Is it possible for humans to walk in a straight line?

Actually the runway was for the driving (golf cart) test - walking was done in a field (which was a bit odd, as it was a grassy field, and while mostly level, probably had some bumps and dips in it - walking along the relatively smooth runway would have been better (unless the concrete slab joints could be readily felt by the walker, thereby acting as a guide).

That’s right…it was a field for the walking test…thanks for the correction.

None-the-less, this Mythbusters episode did in fact address the OP’s question very well, and the answer is NO (as confirmed as anything can be on Mythbusters with a sample size of…2 - they should have at least gotten the build team, and maybe some students from the local schools - which they have done before - e.g. the Archimedes Mirror ‘death ray’ againt a wood-ship invasion - and with a quick montage showed us that a large sample of people can’t walk straight blindfolded)

At least they did try multiple times each (I think it was three) to show that a person isn’t even consistent with how they wander.
