Embarrassingly Dumb Ways People Died - Darwin Awards Winners [Part 9]

despite all the advancements of modern society people still find ways to fall through the safety nets and put themselves in danger some people are so dumb no amount of health and safety regulations can keep them around past their self-inflicted expiry date so without further ado let's marvel at the unfortunate souls who selected themselves out of the gene pool winning a posthumous darwin award in the [Music] process macho man's downfall we all know a guy who cares more about seeming like the manliest man than his own personal safety but for one unfortunate fellow from pato branco brazil wanting to appear tough resulted in the opposite effect and ultimately his demise when the 48 year old climbed into bed one night he felt a sudden twinge of pain on his leg pulling back the sheets he spotted a brazilian brown spider which upon being joined in bed uninvited had bitten him these little critters might not look as scary as some of our planet's other arachnids but their venom packs a seriously painful punch if left untreated brazilian brown spider bites can lead to infections and serious health problems for this man though despite the intense pain the other symptoms weren't so obvious at first not that he paid his symptoms any mind anyway as despite his family's insistence he refused to get the bite checked out by a doctor within a matter of days however his body had begun to swell up his legs became virtually unresponsive and his kidneys began to fail by the time he finally put his ego aside it was too late he died in the hospital leaving behind a clear lesson to all macho man you can help muscle many things in life brother but a vitamin spider might ain't one of them gnarly bale dude there's nothing wrong with being a thrill seeker just as long as the thrills you seek aren't laced with total stupidity unfortunately the thrills this next darwin award recipient sought out contained lethal doses of idiocy far exceeding the government's daily recommendations of a single spoonful while hitting the slopes at bogus basin in idaho one snowboarder decided the allocated ski areas just weren't exciting enough and decided to up the throw factor in a supremely stupid way without taking any precautions to check for traffic he decided to attempt to jump over the main road leading to the top of the mountain unfortunately this particular road happened to be in regular use but the bird brain border attempted to clear it anyway but when the trick proved to be an utter failure the snowboarder didn't just have the embarrassment to contend with he also had the suv coming directly at him with no time to react and nowhere to swerve to worry about but he didn't have to worry for too long because he wasn't wearing a helmet and the impact the suv made was so severe it killed him almost instantly gnawley holy moly there are many things that can go wrong in a burglary attempt the homeowners might catch you in the act there might be an angry doberman with a taste for burglars waiting for you inside you might even fall through the ceiling 24 feet to the floor below well that last one is a little less likely but it's exactly what happened to one burglar in nevada in 2019 while trying to cut himself an entry point into the roof of a hair salon in carson city he lost his footing falling straight into the hole he just made with the ceiling being over 20 feet high as he fell the burglar must have been hoping he'd land in the comfort of a barber's chair rather than on an upturned pair of scissors but neither outcome occurred as instead he crashed straight down onto the cold hard floor and was killed instantly needless to say there are better ways to get a free haircut and none of them involve cutting holes in ceilings having a blast there are many ways a person can annoy their neighbors when living in a small apartment complex loud music annoying pets and parties are the usual problems but for an apartment block in tear spoil moldova one problematic neighbor made a bang that was more than just noisy on a quiet afternoon in february 2019 residents of the apartment complex were suddenly met with an almighty boom as glass exploded out from one apartment window into the street below the emergency services were called to investigate when police arrived the apartment block's gas was shut off as it was initially assumed a gas leak had caused the explosion but as the police began to piece the mystery together a gas explosion was quickly ruled out in favor of something much more ridiculous it turned out the owner of the apartment in which the explosion had occurred was somewhat of a military enthusiast he had a large assortment of weapons in his room including grenades and had somehow managed to set one off while perusing his collection the blast from the hand grenade obliterated his apartment but miraculously left the rest of the complex largely untouched unsurprisingly though the grenade toting apartment owner himself was very much dead when the police arrived hand grenades not even once felt cute might delete myself certain people will go to great lengths nowadays for the perfect instagram photo opportunity after all how are people going to know how much fun their lives are without plastering it all over social media sarcastic though my tone maybe this mindset is very much real for some folk and what's more desperation for a great pick at any cost has forcibly removed a select few from the gene pool in recent years one such case happened to a student at fordham university in new york back in 2019. late one night she and her friends had the not-so-bright idea to climb an off-limits clock tower on campus hoping to snap a few insta-worthy picks at the top