2:47 y’know, as a person who’s OSHA certified and working in this part time, you can attach a cage to the forklift to raise a worker on it for these things, but they have to be harnessed to it, the cage must be secured, and the driver can’t move anything but the forks when someone is on it. Yeah, palettes are a horrible idea
We had a special forklift for lifting people. It physically wouldn't move if the basket was raised... Apparently they need to make more of those things.
I worked on a dock where the boot used to secure the cage to the fork truck was damaged and useless. The maintenance manager wouldn't order what was needed to repair it. We were forced to use it anyway. Don't work for Tyson Foods.
I have a few years of warehouse work under my belt. Pallets become warped and broken to the point where some of them will NOT stack properly. Those heavy duty pallets aren't just something to throw around for funzys. 20lbs / 60lbs per pop depending on your industry and supplier. That guy was doomed and was no doubt covered with scrapes horrific bruising amoung other things. What a way to go out. Eek.
I have one for Darwin Award. In 2007 the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl. The night they won we had a Snowstorm here in Indy. A man went to a Colt Sports bar in Indy to watch the game and made the unfortunate decision to drive home drunk that night after the game. The area on way to his home is in wealthy Carmel, Indiana which is rural with large estates. On way home the man's car got stuck in a snow drift. He lived a few miles away and decided to walk home abandoning his car. He was reported missing the next day and police found his car. The NEXT day a hunter found his body. What happened the drunk man walked through the woods on his way home and became disoriented by the snow storm. He walked right off the ledge of a rock quarry falling about 30 feet to the ground where the hunter found him dead. The lesson once again is don't drive drunk, abandon your car in a snow storm and try walking home in a snow storm drunk.
I have a Darwin Award from 1982. An acquaintance of my husband decided to string up a dummy for Devil's night using wire on a high-voltage line that fed into the local iron ore mine. Someone called the fire department as the field appeared to be on fire. It was the acquaintance burning up as the wire he used hit the high-voltage line. There wasn't much to recover.
Yea, he was dead before he even knew what happened. I knew a dude who was digging and hit a high voltage line and it only took about a second and a half. Always get a survey if you're digging deep ANYWHERE near civilization.
I knew exactly where the gun story was going the second he mentioned the MRI. I doubt the man forgot he had a gun on him, being that he always had one on him, and he likely just didn't want to give it up. If that's truly the case, he definitely earned that award.
What I can't figure out is why he was in the MRI room in the first place. No one but the patient is allowed in the room when the MRI is on. (I have had quite a few MRIs and the technicians skedaddle out as quickly as they can before the machine is turned on.)
@@happydays1336 The only good reason I can come up with is if there was a child in the tunnel that wanted a parent in the room. Other than that... I have no clue what so ever.
I had a great great uncle go out in spectacular fashion. This happened in either the 40s or 50s. He got drunk at the bar and decided to walk home. He got tired and decided to take a nap. On train tracks. The buzzards found more of him than the family did and it’s quite the legend in our family now.
That is what happened to the famed "Hooker Man" of Sussex County in New Jersey. Its hook-handed ghost roams the tracks with a lantern & has been spotted by countless people for decades, including my cousins, who claim they once foolishly taunted it and were chased by it.
I actually remember reading a story about a guy in Arizona back 1987 who decided to blast a saguaro cactus with his shotgun. After two blasts, the cactus broke in half and fell on the guy. It wound up crushing him to death. If he hadn’t died, he would have been facing legal trouble since saguaro cacti are legally protected in Arizona
19:50 As a german i found the statement: "...they are always on time" hilarious! Theres a german meme that the DB (Deutsche Bahn...German Trains) are always running late xD
Same, that made me laugh out loud. Luckily nobody else is home at the moment. DB and punktual... what a goal. PS: BahnMining by David Kriesel is great for this.
Whilst doing some DIY bungee jumping off of a 140ft high, stone railway arch, I almost got a Darwin award. Anyone who's done a bungee jump knows that you swing front to back. On the back swing, the bungee cord recoiled me into the underside of the stone arch, fracturing my skull. To give you some idea how I use to roll as a kid, I've also driven under a parked car at 50mph on a home made go cart. Accidentally set the house on fire. Got electrocuted twice. And at 13, had already blown myself up with DIY fireworks....twice. My mum said "it was the proudest day of her life that I made it to adulthood."

