The video vividly demonstrates the force needed to crush a human skull, providing both a thrilling and educational experience.

Curious to see the dramatic conclusion? Watch the full demonstration now and witness the raw power of a 90 mph fastball.