but whether it was the excitement of a photo op or just the darkness of the evening during the ascent the student made a fatal mistake somehow she managed to fall out of an open alcove and over the edge plummeting to the lower roof of the building with serious injuries sustained from her fall she died shortly afterwards she did reportedly manage to snap a few pics before falling but she never even got to share them with the world was it worth it unless those picks ever get released we'll never know for sure but i'm betting on a firm now right of your life some ideas are so dumb even just hearing about them makes you feel slightly less intelligent one such idea was brought to life in the city of zavanar in the netherlands in june 2020 a young man and his friend perhaps after watching the televised antics of johnny knoxville bamar jair and co decided to tie a shopping cart to a car and go for a ride clearly pulling the short straw one of them clamored into the cart while the other took the much less treacherous roll of driver as the engine roared into life the cart rider hesitantly stood up in his humble chariot and prepared to feel the wind in his hair while he was reportedly able to engage in this unconventional style of surfing for a little while it wasn't long before the cart began to lose stability before he knew it the shopping cart tamer was buckaroo'd right off traveling at a significant speed and landed in a crumpled heap on the tarmac dying instantly i could never condone partaking in a joyride of this kind but if you're dumb enough to insist at least wear a helmet and protective gear because as this guy learned in the split second before his annihilation high speeds tarmac and human faces are not a pleasant mix is this thing loaded in june 2020 an incident of such outrageous stupidity occurred it would seem more at place in a wacky cartoon than in real life at a birthday celebration in the town of shahopur in the indian state of maharashtra a 28 year old man decided to take a look through the party host's belongings finding what was quite obviously a very real revolver and mistaking it for a toy he jokingly pointed it at himself sensing no danger whatsoever and committed to the gag he pulled the trigger as a gunshot cut through the fun atmosphere of the party guests poured in from other rooms and saw the aftermath it wasn't pretty the guests were left shocked and disturbed by the incident and were forced to confront three very important lessons firstly if you own guns don't leave them lying around loaded when you throw a party secondly don't invite people to your party with less than three brain cells and thirdly even if you suspect a gun to be fake never hold it up to yourself and open fire before you double triple and quadruple checked with the owner treat every gun like it's loaded otherwise at the very least you may ruin a perfectly good party and nobody likes a party pooper rapid exit every once in a while in the process of accidentally removing themselves from the gene pool in spectacularly embarrassing ways people actually end up saving lives for one unlucky man from somalia though saving lives was far from his intention and he somehow managed it anyway the man in question boarded a commercial flight from abdonati international airport in mogadishu somalia on february 2nd 2016 with diabolical intentions his plan it seemed had been to smuggle a laptop on board which was fitted with a bomb and detonated mid-flight bringing the plane crashing down he succeeded in getting the bomb past security and shortly after takeoff prepared for everyone on board's fiery demise the terrorists detonated his device and it exploded according to plan but in a shocking and admittedly kind of hilarious turn of events he blew a hole in the side of the plane right next to him which sucked him straight out into the open air while a couple of other people were injured no passengers died and the plane turned around and landed safely back at the airport all the while the world's unluckiest terrorist was treated to a nice flight of his own straight down to the ground at terminal velocity what was left of him was later scraped off the road near mogadishu and about as dignified and ending as he deserved hematom when in town hit it with a hammer that's the approach one man from the commune of boltoni in romania seem to take to life at least it's the approach he took when investigating a mysterious metal object he found while exploring the fields near his home as you can hopefully understand a hammer is far from the perfect investigative tool for such a purpose but unfortunately not everyone is fortunate to have the baseline level of common sense you and i take for granted the metal object in question was a rusty cylinder that looked something like this which even at first glance should have begun to ring a few alarm bells in his head but those alarm bells remained silent and the air was soon filled with other noises instead first the sound of metal on metal as he took the object back to his home workshop and gave it an investigatory whack with his hammer then the sound of an explosion because the object he'd found and proceeded to hammer was a very old but still very much active bombshell from a past battle on romanian soil with all the grace and decorum of someone trying to tie their shoes with a jackhammer the man was blown to smithereens in the most literal sense of the phrase he wasn't a bright spark in life but he certainly wasn't death light refreshment what's your favorite food pizza pasta sushi barbecue feel free to share yours down in the comments below but whatever yours is i'm sure you take great pleasure in eating it and why wouldn't you food is great but it's more than that it's