Embarrassingly Dumb Ways People Died - Darwin Awards Winners [Part 17]

It can't be, is it really that time more

people

are actually withdrawing from the Jean Pool in increasingly stupid and embarrassing

ways

? I guess otherwise I wouldn't be ready to present to you

part

17 of this series. and I'm not even halfway through all the stories I've found, from silly diving attempts to self-righteous stupidity, it's time to take a look at even more Darwin Award

winners

: what helmet if you ride a motorcycle or bicycle, heck , even a scooter, you should wear a helmet, seriously, head against the pavement at high speeds is not a fight that ends well for any head, disagree with me, well this next award winner might help you change your mind In 2011, the streets of New York were filled with approximately 550 cyclists protesting the state's mandatory helmet law, an annual protest that has occurred every year since 1977, when the law was introduced,

part

icipating cyclists claimed that mandatory helmet use helmet doesn't result in lower death rates, which is a pretty interesting opinion if you ask me, except this year, while a cyclist was proudly riding his bike without a helmet, he went to hit the brakes when his bike suddenly queued up. of fish, the cyclist went flying over the handlebars and landed head first on the pavement, a medical expert at the scene stated that they had no doubt the cyclist would do it.

They would have survived the incident if only they had been wearing a helmet, oh man that's so perfect I could die from an irony overdose. 32 feet off the floor and nowhere near a wall, so you can't use a ladder. How is this handled? Tell your company that you will need some specialized equipment to replace something as tall as a crane or B. improvise I really hope that most of you said a because B leads to the Darwin Awards as discovered by a man in Japan in 201 17 instead After asking for help, he decided to use a forklift loaded with 37 bars of wood to help him do the job. pallets to reach the bulb it goes without saying that this stack of unsecured wooden pallets was not the most structurally sound thing, so when he asked his coworker to activate the forklift and lift the stack of unsecured pallets, collapsed with our man on top. he obviously he didn't survive the fall.

I bet it really wasn't the lightbulb moment he was expecting because of engine problems. Ah, gravity in my opinion is the best force of attraction between two masses, although I am not sure about this next Darwin Award. The winner would agree In 1990, a thief in Sydney, Australia, set his sights on an old truck parked outside a glass recycling facility. Now the engine of a truck that size is so heavy that it often requires a crane to lift it, but our thief didn't do that. He had a crane, so he decided to use gravity and try to pull pieces out from below.

He crawled under the truck and started loosening the bolts holding everything in place so they would fall, which worked like a charm, unfortunately he was still under it when the transmission fell straight onto his head. Employees at the recycling plant found it the next morning and, to make matters worse, Andrey, they told the police that the old beat-up truck was worthless and that they would have given him everything. something free if you just asked him, man that hurts more than a broadcast to the face, do you have any Darwin Award winning stories of your own? Let me know about them in the comments below and while you're there, why not give them a like? subscribe buttons If you like this part of the Darwin Prize series, you won't want to miss what's coming up in the next few videos, trust me, what story of total idiocy do we have next?

What's inside, there's something strangely satisfying. about cutting up certain objects to see what's inside, for example these are all such colorful golf balls, this is a wasp nest, so many layers and this is a grenade, wait why does it look so messy? Well, that might have something to do with the way he was. Allegedly opened in 2002 a German man discovered an old German hand grenade from World War II and desperately wanted to know what the inside looked like, but instead of taking it to a professional or looking it up in a book, he took matters into his own hands.

With his own hands or technically Vice, yes he clamped this thing in a vise and then took a circular saw to it, however he saw two deep inside that lit the still intact fuse and apparently detonated the grenade showing the world what the interior of a Darwin Prize winner. instead gun ho, okay this is a question for all gun owners. Do you ever forget you're carrying a gun? It may seem silly, but that's exactly what at least one certifiably intelligent person has done in the past and the fact that he's in this video means it didn't end well for him in Brazil back in February 2023.

A lawyer who was also A gun fanatic who often posted photos of himself with his arsenal of weapons on social media, he took his mother to the hospital for an MRI. MRI machines use significant magnetic forces, their full name is literally MRI imaging, so it is important that no one brings anything metallic into the room while the machine is on. This is not an instruction given lightly. MRI rooms have huge warning signs that are impossible to detect. I forgot to order

people

not to bring any metal objects inside, but somehow our man didn't declare or forgot the gun he had hidden in his waistband, which was obviously made of metal, but once the machine was turned on MRI, it became very clear that he had a gun on him because the magnetic force was so strong that he fired the gun and fatally injured the attorney, so in addition to bringing a gun into the room, he also brought it with the safety off.

