Embarrassingly Dumb Ways People Died - Darwin Awards Winners [Part 4]

the advancement of civilization has given a fighting chance to those whose lack of awareness might have got them killed in the past but there are some people that make such terrible decisions even the achievements of the modern world can't keep them alive let's dive into some unbelievably dumb ways people died earning themselves a Darwin Award for natural selection garbage day no one likes having to take out the trash for collection we usually expect to find ourselves carried up alongside our garbage but for Diego Matta a combination of heavy drinking and dumpster diving led to exactly that one fateful evening in March 2019 CCTV footage taken on the night in Rosemont Illinois entertainment district captured the 31 year old drunkenly climbing into a dumpster around 4:00 a.m. an hour later the garbage truck arrived tipping the contents of the dumpster including meta and to its powerful mechanical jaws Matty's body was later recovered from a sanitation facility where he was found to have

you don't know how to swim you should probably learn before doing ocean water sports unfortunately this didn't occur to Jerry vicen july 2019 when he took to the sea in the jet ski purchased mere hours earlier despite his desire to have a wild time in the water device never learned to swim so when he lost control and flipped his new toy he was thrown into serious peril within moments to see it overwhelmed him he drowned when you're in Poseidon's house it pays to be respectful because he could be one remorseless son of a Titan deadly hydration tina Kristofferson was an extremely intelligent woman with a reported IQ of 189 unfortunately irrational fear affects even the smartest minds and a specific fear of stomach cancer was responsible for Tina's demise she'd seen her mother suffering agonizing death from the disease which drove her to obsess over avoiding that fate for herself she became convinced that she could avoid stomach cancer by intermittently fasting for extended periods in which she would only consume water during these fasts she would drink as much as four gallons of water a day the extended strain of this practice pushed her kidneys into failure causing water to migrate to her lungs despite being on solid ground the water and Tina's lungs caused her to drown in the end her neurotic desperation to avoid death at in fact killed her so remember kids stay hydrated but not too hydrated okay black death dining luckily most of us will never have to suffer the disease that wiped out around half a European population in the 14th century I'm talking of course about the Black Death or bubonic plague which is caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis the disease is spread by fleas carried by rodents and while we can treat it with antibiotics now it's symptoms spread fast and are extremely painful deadly and highly infectious over the years we figured out that and among other methods to avoid ending up covered in using buboes and gangrene it helps to avoid touching wild rodents but not only did a Mongolian couple miss the memo in May 2019 they took their ignorance to the next level by consuming the raw kidney of a rodent known as a Marmot believing the meat to be good for their health consuming it actually gave both of them bubonic plague not only did they both die they caused a 6 day quarantine of locals and tourists who had come into contact with a couple clearly there are worse ways to make people suffer from your eating habits than microwaving stank of fish in the office break room I'd take stinky seafood or pungent cheese over deadly bacterial rodent disease any day pain in the neck on a cold night in September 1927 famous French American dancer Isadora Duncan was preparing for an evening out in a French sports car on their parting another friend implored Isadora to put a warm cape over her shoulders as the open-top car would run a substantial breeze during the drive he's the door decided that some stylish NetWare would be sufficient so she wrapped a long flowing silk scarf around her neck and was ready to go the driver began to drive off while he's a door said what would indeed be her final goodbyes but to the horror of her own looking friends the scarf was whipped up in the wind and drifted over the edge of the car it had soon wrapped itself around the open spokes of the vehicles wheels and was rapidly pulling ease a door onto a shorter and shorter leash she was yanked out of the vehicle into the road and under the car the wheel ran over her neck breaking it instantly and she was left wedged in between the wheel and mudguard a gruesome end and a timeless example of the dangers of putting fashion first the bad boys burning bed Charles the bed certainly lived up to his name during his reign as king of Navarre between 1349 and 1387 he was a big fan of cruelty deception and murder Either carried out by his own hands are those of assassins oh boy here I go killing again but his life of narcissism backstabbing violence and hatred took its toll and by the time he was 54 his health had deteriorated to a point where he could barely move his limbs with death looming closer by the day his doting physicians armed with the highest calibre of medical knowledge at the time which basically amounted that nothing at all tried one final experimental method to restore his health like some sickly royal Christmas pudding they wrapped him up tightly in linen cloth that had been soaked in brandy hoping the strong alcohol would restore some vigor unfortunately the servant tasked with stitching the linen together found she'd used more thread than needed for the process but instead of cutting and knotting the extra at the end she decided to burn it with a candle the alcohol caught a light and the king went up in flames burning to death shortly after whether the servant was a bumbling idiot or trained assassin Charles made a fatal mistake in going along with such unusual and hazardous practices practices that would leave him more than a little hot under the collar the dangers of fast food everybody knows too much fast food is bad for us