essential for our continued survival most people never forget this fact of life but once swiss woman chose to well simply ignore it when she ventured forth on an incredibly questionable spiritual journey back in 2011. after watching a documentary about an indian guru who allegedly survived for 70 years consuming no food living off sunlight alone the woman decided to try her hand at the challenge now you might be thinking but what if the documentary was lying and you'd be right to do so because that tale was almost certainly little more than a myth or at the very least an exaggeration as the whole idea goes against every shred of evidence biological science presents us with but what does science matter when you have faith right well that's the viewpoint this woman adopted and she decided to stop eating and drinking all together when that proved too tough she began drinking water again but continued to resist food after a few weeks of the practice she was found in her apartment debt of starvation it shouldn't need to be said but no matter how much you believe otherwise the human body needs food to keep living once your body runs out of food it begins digesting itself eventually this stops the vital organs from functioning and death soon follows if there's a legitimate way to get around it the scientific world is yet to see compelling evidence of it one thing that is certain though is that this swiss woman's death was a failed attempt to make a somewhat pointless statement but anyway is anyone else feeling hungry all of a sudden big bad birdie despite what you might believe dinosaurs still exist not in the form of giant t-rex is granted though their current forms can be just as scary case in point this bizarre creature known as a cassowary found across indonesia and northeastern australia it's one of the largest birds on earth reaching up to six feet tall and weighing as much as 130 pounds if you don't believe my dinosaur claim just check out their claws scary right well it's those four inch long claws that make up the focal point of this next tale of one man's unfortunate yet avoidable demise while cassowaries are certainly fascinating to look at they're known for being incredibly territorial this is something one florida man should have been aware of considering he bred them on his property near gainesville but for reasons unknown one day the breeder let his guard down while walking in the enclosure housing one of his cassowaries in a stroke of misfortune he fell and seeing an opportunity to attack that cassowary left forth with those dagger-like claws had the breeder been smart like this guy he would have taken something into the enclosure to put between the burden himself in the event of an attack anything to absorb some of the powerful kick's impact and most importantly keep those claws away from his vulnerable body would have made all the difference but unfortunately that wasn't the case the bird overpowered the unlucky breeder and kicked him to death it's certainly a tragedy and proves that around dangerous animals letting your guard down even once can be a death sentence but on the other hand i would argue that killed by a living dinosaur is a pretty cool thing to have on your gravestone digging an early grave you don't need to look far on the internet to see examples of people with dangerous jobs throwing all safety measures to the wind like this guy who successfully completed his digging unharmed in spite of his very unstable looking diy support beams or this genius whose choice of propping tools are one sudden movement away from crumbling like breadsticks with a side of crushed human for dipping not everyone is so lucky however and it turns out the most dangerous type of support beam is none at all that was precisely the construction style chosen by one man in 2018 when he decided to dig a tunnel into a sand dune at a beach in saint augustine florida he wormed his way several feet into the side of the sand dune and seemed to be having fun until his unsupported makeshift tunnel suddenly collapsed on him the collapse covered him in several feet of sand suffocating him and the sudden shock triggered a fatal heart attack finishing him off and that folks is why even these types of support beams are better than none at all when it comes to digging yourself out of or into trouble reptile road trip no matter how many people fall victim to agonizing and often fatal bites people just don't seem to get the message to not mess with snakes like the bizarre indian trend of snapping selfies with cobras or this florida man whose decision to kiss a venomous water moccasin temporarily turned his face into a marshmallow but even those folks are basically einstein level geniuses compared to one man from the kuala lumgat district of malaysia who took a wild python for a motorcycle ride in january 2018. having passed the 11 foot long reptile on his return from work he grabbed a pair of gloves and a sickle from home before returning to catch it while his motivations for doing so remain unclear he picked up the snake holding it by its head to avoid being bitten and hopped back on his motorbike shortly after beginning their road trip however the snake began cooling around at chauffeur before long it had constricted enough to pull him off his bike and despite passersby attempting to pull him free the python had soon squeezed all of the life out of him so if you ever take a reptile on a road trip take it in a nice car because if this story is anything to go by pythons really seem to hate riding motorbikes do you know of any local stories of people removing themselves from the gene pool in spectacularly stupid ways send yours over via email to stories bmas.com for a chance to be featured with