Wow, the family started trying to blame the hospital for not doing it. Add in properly warning them about the dangers of the MRI, they shut up pretty quickly when the hospital presented safety protocol documents signed by both the lawyer and his mother, confirming that they did not have any metal objects with them before entering the room, so willful ignorance or a huge lapse of memory this lawyer is guilty of dying in an incredibly idiotic way arrest my case wined and dined if someone throws some food or drink that usually means it has spoiled or there is something wrong with it, not al

, although I once found a whole pig on top of a dumpster it was just a little bit, I mean mud, but it kind of added flavor and I was only sick for about 2 weeks afterwards, it was worth it, well, looking back, it was a

decision, so I'm lucky I didn't follow the path of this next award winner in 2004 in Georgia, the country, not the state inspectors had a local landfill who saw something inside one of the compactors of rubbish, it seemed to be a bottle of homemade wine without question.

Our winner reached in and no, this is not a story of death by garbage compactor, our inspector pulled him out and another man proceeded to open the bottle and swallow it, they tried one drink and then another, but something about this wine was wrong. It really didn't taste good. I know this for two reasons: one, someone had thrown it away and two, because it was antifreeze, a toxic chemical that actually blocks the kidneys. Needless to say, both men were poisoned by the toxic chemical once he passed away. Wait, what's that glowing at the bottom of the trash compactor? why it's a Darwin award just for you guzzoline in North Carolina back in 2012 investment investigators arrived at a scene that made them scratch their heads, firefighters had been called to an apartment fire and when they arrived, they found a man inside sitting on a heavily charred and badly burned rug as investigators looked around the scene, trying to figure out the source of the fire when they noticed all the signs pointing to the man on the floor and a sauce jar nearby after chatting.

Some people realized that this was not the man's apartment, but rather belonged to a friend of his who was a mechanic. After chatting with him, it soon became clear to investigators what had happened: her man had been relaxing at his friend's apartment and noticed the J sausage on the table that was filled with a strong-smelling yellowish liquid, thinking it was alcohol. Our man had opened it and poured himself a big drink before realizing it wasn't boo, it was gasoline. His mechanic friend kept an eye on her. to help remove the grease stains from his hands after spitting it out and dripping it on himself, the impact of it all made him reach for a cigarette, can you see where this is going?

Yes, gasoline is notoriously flammable and once he lit his lighter, it accidentally caught fire, so what have we learned? Yes, don't drink mystery liquids unless you want to end up in the next part of this series, that is, who wants a little of this alcohol can bring out the best in people, but more often than not it brings out the worst, which is what happened the next winter back in 2004, late one night in Wales, a young gentleman invited some of his friends back to his apartment after a rowdy night on the town, drunk as a skunk, the party continued when Our Man thought it would be really funny to drop his pants and present his pee to the world while shouting who wants some of this on the street below.

Fortunately, his friends caught him before he could fall out of the window and the next morning he admitted. It had been a pretty stupid thing and it would never have occurred to him to do something like that again, until that same night and our man is once again drunk as a skunk pulling down his pants and shouting who wants any of this for the world, not his friends. , was the response: none of them were close enough to him this time to catch him before he fell out of the three-story window. First and final pee to the D and Hall of Fame award for eating a goldfish.

Have you ever bitten off more than you can chew? I don't mean have you ever taken on more work than you can handle or anything metaphorical like that, I mean literally have you ever taken a bite of food that turned out to be more than you? could chew a guy on the back and not just any guy, a Darwin Award winner, this should be good in 1998, our guy here from Ohio, just in Ohio, was watching his friend clean a fish tank when he noticed that one of the fish was particular. particularly large, about 5 in Long, his friend mentioned that this big fish had actually been eating some of his other fish, so our man decided to give this fish a taste of his own medicine, he would swallow it whole, which He picked it up and hung it up.

He covered his mouth and then sucked it or at least tried to make the fish resist by lodging in his throat and it was so slippery that when he started a joke he couldn't get it out. Our man struggled for several minutes and while his friend tried to help by calling emergency services, neither our prize winner nor the fish survived, although I'm sure the other fish in the tank were grateful for his sacrifice. I'm not entirely sure this is the solution he had in mind. In jumping, there are some people who will do almost anything to reach their adrenaline high, including a man from the United Kingdom who back in 1998 decided he was going to jump off every bridge spanning the river with a unique hobby long after complete this objective.

The adrenaline had yet to be scratched, so he headed toward the buildings overlooking the river, starting with a parking lot. Spectators were taken aback by this guy's nerve and watched as he launched himself off the top of the 70t structure headfirst. There was just one small problem he didn't have. I didn't check the water depth in the section of the river below which turned out to be 3 feet, yes it's safe to say that was a mistake, he could only make steaming buns once if you're the type of person who believes. in spiritualism and magic it is good for you, as long as your beliefs don't hurt anyone else, do what you want, I don't care, however, it would be wise to review your own beliefs from time to time, otherwise you could end up like this the next.

