Embarrassingly Dumb Ways People Died - Darwin Awards Winners [Part 5]

sometimes it really does seem like the world is getting Dumber that may be partly due to the fact that our incredible social systems of medicine community and welfare have effectively wiped out natural selection for us humans but every once in a while someone worthy of a darwin award removes himself from the gene pool like a deer with a penchant for highway jogging join me now as I take a look at some of the most mind-bogglingly dumb ways people have died leap of faith in May of 2019 a car chase left a criminal and a tough spot the Brooklyn man was wanted for a carjacking when he made his first dumb move crashing into a police car triggering eyes bjs his second and most lasting mistake came later after the pursuit left him trapped between multiple pursuing police cars on the Brooklyn Bridge rather than hand himself over he went with the grand theft auto method he assumed that jumping over the railing down to the ground below would allow him to escape with little more than a scratch or two so over he went and while he did indeed get away he did so in a body bag remember your roots there are many embarrassing ways to die but falling victim to the wrath of a root vegetable has to be near the top went out on a hunting trip in 1881 British politician Sir William pan Galloway entered the annals of ridiculous history when he slipped and fell onto a turnip the turnip renowned by his fellow turnips as a violent brute caused severe internal injuries to the politician and he died that day aged 74 turns out vegetables aren't so good for you after all world's longest breath holder I could think of better ways to spend a Saturday night than a breath-holding contest but apparently boredom was at an all-time high for a New Jersey man in August 2018 rather than holding the competition between friends on the safety of dry land the man decided to hold his breath underwater on Lake st. Clair in Georgia 7 minutes passed before anyone noticed anything was wrong in this time the undisputed winner of the contest had fallen unconscious and drown proving that real winners never give up cigarette burns hospitals are usually safe places for treatment and recovery but a questionable decision made by an elderly lady in halter Nam si Germany brought a quick end to her own treatment plan in 2018 the lady who was wheelchair-bound from sickness wheeled herself outside for a nice relaxing smoke she seemed to forget that she was wearing an oxygen ventilator which ignited when she lit her cigarette setting fire to the plastic upholstery of her wheelchair she was engulfed and deadly flames and scorching plastic and died soon after everyone knows smoking is bad for your health but usually its effects aren't so explosive not the bees picture this relaxing scene you're lying down on a comfy massage table enjoying some nice therapeutic music when someone forcibly stings you with multiple bees surprisingly this is something people willingly go through on a regular basis supposedly to relieve stress and muscle tension and is a form of alternative medicine known as life bee acupuncture all the bees that are used die in the process but in 2018 they finally get their own revenge you see every time a person is stung by a bee their chances of suffering an allergic reaction increase but for one woman who was unaware of this fact her reaction came as a total surprise after having the treatment so many times the woman immediately lost consciousness following one of the stings and soon died of a severe allergic reaction don't mess with bees Nic Cage knows this and so should you escalator to heaven you've heard of the stairway to heaven but what about the fast-track version the only catch is you never actually get to the top this is the faith that met the guitar player from a heavy metal band whose name is so obscene YouTube would implode if I were to say it a musical career dedicated to causing as much controversy as possible culminated in a rather I'm climactic and when he attempted to ride his way along the rail of an escalator he lost his balance plummeted over the edge and died on impact his head struck a foodcourt table presumably turning some unfortunate kids happy meal into a horror meal taking selfies to new heights some people go to great lengths for that perfect selfie but apparently these great links should never exceed 99 feet the world learned this fact in 2018 when a British woman and her Australian boyfriend were found dead on the beach in Portugal piecing the evidence together police concluded that the couple had been sat atop a 100 foot wall overlooking the beach when they trapped the phone they'd been snapping vacation pics on they both reached to grab the phone which had landed on a Ledge just below them unfortunately they both lost their balance and plunged the full distance to the ground below as if to symbolize technology is inevitable takeover of the human race the phone the couple gave their lives trying to save remained on the wall unscathed trouble in the tub we're taught from a young age that water and electricity don't mix but for some people miss never quite sinks in for some the comfort of having an electronic device on hand at all times overrides the need to you know remain alive a Londoner learnt the error of this mindset in 2017 when he tried charging his phone while in the bath as he relaxed in the tub he balanced an extension cord on his chest keeping it out of the water what happened next is unclear but