@@BloodThirstyAvengers Okay, so if you're "downplaying" human intelligence, why bring up suicide? As a matter of fact, why structure your comment in a way that makes it seem like you're mocking people who commit suicide? Someone committing suicide, for whatever reason, and someone dying as a result of doing something incomprehensibly stupid are not the same thing. You should really take a closer look at your comment.
@@Koji-Alistairthere’s a major difference between suicide and a darwin reward. Darwin rewards happen because of stupidity but suicide happens during rough time.
When helmet laws were introduced hospitals saw a rise in head trauma injuries. Because now more people were surviving the head trauma instead of just dying.
When riding a motorcycle, the odds are heavily stacked against you. I'm not saying you CAN'T be saved by wearing a helmet, heck, my grandfather laid his motorcycle down after hitting a dog that ran out in front of him many years ago and walked away with just some road rash. But during my time as a volunteer firefighter, I saw more than a few motorcycle involved crashes and in not one call that I responded to did the person on the motorcycle survive, despite wearing a helmet. The bottom line is yes, wearing a helmet MIGHT save your life, but the odds of it aren't great. If you just lay the bike down like my grandfather did, your odds are pretty good, but if you hit something and get launched off the bike, not so much. One call I responded to, the person driving the motorcycle drove straight into a power pole and got launched off the bike square into the pole. Kind of hard to survive with your neck broken and chest caved in and mush from impacting the pole 😳.
@@aperson9495 i have seen the aftermath of motorcycle accidents and my husband's mom was a paramedic. She does not recommend ever getting on one. I plan to heed that advice.
They found similar issues during the First World War when the British introduced helmets, and as a result there were more head injuries than when they used cloth hats.
My father had to drive through some unlit construction at night on his motorcycle, and hit a pylon streight on. His wheel collapsed and the front fork failed, and he got launched, fortunately landing in an open spot. He broke his ankle, and split his helmet, but suffered no other injuries. The doctors were clear that he likely would not have survived without the head protection.
I have similar story as 11:50. In Indonesia at 2017 there’s a person who went fishing after working. He finally got a fish, but it’s a climbing perch. This fish has an ability to stay alive longer in land. He tryna to kill the fish before bringing it home. After failed to killed by throwing and step on it, he decided to bite the fish, but suddenly the fish did the little jump and go to fisher’s mouth. The climbing perch has a sharp fin that stuck on his larynx, causing him to hard breathing and died several minutes later
When I'm scheduling people for MRI's, I tell them "If you won't take your earings out before, the magnet will take them off for you. And if you forget to tell me you have metal inside you, the magnet will remind you.
@@dreametching4052 I can imagine why, appart from medical reasons. could you imagine a kid getting their teeth stuck to a strong magnet. I know I had a magnet from a speaker that problably could have done it as a kid.
Regarding the MRI scanner Darwin Award. I nearly got one of them but instead ended up in A&E for a minor head wound. Long and short of it is I was given a patient gown, the ones with cut out side and normally, no pockets. This gown had a chest pocket. In which I dropped the metal locker key I had been given for a locker I stored my personal belongings+clothes in. Before entering the MRI room a nurse asked me if I had anything metallic on me. I patted my thighs where normally my trouser pockets would be, laughed and said I’ve got no pockets. I was then admitted to the MRI room and laid down on the patient tray as a doctor explained what was going to happen. Well as you can imagine the moment the MRI was switched on the locker key was pulled out of my pocket, bounced off my high cheek bones missing my eye, caught my skin across the forehead tearing it a bit and then glued itself to the MRI machine with a loud bang. Doctor had his hand over the kill switch. The one that would dump the coolant and destroy the very expensive super magnet but stop the machine in an instant. He said he had visions of the key entering my ocular cavity and rattling around the inside of my skull leaving me a vegetable if lucky. As is I put a significant dent in a very expensive machine and got laughed at by the nurses for getting admitted to A&E for a minor head wound when I initially turned up to hospital for a back injury related MRI scan. The flip side is I caused my local hospital to change it’s process regarding patient gowns with chest pockets, metal keys and nurses not just accepting a patient has no pockets because they jokingly said so. I’d like to think my almost Darwin Award prevented someone else definitely getting one. So there you go. You never know when you may be about to be a contender for a Darwin Award so keeps your wits about you. I really should have known better than to absent mindedly drop a metal key into a pocket before going to a MRI scan.
@@jeanettetedesco6748 - it might be difficult picking up very small bits of metal. But they do have something better than an ordinary metal detector... When I had to get a knee MRI years ago they asked me about ferromagnetic parts in my body. As I had got some welding slag into my eye years before and was not sure whether it had all been removed I told them about it. They quickly put me through a head x-ray to check. There were no iron bits left in my eye. Good to check to be sure. Obviously you don't want to x-ray everybody if there is no reason at all to believe that they have ferromagnetic material hidden somewhere inside the body.
I frantically triple check anything i might have on me.. and lest not forget any metal INSIDE you, because of operations for example. If I remember correctly an MRI can rip it out?
4:48 The fact that my grandfathers favourite childhood story is him attempting the exact same thing with the exact same methood at the age of 11 is something else.... The only reason he didnt went through with his plan is that his father heard him turning the saw on, went out to see whats going on and stopped him just in time
Yeah, the only thing I was stopped from attempting to saw open was an alkaline battery. I was considering it but my mom convinced me there's corrosive chemicals in there. A few times I put golf balls in a vice and sawed it open with a hacksaw. I wonder what kind of plastic is inside those?
In the 16th century, a French prince took a bet from his older brother to enter a house riddled with plague saying, "No son of a french king ever died from the plague!" He later died if the plague at 23
I can see why he thought that. It was a common belief even well into the 1800's almost 1900's that rich people believed they can't get sick it was just a poor person disease. Back in those days if you were sick it was blamed on bad air so really if it smelled like garbage, sewage, and any foul odor. Also people refused to take a bath because they thought the dirt and filth was actually good for the skin. I know odd since bad smells they thought made you sick yet also refused to take a bath.
@@SharkBait19904also the whole "Kings are literally blessed by God and therefore at least somewhat invincible" belief that was so popular in Europe around that time. You'd think someone at the time would've asked themselves if better food, access to potable water, warm blankets, shelter and round the clock care and the best "doctors" and the space to quarantine during disease outbreaks was the real reason little kinglets didn't expect to die young like a good peasant did but oh well 😂
Back then the wealthy work works of art but underneath was absolute filth. That is why perfume was invented. To cover the bad smell. For some reason it never occurred to the humans to address the source of the bad smell. Just cover it up. Asians knew better.
@ourtimeco1 reminds me of a sci-fi novel, "Expendable": that one was about these people called "explorers", who were specially trained for "First Contact" situations, and THEIR most common last words were "oh shit."
@@MrAranton Perspective has nought to do with it. Punctuality has a definition which normal, rational people adhere to. It means "ON TIME". Nothing else is appropriate.
@@Tess_Tickal yes it does. Your perspective influences what your definition of „on time“ is. Iirc Germany‘s DB considers a train late when it‘s more than six minutes behind schedule. If you think of it, that‘s nothing, particularly with long distances. If you’re six minutes late after a five hour journey that‘s about 2% of your travel time. Now if you compare this to poorer countries with worse infrastructure - i.e. 90% of the world - being just six minutes behind schedule isn‘t a delay worth complaining about, it‘s frigging awesome! I get there are worse delays than those six minutes. And if you muss your connection, it make little difference by how much you miss it. But that doesn‘t change the fact that compared to most other countries Germany‘s rail system is top notch.
Remember the trend of making a necklace with a bullet hanging from it? We had a solider decide that bigger was better, so instead of a 7.62mm he decided he was going to use a .5”. To mount the bullet it involves drilling out the center of the bullet and filling it with glue. Well unlike its 7.62 counterpart the .5” has an explosive tip. As he drilled out the tip, the explosive detonated, taking off half his hand. Now if he’d only asked a gunner he’d be walking around with intact paws.
A guy witnessed a guy using blasting wire for speakers or something else and powered the wire loop on his lap including the blasting caps still attached to them. I think the guy survived.
(19:40) "If there's one thing Germany has mastered above any other country, it's their train system. ...they are always on time, and they're also outrageously cheap." - Best joke I've ever heard in my life! XD
I don't know why this lie is spreading untill today. People in Germany are so angry at the DB for being always late and expensive ticket prieces while there are so many protests of the DB staff. But any other country thinks Germany is train haven.
I have a Darwin Award from 2017 that was, unfortunately, given to one of the only people who didn't bully me in school due to my high functioning autism and ADHD. This was during summer break before we started 8th grade. The friend in question was out with some of his other friends and decided to go "hood surfing" in a busy parking lot. Hood surfing is an activity where people slide across the hood of random cars and is a stunt commonly performed in action movies. However, he didn't realize that one of the cars he was about to surf was starting to pull out. He slipped and fell off the hood of the car and got his skull crushed under the moving car's tire. He was quickly rushed to the hospital, but still didn't survive. For context, this happened somewhere in Wyoming in the city of Cheyenne. I wasn't there personally, but since the school i went to was in a small town called Burns, news got around fast
I know one too :In 1997, Police in Reston, Virginia, issued a statement saying they had found the body of 22-year-old Eric Barcia, who had apparently died attempting to bungee jump off a 70 foot bridge. Eschewing commercial bungee operations, Eric had apparently taken matters into his own hands and tied several bungee cords together. He strapped himself on securely, tied the other end to the bridge, and jumped, confident in the knowledge that he’d carefully measured out the bungee’s total length - just under 70 foot. Of course, what Eric had forgotten was that bungee cords stretch. At least he got the Darvin reward when he landed😂
This sounds exactly the same as a story that has already been covered by this series ...... at least twice in fact. Only thing I can't remember off the top of my head is if the location is the same but everything else is the exact same.
The drawings always crack me up. Especially the ones when the person looks initially normal before turning completely deranged when an insanely stupid idea is presented.
I’m a neurosurgeon. Since Florida got rid of the mandatory helmet law, deaths from motorcycle head injuries rose 250% and for male riders aged 18 to 25 rose 400%! But you’ll get ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt or texting! Plus, motorcycle drivers only are required to have 10K in insurance. That’s gone in about 15 minutes in the ER! Know what neurosurgeons call motorcycles? “Donorcycles.”
"My freedom!" has caused more deaths in the USA than anything else, especially when you factor in firearms. It must be an incredible feeling of arrogance, to think that your personal freedom to do things takes precedent over people's lives,
Yes the high percentage in younger men is because they all think they need to impress someone or even Moreno the power and adrenaline combined make it hard not to open up some of the super bikes and thus........crash!
I have a darwin award: a wannabe inventor in france at 1912 was test a parachute, instead testing the parachute with a dummy, he used himself so he came to the highest tower in paris and... he jumped 69 metres to his death
My boys resisted helmets for all their non-car travels. What stuck with them was my descriptions of trying to put brain tissue back into fractured skulls in an ED. Yes, I was as graphic as I could be.
They lost their minds. Grey matters. Skull-kenisis. Inertial lobotomy. Two-cycle thinking. Hamburger helper. Brain pasta. The puzzle. Rockwell hardness test. Head over forks in love with the bike. Let me know if I am getting warm.
@@vilefly The anti-helmet fanatics are often magical-thinking that due to their ‘skill’ and ‘luck’ that it couldn’t possibly happen to them. Add alcohol or drugs and stir. They are still wrong. There were only a few I saw in the ED, but unfortunately will never be able to forget.
Well, my friends ride bikes like madman, even after seeing their friend splatter into mush on tree when he lost control going over 300km/h changed nothing on how they ride... Fun fact, they have no issue with helmets because it's needed at high speeds anyway to see and breath easily.
@@wykydytron Yet the most injuries I saw were from relatively low speed collisions with objects and vehicles. Even 40kph is plenty to smash an unprotected human. Dirt bikes, snowmobiles, jet skis, and even pedal bikes all did their share. Interestingly, road bikes were a minority, mostly because they were dead at the scene. If helmeted, the head injuries were very limited. Saw some utterly destroyed helmets tha did their job, apps the skulls were mostly intact, with face and jaw damage only.
@62guitarguy So can a skull. I saw one with a child fallen from a sidebar of a swing. They had to put a plate and screws in the bone to stabilize it after fixing the bleeders. The helmet is sacrificial, like crumple zones on the front of the car, it is meant to break to cushion the head. I have heard every argument against helmet use, and all are wrong. Get the best you can afford and wear it: your handlebar does not need it, you do. Head injuries are no joke.
19:40 I hope you know that Deutsche Bahn is basically known for being always late? There's even a song about it by the Wise Guys, simply called "Deutsche Bahn".
I had a friend, who is now deceased from old age. He was changing the U-joint on his 1973 Buick. So, a pretty heavy, rear wheel drive car. He had put the car up on a set of ramps to gain access to the driveshaft. He figured it was fine in "Park." I saw him a day or two after his....uh...cerebral flatulence attack. His head was a massive bruise. His comment was, "Everything was going fine until I separated the driveshaft from the transmission. Then all hell broke loose. The car rolled back, almost crushing my melon head." Duh!! The car was not injured.
26:38 Here in Texas, people in some areas wont even honk their car horn at other cars for fear that they might have a gun. And then for that guy in the video to actually threaten people in texas with a fake gun, he deserves a platinum darwin award
I take it you don't live in one of the few major populated cities areas like Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio because these cities are constantly showing up on the news for similar incidents. Rural Texans are still polite and have manners because they know most of the people they interact with are packing and know how to shoot, while in major cities people are afraid of guns because they are getting over run by democrats
Concerning the Lawyer at @6:45 the safety being off was the least he got wrong. That firearm had a round in the chamber AND it had been cocked before the safety was even needed. To deliberately take a concealed weapon into a hospital loaded and cocked deserves a self deletion.
@@pathemeleski The chances of any strength magnet moving Just the safety and not sticking to the gun itself would be so negligable that it can be discounted.
As much as I think that would be a great idea, I already know (from looking it up long ago) that Guinness doesn't even look at records that even could be hazerdous to someones health let alone their life.
With the 2 girls at the races :- Either the van was parked in a stupid spot or the plane was landing way short of the airstrip. The plane was less than 15 ft while over a public area and is lucky the van didn't have a nice strong "CB radio" aerial attached to the front bar. Even in those videos of the planes landing over a beach, they are 100 ft at the fence line.
@@kn6123 Have you ever seen the ads showing people in the driver's seat of a truck and asked if there was anything around them, " No, nothing" and they get out and there are cars in that blind spot, people in a different one... The pilot of the plane has an engine in front that puts a major blind spot under the front of the plane. I stand with either tha plane was going to land way short of the landing strip and/or that van was parked in a stupid place on the landing strip. The girls were stupid for either parking the van there or, if not their van, climbing onto the top of someone else's vehicle, possibly pushing in their roof ( criminal damage ).
23:08 Actually, once the bottom of the car door is slightly submerged, the water pressure makes it almost impossible to open the doors until the car is nearly full of water. So it's very possible they might have panicked as the car slowly started filling with water.