In the winter of October 2017, a spiritual medium in Malaysia was performing a trick during a festival that he had successfully performed on several occasions. Something he called a steaming human, sat on top of a small wooden structure inside a giant pot with water in the bottom along with an assortment of rice, sweet corn and buns, then a large lid was placed over the pot and everything was heated from below with the boiling water steaming both the food and the medium, he claimed that the elaborate ritual was very good for his health except now it was definitely not on this unfortunate occasion after about half an hour the lidShe began to move erratically when her assistants removed her.

The medium was unconscious and covered from head to toe in second-degree burns that no amount of magic could cure. When she returned, it is not known exactly what went wrong and many assume that she fell unconscious and collapsed. against the super hot pot, but honestly, if you're willing to sit in a steam-filled pot that can reach temperatures of 212°F and hope nothing goes wrong. the resulting human Hot Pot is up to you, the Wolf of Fall Street Florida is a pretty strange place, but Tampa International Airport is where some of humanity's strangest specimens can be found, a mix of alcohol on board, lag schedule and Florida does it. the perfect place to find Darwin Award

winners

like this guy in 2013, a man on the seventh floor who had had several drinks and followed them up with an anxiety medication decided, in his drunken wisdom, to open a couple of elevator doors and then he launched.

He headed for the elevator cables in the shaft in an apparent attempt to slide down Tarzan style, except he wasn't Tarzan and instead he dove headfirst down the elevator shaft. This really should have been the end, but the man's embarrassed family were convinced the lift must have malfunctioned - this was despite everyone having seen CCTV footage of him opening the doors before throwing himself to the ground. The well while filing a lawsuit against the elevator company and, by extension, the airport itself, attempted to carry out super damages. This meant that 18 months later, our prize winner was dug up again only for the findings to cement the fact that he was drunk and had used brutality on him. strength to open the doors before falling into Oblivion, so not only will I give our Mana darwi an award, but I will also give his family a prestigious Dar loser award for feeling that it is so difficult to make money.

His death I guess he wasn't the only one that was extinguished, there are some things you should never put inside other things, for example, putting the wrong key in a lock, putting eggs in the microwave or keeping mayonnaise in an ice cream container, without However, while I have done all these things and lived to reap the horrible consequences of my actions. One man went to a completely different level and never recovered in 2017. A welder who worked for the Company for the construction, repair and maintenance of roads and a seleno. Russia noted the similarity in size between the base of a fire extinguisher and the muzzle of a decommissioned artillery accumulator.

This is a weapon that falls somewhere between a cannon and a mortar, so in simple terms it's a very, very big weapon, but he wasn't happy with just putting the fire extinguisher in there, oh no, using his knowledge of the basics of welding, he mixed some calcium carbide with water, the reactive combination of which produces acetylene welding gas after mixing, he threw the combination out of the mouth along with the fire extinguisher, the explosion discarded the The fire extinguisher came out as a projectile improvised or at least that's what the welder thought would happen. What really happened was that the extinguisher exploded breaking the muzzle and extinguisher into hundreds of pieces of shrapnel, most of which ended up in our welder's head.

Just because history can be put in the hole doesn't mean you should put it in the hole. Good rule for life. Trust me for Graham. The dream of every social media expert is for a photo of them to appear online, but a selfie in particular. captured back in 2017 it really took off in a different way in March of that year two young people in Mexico were excited to be at the racecourse in the sovereign state of Chihuahua they decided to take a selfie for social media with the racecourse but because it was built in the Flatlands, They needed some elevation to get the full track in the background, they found the highest point in the area they could and then hopped into a stranger's truck before they started posing, the crowd was cheering loudly as they took several photos, so they Neither of the girls heard the engines of the approaching plane waiting for a plane like a plane, yes, the race track was not the only thing built in these rural Flatlands, there was also a small track next to the track, when The plane landed, descended to the same elevation as the girls, hitting them with the wing and sweeping them both out of the van.

I'd say it was the high point of the day, but since the plane was landing, it was probably a low point one-way ticket, if there is one. What Germany has mastered above any other country is its train system, not only can they take you anywhere in the country but they always arrive on time and they are also incredibly cheap, seriously it costs as little as $20 to take a train direct from Hamburg. to Munich, literally from one end of the country to the other, but this was not enough for a German in 2017. There, for some reason, he decided he had a vendetta against one of the ticket machines outside the horse station.

