What goes up must come down. Isaac Newton first identified the force we call gravity, and now Joe Geniuses are climbing to new heights to discover its influence. Watch as skydivers, bungee jumpers, and jet-pack-toting adventurers get a (sometimes painful) lesson on the uncompromising science of free fall.

It's time for Joe Genius: Where backyard science goes BIG TIME. Joe Genius highlights home-grown Einsteins who experiment, tinker, and yes, blow stuff up in the name of science. And it's all caught on tape! Join Jonah Ray as he whizzed through these geniuses' most epic failures and thrilling successes -- and of course, the science behind it all.

FEELING GRAVITY'S PULL

Check out these rebellious Joe Geniuses breaking the law - of gravity! Watch some non-Tom Petty's free fall from extreme heights and how others feel the pain of gravity's pull. Find out who takes home the Joe "Better Luck Next Time" Award and of course, Jonah Ray announces the winner of the coveted Joe "Genius" Award!