The story about the Japanese person trying to fix a light bulb with a stack of wooden pallets and a fork lift, I got a story like that I know actually happened, because it happened at my work place. I work for a school district, and outside contractors were sent to look at a divider curtain for the gym and make adjustments on top on the ceiling where the curtain hanged. They had a cherry picker, but in order to move the cherry picker, they "should" lower the thing first, then move to position, then raise it. It "should" happen every time you move it, also the person going up and down on it "should" have a safety harness incase they fall, but these contractors were apparently in a rush, a guy pushed the cherry picker along while it was still raised and the person inside wasn't wearing their harness. At some moment, the whole cherry picker tipped over and the person inside got severely injured that he didn't live long after the whole thing fell.
@@MrInv13because it used to be true before the 2000s and the privatising of the DB. The system was taken well care of because it was REQUIRED. Not so much today
Just as I was graduating high school, I was working at a lumber store. I worked 2nd shift at the store so I didn't know what had happened during the day shift. Turns out, a young guy about 19-20 was crushed by about 2000 lbs of dry wall. Apparently, the forklift driver had lifted the drywall up about 2 ft so the guy could put 2x4 spacers underneath. He couldn't keep the spacers even so he slid his body underneath to fix the space. The guy was crushed to death when one of the forks on the lift had broken thus killing the guy instantly. From what I remember, the fork that broke was broken before and welded back on and placed back into service.
My coworkers do shit like this all the time. I've warned them but since I'm still just 'part time' nobody listens or they make it out like I'm being too serious. One of those coworkers already broke his hand because *three* pieces of drywall fell on it, and they do this with pallets of 50.
The guy that accidentally drink gasoline then lit a cigarette instead of some fire sounds like he was actually murdered, and that was a cover-up story because gasoline has a smell that nothing else has so when you open the door, you’re gonna know what it is,
I remember a story (I don't remember if i saw it on this chanel or another one) about a guy who bought himself a "stab-proof shirt" and tested it while still wearing it. This story also looks like a murder cover-up.
So #2 on this list is very close to SOP at a place I used to work at for reaching things on the ceiling such as light fixtures and fire pipes. The differences are: 1) we use an iGPS pallet instead of wooden pallets, which are more suitable for this, 2) we use only one pallet instead of a stack to reduce the number of points of failure, and 3) we don't move the pallet at elevation with a worker on it. There's also a load stabilizing grate, so we can connect a harness to that grate and it would hold a worker's weight if the worker fell from the pallet and prevent him from falling to the ground.
That is inaccurate because even if the content creator did make series everyday every living thing has a lifespan so death is inevitable by age thus ending the series. Even if he is somehow immortal earth's habitability is at the maximum 1 billion years when the sun becomes so luminous (%10 higher than the current sun) due to solar evolution that a runaway greenhouse effect will occur from the increased energy the earth receives from the future sun. On top of that mass extinctions are guaranteed during this time that would lead to the downfall of technology that this series relies on. Also as even more time passes by in about 5 billion years not only will earth be molten by that point from the ever increasing luminosity but the sun will swell and become a red giant that will last billions of years making life past Mars too hot to exist and melt every single icy body at and beyond jupiter. For example Europa will become a hot ocean. I can go on explaining the eventual white dwarf and so on but I will not due to limited space. Also coronal mass ejections that the sun release from time to time towards our direction would destroy most technology. The Carrington event is a well known one but we did not rely as heavily on technology. Therefore the end of the series is and will end eventually and inevitably on a realistic scale.
It’s not an ACTUAL Darwin Award, but, it ALMOST was……………. I LOVE to read. As a teenager, I did A LOT of reading. R L Stine, the way the human body works, recipe books, books on animals, herbal remedies, pretty much whatever I could get my hands on. So, I was about 13 or so. I was reading a book at home. I don’t recall the name of the book, but, it HAD to be about how tea was made. I read a part that said that tea was made by pouring boiling water over dried leaves. I got excited(because I LOVE tea). I thought to myself “gee we have LOTS of dried leaves in the garden(my mom grew lots of different kinds of fruit trees on her property & it was Winter). I marked my spot in the book, & rushed out to the garden. I happily grabbed several leaves that were dried & didn’t have bird poop on them from the first tree I got too(it was an apricot tree). I took them inside & boiled some water. I made myself a nice little cup of hot tea( adding sugar, honey, & lemon to taste). After I made & drank the tea. I went to bed. The next day I was sick(as if I had the flu). My mom( knowing I’d made the tea the night before), got worried & called the poison control center. After talking with the lady on the phone(& asking me which tree I’d gotten the leaves from), my mom found out that peach trees & apricot trees have cyanide in them! The lady on the phone said thankfully, each time I’d added something to the leaves(water, honey, sugar, & lemon), that the cyanide got diluted to a certain level & that I must have managed to dilute it to where I just got enough of it to make myself sick! My mom was told to treat me as if I had the flu. The lady told my mom that if I got worse or didn’t get better in a few days to take me to the doctor/hospital. If ONLY I’d continued reading, I WOULD have read that the leaves were TEA(or some other kind of edible herb)LEAVES! So, I ALMOST committed suicide(without me even feeling suicidal)! 😰😱😨🙄
This one happened during the selfie boom. In Iaşi, Romania, a girl decided it would be a great idea to take a selfie on top of a train. After getting up not only she electrocuted herself on the conductors and cables above but she catched (caught since now that you gn guys said it, it's really starting to bug me) fire and was launched off the train in a pretty messy burnt state. I guess you could say her burning selfie-ing for attention shocked her.
I think is actually already a Darwin award. When Hurricane Gaston hit in 2004, it caused flooding in Richmond, Virginia. A young man thought kayaking through the flooded and raging James River would be fun. It wasn't.
please make more of this series. I might eventually see it reaching part 9,000, but it's just how it is. stupid people are never ending as long as humans still exist on this planet, along with the smarter ones.
4:48 This one reminds me of one of "Sergeant Murphy's Laws of Combat", specifically the one that says "Once the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend!" Only in the case of this Darwin Award winner it's more like "Once the circular saw is applied, Mr. Grenade will get very annoyed with anyone within his blast radius!"
I once knew a guy who I think deserves a Darwin Award. So this guy, who I will call Tom, had a cat whom he loved very much. So much so, he sacrificed his life to try to look for his never-lost cat. That day, after he came back home from work, he noticed his cat wasn’t home-which as a matter of fact was not true-his cat was just hiding somewhere and never left the house. Well, without checking the other possibilities, Tom thought his cat must have gotten out, so he went out to find his cat. Since his cat has hidden there before, Tom decided to check the huge trash can outside his house. He dived head-first into the trash can and this is where he will regret everything. There was a plastic bag full of hydrofluoric acid in the bottom of the bin, and when he jumped into the bin, his weight punctured the plastic bag, and out flowed the acid. His skin instantly got hurt and burnt when it came into contact with the acid. But instead of going to the hospital, Tom licked the acid off his soaked hand. Well, to say the least, when the garbage collector came to collect the trash the next day, he was in for a big surprise, a very dead man and no cat.
I remember the last story, the older gentleman in the video looked completely broken when he realized it was a fake gun, it actually was sad to see the change in him
Nobody is going to blame the guy for shooting the robber. Everyone else thought the fake gun was real too. Replica guns are made to look exactly like the real thing and are sometimes used by criminals who mistakenly think that since they didn't use a real gun their charges or sentences might be lighter. In reality, they'll still get charged as if their gun was real and they'll face the danger of someone shooting them dead - just like this.
Attempt to see what's inside of a grenade reminded me a story I heard during military service about two soldiers attempting to disassemble an autocannon round. So, when that bottle sized thing inevitabily detonated, one of shell chunks took first guy's leg clean off, other chunk hit second guy right between his legs with obvious results.
20:00 That's not true at all. They are never on time, sometimes a few hours late, sometimes they don't drive at all, sometimes the toilets, the AC, everything is broken... It's not so cheap as you think- you pay around 80 bucks for this route in normal pricing... Or more if you are unlucky. Or less, if you are lucky...
19:38 i don't know where you got your info about the German railway system from, but standard price for going from Hamburg to Munich is over 200 Euros and they are NEVER on time, at least 30min off. sometimes hours, sometimes they don't run at all. if you take the cheapest ticket it will take you around a week for 700km.
There was a man here in my city who definitely deserves a Darwin Award. In Brazil, at the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, citizens in a chunk of Campo Grande city were left with no power, yet despite having no light bulbs to turn on, the sky was just as bright as any other source of light could be. They were huge flames, so bright you could see it from miles away. Security from an electric substation knew exactly what happened, as they witnessed everything, yet couldn't believe someone would be so dumb to do that. Turns out some rando decided to climb all the way up a high tension pole to steal modernity's gold: copper wires. A decision so dumb not even security believed he was actually there as not even they could get close. While the man managed to get a good chunk of wires, after all those lucky shots, it was time for a shocking surprise. The pole exploded and I believe, without a doubt, he deserves a big fat Darwin Award. (Link to videos in the comments below)
Fun Fact: DB (which is germany's trains) is on time only ~60% of the time given the average for 2023 from many sources. However, (in my opinion) this isn't taking into account the vast number of strikes and the actuals of how german trains run which unlike germans overall are punctual and on time...german trains are not and will arrive when they feel like it. Don't worry, i'll be happy to share another fun actually correct fact next time also so Be Amazed can learn something.
The phrase comes from the 1930's when the Nazi's ran an extremely neurotic tight ship. The trains were on time because if they weren't the Nazi's would find who was responsible and needless to say you don't want to be on the Nazi's shitlist. The "trains running on time" is referencing the fucking trains carrying Jews to Auchwitz because they wanted to exterminate them as fast as possible. You aren't impressing anyone with your lack of knowledge about an internationally common turn-of-phrase. If you're actually German you should fucking know this lmfao.
I'm not so sure the 2 girls actually earned a Darwin award since being on the roof of a parked car isn't that dangerous. After all a Darwin award requires removing yourself not being removed like they were when the plane hit them
I’ve seen/heard that story before and iirc, they climbed over fences with warning signs on them into a restricted zone (restricted bc of how low the planes are when coming in for landing). In my book, anyone who ignores safety/keep out signs automatically has a Darwin Award ready and waiting for them.
For the horse track one I kinda feel like that one was a little less of a darwin award death and more a tragic death even if they were being annoying for climbing on someones car. Who'd think a airplane would suddenly come flying down that low?
Doesn't matter if you'd expect the plane or not, you shouldn't be standing on other people's cars. That alone would get you hurt in pretty much any area. So since it's a stupid act in general, they get a DA.
10:20 - yeah, don’t go drinking unidentified liquids in a friend’s house, but also if you’re going to keep toxic chemicals around your house, label them clearly!
I've got one. In 1999, Ten days after SpongeBob SquarePants released(5/1/1999), a man was blind druck from drinking Beer wanted to go out and watch a motorcycle up close and personal. It was the 11th of May when at 12:45, when 12 motorcycles came straight towards him. Thinking that he is SpongeBob and thinking he can absolutely absorb blows made to him like SpongeBob himself, he came to the middle of the street and yelled out "Do your worst!" Taking that much literally that is, the 12 motorcylers accelerated, untimely killing him. Why? That's because the first 11 hit him so much that our man was hurting. His own family was watching hhim as he was on the ground, until the 12th and final one went to jump over him, but it went wrong. Our man's death was the result because when the 12th rider was starting he bolted untimely crushing our man's skull permanently. And to add some humiliation to the death, our Darwin Award winner's familt quoted, "If he wasn't that hurt, he would have made it and moved out of the way." Do not get drunk that's all I can say. 23:21
I knew someone who definitely deserve a Darwin Award. So this guy had a pet cat, whom he loved very much. One day, when he returned home from work, he noticed his cat was not home-which as a matter of fact was not true-the cat was just hiding somewhere in the house and never left it. This guy, however, thought his cat has gotten out, so without even checking the other possibilities, left his house to look for his cat. Because his cat has did it before, he thought his cat would hide in the huge trash can outside his house, so he dived head-first into it to look for his cat. Well, this is the part where he would regret everything. There was a bottle of hydrofluoric acid(opened)in the trash can, so when it touched his skin, he instantly got burnt and hurt. But he didn’t go to the hospital, he LICKED his arm which was soaked in the acid and guess what, the next morning, when the garbage collector came to collect the trash, he found a very much dead body in the bin.
25:04 Beavis and Butt-Head could comment... Butt-Head: Dumbass didn't have a rubber. Beavis: So he used glue on his thingies? Hehehe, if you wanna do it, don't glue it!
Considering how long this series has gone on and the fact that there will definitely be more videos in this series truly shows how stupid humanity has gotten
I'm really lucky that I didn't end up in this series. Back in 1979, I pulled my car into the driveway where I was living. Just as I got to the parking spot, it ran out of gas. I got a small electric water pump and ran the input hose into the gas tank of a farm truck that was sitting next to two houses and a barn. My plan was to steal a few gallons from the trunk. I ran an extension cord out of the barn for power. I couldn't find a gas can, so I used a plastic squirt bottle to put the gasoline in. The pump worked really well and filled the bottle in a matter of seconds, then spilling gas all over my pants and the ground around me. I stepped on the extension cord and pulled the cord on the pump to stop the flow. As soon as the electricical current was cut, it made a spark which ignited the gas fumes. The force of the explosion blew me back about 10 feet. Fire was shooting out of the gas tank on the truck, the side of the truck was on fire, as well as the ground all around the area. My pants were also on fire. I rolled on the dirt and put myself out, then ran into the barn to unplug the extension cord. I grabbed a horse blanket and, for what seemed like an eternity, beat the flames until they were out. I am so fortunate that I didn't get killed or burn down the truck, barn, and two houses. No one ever found out about that, and I learned a really good lesson. The next morning, on my way to work, I wrecked my car. Talk about KARMA!

