As a special holiday gift, we dove into the engineering behind a modern'ish Christmas classic: Home Alone!!

 

Kevin McCallister, less well known as Macaulay Culkin, sets up tons of traps for two less than capable burglars to bumble through as he protects his house. But would these traps actually work? And just how dangerous are they?
