The "Don't try this at home" warning is because that unlike helium, Sulfur hexaflouride will not empty completely from your lungs, it's too heavy and cannot be forced out without special precautions (which I am sure the mythbusters took). Having your lungs party full of inert gas that does not contain oxygen is bad

Got it in one. Hook your knees over something and tip upside down, exhale hard a few times, repeat if necessary.