2:47 y’know, as a person who’s OSHA certified and working in this part time, you can attach a cage to the forklift to raise a worker on it for these things, but they have to be harnessed to it, the cage must be secured, and the driver can’t move anything but the forks when someone is on it. Yeah, palettes are a horrible idea
As someone who has/had worked in warehousing for 10 years I remember having worked with such a cage on both a forklift and order-picker
We had a special forklift for lifting people. It physically wouldn't move if the basket was raised...
Apparently they need to make more of those things.
I worked on a dock where the boot used to secure the cage to the fork truck was damaged and useless. The maintenance manager wouldn't order what was needed to repair it. We were forced to use it anyway. Don't work for Tyson Foods.
I have a few years of warehouse work under my belt.
Pallets become warped and broken to the point where some of them will NOT stack properly.
Those heavy duty pallets aren't just something to throw around for funzys. 20lbs / 60lbs per pop depending on your industry and supplier.
That guy was doomed and was no doubt covered with scrapes horrific bruising amoung other things.
What a way to go out. Eek.
I dont know if it was a Darwin award winning idea...guy was trying to be self sufficient and helpful. It was a stupid accident, in retrospect.
I have one for Darwin Award. In 2007 the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl. The night they won we had a Snowstorm here in Indy. A man went to a Colt Sports bar in Indy to watch the game and made the unfortunate decision to drive home drunk that night after the game. The area on way to his home is in wealthy Carmel, Indiana which is rural with large estates. On way home the man's car got stuck in a snow drift. He lived a few miles away and decided to walk home abandoning his car. He was reported missing the next day and police found his car. The NEXT day a hunter found his body. What happened the drunk man walked through the woods on his way home and became disoriented by the snow storm. He walked right off the ledge of a rock quarry falling about 30 feet to the ground where the hunter found him dead. The lesson once again is don't drive drunk, abandon your car in a snow storm and try walking home in a snow storm drunk.
Great idea!
that’s pretty AMAZING *bah dum tss*
Poor decision juice meets stupid. Never ends well.
That Idea was *amazing* wow I’m surprised 😮
Hmmm, if only he knew that
I have a Darwin Award from 1982. An acquaintance of my husband decided to string up a dummy for Devil's night using wire on a high-voltage line that fed into the local iron ore mine. Someone called the fire department as the field appeared to be on fire. It was the acquaintance burning up as the wire he used hit the high-voltage line. There wasn't much to recover.
Yea, he was dead before he even knew what happened. I knew a dude who was digging and hit a high voltage line and it only took about a second and a half. Always get a survey if you're digging deep ANYWHERE near civilization.
Well, we have our second entry for part 18 @beamazed