Dortmund Shore and started planning. to destroy it, so around 2: a. m., after indulging in a few drinks, he started spraying cans of aerosol gas into the machine and clearly his absolute hatred for efficient public transport had clouded his judgment or maybe it was the alcohol because he then turned on the gas . While he was still in front of the machine, the resulting explosion apparently shook the neighborhood, but not so much as this guy that he was thrown backwards and landed on his head with such force that he won a Darwin Award. Well, that's one way to fine the hitter.

I guess lounging on the roof if you are a heavy sleeper like me, you can take a nap almost anywhere in the car, yes on your desk, oh yes on the roof, that sounds a bit dangerous. I'll pass, but not everyone has my superior hazard detection foresight. In the year 2000, a woman and her boyfriend in South Carolina had been smoking devil's lettuce, street greens, spicy old broccoli, if you give them a hint, and decided they wanted to sleep under the stars, did they do it camping? on the floor? No, instead they grabbed their pillows and blankets and headed to the rooftop of the hotel they were staying at that morning.

The boyfriend was not woken up by birdsong but by the police officers' boots when he was going to wake up his girlfriend, he realized. in fact she wasn't there sometime before dawn, she had rolled over in her sleep and fallen from the roof onto the busy street below, hence the police officer's alarm clock, well I guess you could say that euphoria didn't last long, oh Jehovah, yes. If you've ever opened the door expecting to see a pizza delivery man only to find a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses smiling at you, you'll know it's a unique kind of awkwardness, this Christian sect is known for their outreach initiatives that try to convert people. going door Everything delivering religious material;

However, this approach was clearly not effective enough for a Splinter Group back in 2000, as they decided to show how strong their faith was by standing in the middle of a road that took this dedicated display of Faith place on Interstate 55. where members were preaching to drivers stuck in traffic, however, that day the traffic was clearing quite quickly, which one witness did not realize in time while preaching the Good Book, she was not surprised by a revelation, but by a vehicle coming from the opposite direction, well, I don't get any benefit, but even I could see that one is coming in the back seat. doing the deed in unorthodox places, take these next two award winners for example, who in 2017 decided to get down and dirty in the backseat of their SUV near a lake, the cabin started rocking and the good times started rolling, no, literally, the couple was so interested.

To make matters worse, the driver forgot to put the transmission in park and so, in neutral, the truck rolled toward the lake. Clearly, both participants thought that it must be the heavens and the earth that were moving and not them, because even when the truck was submerged, neither of them were moving. They thought, you know, stop. I mean when the water started coming down they at least tried to get out, but they were clearly having a good time so I'm not assuming anything enough to say either of them got out in time. Getting off is a different question, completely super safe, okay, if you're old enough to watch my videos then I think you're ready for the birds and the bees talk, so when is it okay when people love each other a lot? ?

No, if you're my mom and dad, well, maybe that's not entirely relevant. Look, basically, if you don't want to get pregnant or contract nasty diseases, you have to use protection for men. This usually comes in the form of a very thin rubber condom. The coverage of that is going well, you get the idea, in Gujarat, India, back in 2021, a couple found themselves in the mood but neither of them had any protection, so the gentleman got creative after entering a hotel with his ex-fiancé, someone he definitely didn't want to get pregnant, our man decided the best way to secure it was to use glue and not just any glue, a high-powered epoxy resin, after pouring Bing on his private parts and somehow way to do the act, he began to feel bad.

He was rushed to the hospital the next day, however, the toxic epoxy chemicals leaked into his bloodstream and caused multiple organ failure, for which he earned his Darwin Award. I feel like school educational videos usually have a catchy saying at this point, so remember if you want. to do it, don't fake it, Texas is a wild state, especially when it comes to gun laws, it is well known that anyone over the age of 21 does not need a license to openly carry a firearm and a holster there and in As of 2021, the state had more than one million registered guns, the most of any state in the US and half a million more than any other state.

God, with so many guns floating around you, you must be pretty

dumb

trying to try what this next award winner did. One night in January 2023, this idiot walked into a Houston restaurant and pulled out a gun. He was robbing the place. He grabbed the phones and cash of everyone sitting at the tables and waved his gun menacingly before heading for the door, but as he was. An older gentleman sitting behind him snuck out of his booth with his own gun and shot the robber nine times while excessive. This was a bold move as the robber could have turned around and shot back, except he was actually brandishing a fake gun.

Wow, you have to do it. He's missing too many brain cells to think this kind of stunt would end well in Texas, although I guess he's missing a lot more now. Which of these Darwin Prize winners do you think got off most

embarrassingly

? Let me know. in the comments below and see you soon in part 18 thanks for watching