but in his last moments on earth Charles would junior have felled a City Missouri learnt the real dangers of the drive through experience would placed his order at at local jack-in-the-box and pulled up to the collection window reaching out of his car window he realized he was too far away to take his food from the restaurant worker and open his car door stretching out to grab his meal unfortunately in doing so he rested his foot on the accelerator of his car the car was in Reverse and was sent barreling backwards into a tree Wood was sandwiched between the two objects and later succumbed to his injuries the lesson here never order past food especially if you're the type to use the accelerator as a footrest dog's dinner you'd think that an esteemed respected philosopher who made great progress in our understanding of what it means to exist would be met with an esteemed respectful land but for ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus this was far from the case though he had spent his whole life thinking and reflecting he really should have thought harder about his self prescribed cure when he developed dropsy dropsy involves the accumulate have fluid under the skin and inside the cavities of the body and is often a symptom of serious lung heart or liver diseases according to sources from the time Heraclitus came to the conclusion that burying himself in a shed full of cow manure would help draw out some of the fluid by warmth unfortunately Heraclitus was unable to get himself free after hours spent in the donkey band and his trapped steak was unable to defend himself when a pack of dogs came sniffing around they devoured him alive despite that notably pungent aftertaste it's a bit nutty pillow Armour we've all made up some pretty ridiculous excuses to get out of things but one turkish man in july 2019 went way beyond the regular sorry boss I'm sick totally not hungover or anything after being sentenced to community service for wounding someone in the fight Zafar Kazu decided that he just didn't feel like doing it so he and his friends hatched an brilliant plan by strapping two pillows to his back for protection and getting his friends to shoot him with a shotgun Zafar hoped he'd be just injured enough to get out of community service it worked he certainly never had to do community service again because he died almost instantly on top of that his friend was injured from the blast - and was also charged with his friend's murder yep humans can really be that dumb holding it in when you gotta go you gotta go it's the opening line of every religious text ever written take my word for it but in 1601 a Danish astronomer and Alchemist called Tycho Brahe he chose to disobey this great negative wisdom he's mostly remembered for his comprehensive collection of empirical observations about the stars in space but perhaps the most astronomical thing he ever encountered was the size of his bladder following his final meal you see tanka was a stickler for the rules of being a nobleman to the extreme while enjoying a feast the astronomer found himself needing to use the little boy's room which was at the time little more than a hole in the floor however through Tycho's interpretation of noblemen etiquette he convinced himself it would be incredibly rude to leave feast for such a vulgar act of urination so he remained in place for several hours only to be able to relieve himself on his return home but he found that he was only able to pee in very short agonizing spurts within a few days he was dead holding it in too long Atletico's bladder to burst resulting in a very painful death rather than worrying about both his P's and Q's perhaps he should have just stuck to the Pease kill it with fire in may 20 19 a 63 year old man discovered that his basement was infested with bugs fancying himself a bit of a DIY exterminator he located the source of the infestation and entered the crawlspace with a propane torch in hand shooting flames willy-nilly like a dragon with allergies he soon found that more than the bugs were catching a life as the flammable materials lining the crawlspace caught a light he found himself unable to stop drop and roll as the space was far too tight for such gymnastics and he was burned to a crisp in the process he also caused sixty thousand dollars of damage to his house but hey at least the bugs are gone right smack-talking the Gators while it's true that some people can't help being stupid other people are willingly stupid with an infuriating dash of arrogance thrown in after a ten-foot alligator had been spotted in a Texas marina stabbed put up a warning sign this was not enough to scare off one local man on a night in July 2015 and neither were the repeated verbal warnings issued by a marina employee the employee looked on in horror as the man responded with the alligators and jump straight into the marina almost immediately he screamed out for help but it was too late within minutes the man was floating motionless face down on the surface dead clearly alligators take profanity very seriously how that hypnotized an elephant if you're an animal hypnotist and training test your skills on your cat or a neighbor's dog or even a zoo animals safely behind protective glass don't try to hypnotize a wild elephant it seems unbelievable but in January 2019 a Sri Lankan man did exactly that the man was traveling with his family when he spotted the huge animal grazing in a field he approached the animal getting its attention and got closer and closer until the elephant charged hoping to hypnotize the elephant back into placidity the man performed a sudden hand gesture and stood his ground unfortunately this worked about as much as you'd expect the elephant trampled the man to death while his family looked on in horror the mistake was clear he forgot his hypnotist pendant I'm sure he would have been just fine if he started swinging one of those it's not like giant wild tusk beasts are dangerous after all where he was blown away as I was by the unbelievable stupidity that led to some of these people's untimely demise have you heard of any other Darwin award worthy cases let me know