I knew exactly where the gun story was going the second he mentioned the MRI. I doubt the man forgot he had a gun on him, being that he always had one on him, and he likely just didn't want to give it up. If that's truly the case, he definitely earned that award.
What I can't figure out is why he was in the MRI room in the first place. No one but the patient is allowed in the room when the MRI is on. (I have had quite a few MRIs and the technicians skedaddle out as quickly as they can before the machine is turned on.)
@@happydays1336 The only good reason I can come up with is if there was a child in the tunnel that wanted a parent in the room. Other than that... I have no clue what so ever.
I had a great great uncle go out in spectacular fashion. This happened in either the 40s or 50s. He got drunk at the bar and decided to walk home. He got tired and decided to take a nap. On train tracks. The buzzards found more of him than the family did and it’s quite the legend in our family now.
How do you know that he didn't tripped and fall on the tracks?
That is what happened to the famed "Hooker Man" of Sussex County in New Jersey. Its hook-handed ghost roams the tracks with a lantern & has been spotted by countless people for decades, including my cousins, who claim they once foolishly taunted it and were chased by it.
Yep, that qualifies for a DA.
This should be a part of a Darwin Award video
Not Darwin. It was suicide. How would people not realize that.
I actually remember reading a story about a guy in Arizona back 1987 who decided to blast a saguaro cactus with his shotgun. After two blasts, the cactus broke in half and fell on the guy. It wound up crushing him to death. If he hadn’t died, he would have been facing legal trouble since saguaro cacti are legally protected in Arizona
it was in a previous video.
Well, at least he avoided legal trouble.

