How many lives does MacGyver need?

Post by MacGyverGod »

Have you ever wondered how many lives MacGyver really needs to survive his show?

According to Pete Mac has 9 lives and according to himself he already lived 8 of them and didn't want to waste the last one.

MacGyver has been shot up, locked up, blown up and all he's got to show it for are a few empty roles of ductape.

This is just something I've been thinking about when I was thinking about some video's I once saw in which Screen Junkies among others analised movies like Home Alone and Die Hard to determine how many lives a character need to survive their movies. Also plenty of videos of doctors reacting to movie injuries.

So I'm also wondering if there are any doctors nurses or specialists here, because I'm just real curious how many lives MacGyver really needs if he is to survive his show to real life standards.

Below is a list of his injuries.

In total MacGyver is shot 9 times (not counting Bushmasters because they were blanks):
To Be A Man: takes one in the hand and shoulder while flying a hang glider and crashing near a river.
D.O.A. MacGyver: grazed him sending him through a big window, landing in the sea with a big head wound leaving him with amnesia.
Back From The Dead: after the fight with Ralph, takes one in the left side and goes under water.
Cease Fire: takes one in the left side again and falls down a hill leaving him unconscious.
Serenity: though in a dream he gets shot by Murdoc, apparently in the chest, near his heart, he falls through the barricade and lands on the ground below. It turns out his knife was a life-saver.
Humanity: takes one in the shoulder.
Trail of Tears: takes one in the left side again. This is the third time he has been shot in the left side.
Good Knight MacGyver: again in a dream MacGyver takes a headshot.
The Stringer: bullet grazed him in the arm causing him to fall into the cargo hold and land on some crates breaking his arm.