the situation isn't too hard to fathom whether he slipped or whether he absent-mindedly dunked his phone in the water he was killed by the ensuing shock fussy eater everybody loves the hearty goodness of a home-cooked meal assuming at least one person in the house can cook but renowned mathematician kurt gödel took his love of his wife's home cooking to ridiculous levels despite her perhaps because of his brilliance is a mathematician Vidal was an extremely paranoid man his paranoia grew to the point where in his later years he refused to eat anything that hadn't first been tasted or prepared by his wife believing himself to be at the center of a poisoning plot when his wife was hospitalized for six weeks in 1977 and hence was unable to cook for her husband Goodell stopped eating by the end of January 1978 he had died of malnutrition weighing only 65 pounds when he died in the end through his desperation to avoid being murdered he was the one responsible for his own death it really goes the show if you want something done right do it yourself hungry for more while some dumb deaths are caused by no eating at all occasionally someone will kick the bucket because of the total opposite in this case the bucket was filled to the brim with sticky delicious sweet rolls Adolf Fredrik King of Sweden from 1751 to 1771 wasn't a particularly good King he was regarded as lacking the aptitude fortitude and integrity necessary for successful kingship but what he lacked as a king he made up for with his appetite he was a lover of food with a sweet tooth and it could never be said that his eyes were bigger than his belly but why the amount of food he consumed on his last meal in February 1771 did exceed the limitations of his large belly he finished it nonetheless after a heaping feast of seafood sauerkraut and champagne he moved on to dessert this consisted of no less than fourteen Swedish sweet rolls all dipped in hot milk flavored with cinnamon and raisins while he was reportedly stockpiling for the Christian tradition of Lent he clearly overshot his mark as his digestive system completely shut down and he died just goes to show death by cake isn't as sweet as it sounds a cut above the vest nobody wants to be conned when making a purchase indeed being sold a stab-proof vests that offers the protection of a wet noodle is hardly an ideal scenario but it should go without saying that testing the stab ability of such man should be done with at least one qualifying factor taking the vest off first unfortunately that first rule of stab Club whistled in one ear through the empty skull cavity and out the other ear of one Englishman in 2018 mistakingly believing his jacket was Stan approved the man took a knife and plunged it into his jacket while at the kitchen table it turned out the jacket wasn't stab-proof and funnily enough neither was he before I get to the dumbest death magnets of the Bunch let's take a look at some contenders who somehow managed to avoid qualifying for a Darwin Award by surviving their stupidity this electrician clearly trained with the best because after all there is no better insulator than a nice cool puddle of muddy water another top of the class graduate of the elite electrician's Academy is this fellow who's also in on the secret that water and electricity are actually a great mix but the rubber industry doesn't want you to know that for any Darwin Award nominees watching that was a joke anyway this next close contender seems to be pulling a prank with a fuel depleted chainsaw held alarmingly close to his nether region well at the risk to reward ratio of this particular prank earns this guy a firm position in the at risk Darwin award survivors club that's just no place for a chainsaw joke or not the final address survivor is this fellow who let rage overcome any shred of rational thought while his friend drives he takes the noble position of car puncher hanging out of the car window and attacking the hard walls of another vehicle with his bare hands like the genius he so clearly is as his car swerves he accidentally opens his door and tumbles gracefully onto the highway Hayley's Lee stuck the landing know if this is his reaction to a bit of road rage I feel like his Darwin award isn't too far away over the horizon a bridge too far video games movies and TV shows have led us all to believe that clearing a rising drawbridge and a car is a viable feat it isn't but that realization never occurred to a couple of wannabe Texan stuntmen who put their inflated senses of their own abilities to the test in May 2019 witnesses reported seeing a car's passenger lift the barrier of the black bayou drawbridge in Louisiana before the car sped off of the rising ramp now admittedly some people do occasionally survive these jumps like this distracted driver who didn't even realize the bridge had begun to rise before cruising over the top to the other side but these people are the minority and should be taken as representative of the majority because the majority like our Texan friends follow a learning curve that's steeper than the downward path of their car however any learning was short-lived in this case as the Texan pair were trapped in their car after it failed to make the jump to the other side they sank and soon drowned put simply they were neither fast nor furious enough which Darwin Award winner do you think was the stupidest do you know of any more ridiculously dumb ways people died let me know in the comments section down below thanks for watching [Music]