Whilst doing some DIY bungee jumping off of a 140ft high, stone railway arch, I almost got a Darwin award.
Anyone who's done a bungee jump knows that you swing front to back.
On the back swing, the bungee cord recoiled me into the underside of the stone arch, fracturing my skull.
To give you some idea how I use to roll as a kid, I've also driven under a parked car at 50mph on a home made go cart.
Accidentally set the house on fire.
Got electrocuted twice.

This series has made me realise something. Many people who kill themselves aren't suicidal, just terminally stupid.
Are you seriously trying to downplay suicide!? 🤨🤨🤨
@@Koji-Alistair Nope. I'm downplaying human intelligence.
I support your comment 100%
A lot of things can be fixed. Stupid is just one of those hard ones that are really hard to
@@BloodThirstyAvengers Okay, so if you're "downplaying" human intelligence, why bring up suicide? As a matter of fact, why structure your comment in a way that makes it seem like you're mocking people who commit suicide? Someone committing suicide, for whatever reason, and someone dying as a result of doing something incomprehensibly stupid are not the same thing. You should really take a closer look at your comment.
@@Koji-Alistairthere’s a major difference between suicide and a darwin reward. Darwin rewards happen because of stupidity but suicide happens during rough time.

When helmet laws were introduced hospitals saw a rise in head trauma injuries. Because now more people were surviving the head trauma instead of just dying.
a doctor once said "do you know what we call people who dont wear crash helmets?...organ donors"
When riding a motorcycle, the odds are heavily stacked against you. I'm not saying you CAN'T be saved by wearing a helmet, heck, my grandfather laid his motorcycle down after hitting a dog that ran out in front of him many years ago and walked away with just some road rash. But during my time as a volunteer firefighter, I saw more than a few motorcycle involved crashes and in not one call that I responded to did the person on the motorcycle survive, despite wearing a helmet. The bottom line is yes, wearing a helmet MIGHT save your life, but the odds of it aren't great. If you just lay the bike down like my grandfather did, your odds are pretty good, but if you hit something and get launched off the bike, not so much. One call I responded to, the person driving the motorcycle drove straight into a power pole and got launched off the bike square into the pole. Kind of hard to survive with your neck broken and chest caved in and mush from impacting the pole 😳.
@@aperson9495 i have seen the aftermath of motorcycle accidents and my husband's mom was a paramedic. She does not recommend ever getting on one. I plan to heed that advice.
They found similar issues during the First World War when the British introduced helmets, and as a result there were more head injuries than when they used cloth hats.
My father had to drive through some unlit construction at night on his motorcycle, and hit a pylon streight on. His wheel collapsed and the front fork failed, and he got launched, fortunately landing in an open spot. He broke his ankle, and split his helmet, but suffered no other injuries. The doctors were clear that he likely would not have survived without the head protection.

When I'm scheduling people for MRI's, I tell them "If you won't take your earings out before, the magnet will take them off for you.
And if you forget to tell me you have metal inside you, the magnet will remind you.

