Have you ever wondered how hail is formed? Or just how big it can get? We learn how the IBHS Research Laboratory is using 3D printers, sophisticated potato guns, a sky-diving chamber, and other state-of-the-art equipment to help unravel the mystery of how on earth such large hailstones form… and how we can reduce the damage they cause.
