How to Survive the Traps of Home Alone

Could you survive a paint can smashing your face at 32 km/h (20 mph)? How about a blow torch to the head? Or an iron to the skull? These are just some of the sadistic traps that make up the massively popular holiday film "Home Alone". Audiences could not get enough of seeing eight-year-old Kevin torture the burglars that tried to rob his family home. But they also couldn't help but think, how many of these traps would realistically kill the burglars? Would a helmet be enough to keep them safe? And why should they have been vaccinated before entering the house? And today, we're putting them to the test. If these traps existed in real life, would they still result in hillarious slapstick or would they leave a trail of bodies?