Regarding the MRI scanner Darwin Award. I nearly got one of them but instead ended up in A&E for a minor head wound. Long and short of it is I was given a patient gown, the ones with cut out side and normally, no pockets. This gown had a chest pocket. In which I dropped the metal locker key I had been given for a locker I stored my personal belongings+clothes in.
Before entering the MRI room a nurse asked me if I had anything metallic on me. I patted my thighs where normally my trouser pockets would be, laughed and said I’ve got no pockets. I was then admitted to the MRI room and laid down on the patient tray as a doctor explained what was going to happen.
Well as you can imagine the moment the MRI was switched on the locker key was pulled out of my pocket, bounced off my high cheek bones missing my eye, caught my skin across the forehead tearing it a bit and then glued itself to the MRI machine with a loud bang.
Doctor had his hand over the kill switch. The one that would dump the coolant and destroy the very expensive super magnet but stop the machine in an instant. He said he had visions of the key entering my ocular cavity and rattling around the inside of my skull leaving me a vegetable if lucky.
As is I put a significant dent in a very expensive machine and got laughed at by the nurses for getting admitted to A&E for a minor head wound when I initially turned up to hospital for a back injury related MRI scan.
The flip side is I caused my local hospital to change it’s process regarding patient gowns with chest pockets, metal keys and nurses not just accepting a patient has no pockets because they jokingly said so. I’d like to think my almost Darwin Award prevented someone else definitely getting one.
So there you go. You never know when you may be about to be a contender for a Darwin Award so keeps your wits about you. I really should have known better than to absent mindedly drop a metal key into a pocket before going to a MRI scan.
Why don’t they have a metal detector to go through just before you go in?
@@jeanettetedesco6748 That’s a good point. I’d wager that the NHS deemed a metal detector as a needless expense.
@@jeanettetedesco6748 - it might be difficult picking up very small bits of metal. But they do have something better than an ordinary metal detector... When I had to get a knee MRI years ago they asked me about ferromagnetic parts in my body. As I had got some welding slag into my eye years before and was not sure whether it had all been removed I told them about it. They quickly put me through a head x-ray to check. There were no iron bits left in my eye. Good to check to be sure. Obviously you don't want to x-ray everybody if there is no reason at all to believe that they have ferromagnetic material hidden somewhere inside the body.
I frantically triple check anything i might have on me.. and lest not forget any metal INSIDE you, because of operations for example. If I remember correctly an MRI can rip it out?
Scary! No thanks to a broken ankle I have pins. Must remember that always!
4:48 The fact that my grandfathers favourite childhood story is him attempting the exact same thing with the exact same methood at the age of 11 is something else.... The only reason he didnt went through with his plan is that his father heard him turning the saw on, went out to see whats going on and stopped him just in time
That’s a good father
Yeah, the only thing I was stopped from attempting to saw open was an alkaline battery. I was considering it but my mom convinced me there's corrosive chemicals in there. A few times I put golf balls in a vice and sawed it open with a hacksaw. I wonder what kind of plastic is inside those?

Duh! Who'da thunk?
I can see why he thought that. It was a common belief even well into the 1800's almost 1900's that rich people believed they can't get sick it was just a poor person disease. Back in those days if you were sick it was blamed on bad air so really if it smelled like garbage, sewage, and any foul odor. Also people refused to take a bath because they thought the dirt and filth was actually good for the skin. I know odd since bad smells they thought made you sick yet also refused to take a bath.
@@SharkBait19904also the whole "Kings are literally blessed by God and therefore at least somewhat invincible" belief that was so popular in Europe around that time. You'd think someone at the time would've asked themselves if better food, access to potable water, warm blankets, shelter and round the clock care and the best "doctors" and the space to quarantine during disease outbreaks was the real reason little kinglets didn't expect to die young like a good peasant did but oh well 😂
Back then the wealthy work works of art but underneath was absolute filth.
That is why perfume was invented. To cover the bad smell. For some reason it never occurred to the humans to address the source of the bad smell. Just cover it up.

As someone who lives in Germany, I can definitely say, that 99% of the time, our trains are NOT on time. A 20 Minute delay is still mild....
Right! This had me laughing so hard! The DB being on time and cheap was some 30 years ago. Nowadays it's more of a bad joke.
And nowadays, constantly on strike. I always take the car, this keeps my sanity intact. I only take the train when I want to drink.
Punctuality is a matter of perspective. There are parts of the world a train is considered punctual as long as it arrives within the designated week.
@@MrAranton Perspective has nought to do with it. Punctuality has a definition which normal, rational people adhere to. It means "ON TIME". Nothing else is appropriate.
@@Tess_Tickal yes it does. Your perspective influences what your definition of „on time“ is. Iirc Germany‘s DB considers a train late when it‘s more than six minutes behind schedule. If you think of it, that‘s nothing, particularly with long distances. If you’re six minutes late after a five hour journey that‘s about 2% of your travel time.
Now if you compare this to poorer countries with worse infrastructure - i.e. 90% of the world - being just six minutes behind schedule isn‘t a delay worth complaining about, it‘s frigging awesome!
I get there are worse delays than those six minutes. And if you muss your connection, it make little difference by how much you miss it. But that doesn‘t change the fact that compared to most other countries Germany‘s rail system is top notch.
Remember the trend of making a necklace with a bullet hanging from it? We had a solider decide that bigger was better, so instead of a 7.62mm he decided he was going to use a .5”. To mount the bullet it involves drilling out the center of the bullet and filling it with glue. Well unlike its 7.62 counterpart the .5” has an explosive tip. As he drilled out the tip, the explosive detonated, taking off half his hand. Now if he’d only asked a gunner he’d be walking around with intact paws.
That’s hilarious 😂😂😂 I bet he was EMBARRASSED

I have a Darwin Award from 2017 that was, unfortunately, given to one of the only people who didn't bully me in school due to my high functioning autism and ADHD. This was during summer break before we started 8th grade. The friend in question was out with some of his other friends and decided to go "hood surfing" in a busy parking lot. Hood surfing is an activity where people slide across the hood of random cars and is a stunt commonly performed in action movies. However, he didn't realize that one of the cars he was about to surf was starting to pull out. He slipped and fell off the hood of the car and got his skull crushed under the moving car's tire. He was quickly rushed to the hospital, but still didn't survive. For context, this happened somewhere in Wyoming in the city of Cheyenne. I wasn't there personally, but since the school i went to was in a small town called Burns, news got around fast
I know one too :In 1997, Police in Reston, Virginia, issued a statement saying they had found the body of 22-year-old Eric Barcia, who had apparently died attempting to bungee jump off a 70 foot bridge.
Eschewing commercial bungee operations, Eric had apparently taken matters into his own hands and tied several bungee cords together.
He strapped himself on securely, tied the other end to the bridge, and jumped, confident in the knowledge that he’d carefully measured out the bungee’s total length - just under 70 foot.
Of course, what Eric had forgotten was that bungee cords stretch.
At least he got the Darvin reward when he landed😂
@@chudleyflusher7132it did happen.
drop length: 70 ft. Bungee length: 65 ft. Body length: 6 ft:

This sounds exactly the same as a story that has already been covered by this series ...... at least twice in fact.
Only thing I can't remember off the top of my head is if the location is the same but everything else is the exact same.
The drawings always crack me up. Especially the ones when the person looks initially normal before turning completely deranged when an insanely stupid idea is presented.

I’m a neurosurgeon. Since Florida got rid of the mandatory helmet law, deaths from motorcycle head injuries rose 250% and for male riders aged 18 to 25 rose 400%!
But you’ll get ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt or texting! Plus, motorcycle drivers only are required to have 10K in insurance. That’s gone in about 15 minutes in the ER!
Know what neurosurgeons call motorcycles? “Donorcycles.”
We have some weird laws down here and the Governor has added some others for guns but I found I could go to jail for walking around with a sword cane.
"My freedom!" has caused more deaths in the USA than anything else, especially when you factor in firearms. It must be an incredible feeling of arrogance, to think that your personal freedom to do things takes precedent over people's lives,
It's floriduh, where things go to die.
Yes the high percentage in younger men is because they all think they need to impress someone or even Moreno the power and adrenaline combined make it hard not to open up some of the super bikes and thus........crash!

I have a darwin award: a wannabe inventor in france at 1912 was test a parachute, instead testing the parachute with a dummy, he used himself so he came to the highest tower in paris and... he jumped 69 metres to his death
My boys resisted helmets for all their non-car travels. What stuck with them was my descriptions of trying to put brain tissue back into fractured skulls in an ED. Yes, I was as graphic as I could be.
They lost their minds. Grey matters. Skull-kenisis. Inertial lobotomy. Two-cycle thinking. Hamburger helper. Brain pasta. The puzzle. Rockwell hardness test. Head over forks in love with the bike. Let me know if I am getting warm.
@@vilefly The anti-helmet fanatics are often magical-thinking that due to their ‘skill’ and ‘luck’ that it couldn’t possibly happen to them. Add alcohol or drugs and stir. They are still wrong. There were only a few I saw in the ED, but unfortunately will never be able to forget.
Well, my friends ride bikes like madman, even after seeing their friend splatter into mush on tree when he lost control going over 300km/h changed nothing on how they ride... Fun fact, they have no issue with helmets because it's needed at high speeds anyway to see and breath easily.
@@wykydytron Yet the most injuries I saw were from relatively low speed collisions with objects and vehicles. Even 40kph is plenty to smash an unprotected human. Dirt bikes, snowmobiles, jet skis, and even pedal bikes all did their share. Interestingly, road bikes were a minority, mostly because they were dead at the scene. If helmeted, the head injuries were very limited. Saw some utterly destroyed helmets tha did their job, apps the skulls were mostly intact, with face and jaw damage only.
@62guitarguy So can a skull. I saw one with a child fallen from a sidebar of a swing. They had to put a plate and screws in the bone to stabilize it after fixing the bleeders. The helmet is sacrificial, like crumple zones on the front of the car, it is meant to break to cushion the head. I have heard every argument against helmet use, and all are wrong. Get the best you can afford and wear it: your handlebar does not need it, you do. Head injuries are no joke.
As a long time German follower I can say: the Deutsche Bahn is horrible. Most of the trains are late or even aren't arriving at the train station. 😂
19:40 I hope you know that Deutsche Bahn is basically known for being always late? There's even a song about it by the Wise Guys, simply called "Deutsche Bahn".
I had a friend, who is now deceased from old age. He was changing the U-joint on his 1973 Buick. So, a pretty heavy, rear wheel drive car. He had put the car up on a set of ramps to gain access to the driveshaft. He figured it was fine in "Park." I saw him a day or two after his....uh...cerebral flatulence attack. His head was a massive bruise. His comment was, "Everything was going fine until I separated the driveshaft from the transmission. Then all hell broke loose. The car rolled back, almost crushing my melon head." Duh!! The car was not injured.

26:38 Here in Texas, people in some areas wont even honk their car horn at other cars for fear that they might have a gun. And then for that guy in the video to actually threaten people in texas with a fake gun, he deserves a platinum darwin award
I take it you don't live in one of the few major populated cities areas like Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio because these cities are constantly showing up on the news for similar incidents. Rural Texans are still polite and have manners because they know most of the people they interact with are packing and know how to shoot, while in major cities people are afraid of guns because they are getting over run by democrats
Who in Texas is scared to honk?? 😂 I'm not! I'm a native Texan and I don't walk around scared

Concerning the Lawyer at @6:45 the safety being off was the least he got wrong. That firearm had a round in the chamber AND it had been cocked before the safety was even needed. To deliberately take a concealed weapon into a hospital loaded and cocked deserves a self deletion.
How do we know the magnet didn't cause the safety to move?

Wow, someone has a mind today.
With the 2 girls at the races :- Either the van was parked in a stupid spot or the plane was landing way short of the airstrip. The plane was less than 15 ft while over a public area and is lucky the van didn't have a nice strong "CB radio" aerial attached to the front bar.
Even in those videos of the planes landing over a beach, they are 100 ft at the fence line.
Kind of what I was thinking. Where was the vehicle parked, and what kind of pilot would buzz a parked car that close?
Yeah, I don’t consider that one to be a Darwin Award.
the pilot was trying to get in the selfie
And how did he not see them? It wasn't the girls' fault.
@@kn6123 Have you ever seen the ads showing people in the driver's seat of a truck and asked if there was anything around them, " No, nothing" and they get out and there are cars in that blind spot, people in a different one...
The pilot of the plane has an engine in front that puts a major blind spot under the front of the plane.
I stand with either tha plane was going to land way short of the landing strip and/or that van was parked in a stupid place on the landing strip. The girls were stupid for either parking the van there or, if not their van, climbing onto the top of someone else's vehicle, possibly pushing in their roof ( criminal damage ).
I haven't seen this channel in some years. I have to say, the animated bits are good. Good improvement in quality.
23:08 Actually, once the bottom of the car door is slightly submerged, the water pressure makes it almost impossible to open the doors until the car is nearly full of water. So it's very possible they might have panicked as the car slowly started filling with water.

The story about the Japanese person trying to fix a light bulb with a stack of wooden pallets and a fork lift, I got a story like that I know actually happened, because it happened at my work place.
I work for a school district, and outside contractors were sent to look at a divider curtain for the gym and make adjustments on top on the ceiling where the curtain hanged. They had a cherry picker, but in order to move the cherry picker, they "should" lower the thing first, then move to position, then raise it. It "should" happen every time you move it, also the person going up and down on it "should" have a safety harness incase they fall, but these contractors were apparently in a rush, a guy pushed the cherry picker along while it was still raised and the person inside wasn't wearing their harness. At some moment, the whole cherry picker tipped over and the person inside got severely injured that he didn't live long after the whole thing fell.
I saw a cherry picker fall over once. Luckily, the guy in it wasn't seriously hurt. He did get fired though.
Wow
I had a company fire me for refusing to move a man lift in the raised position. It was the type that has the controls in the part that raises up.

No clue why they lie in the video. But it makes me think about the rest of the video
@@MrInv13because it used to be true before the 2000s and the privatising of the DB. The system was taken well care of because it was REQUIRED. Not so much today
4:31: Yeah. Attempting to saw open a rusty, probably still functional WW2 grenade. Such a brilliantly "wholesome" idea.
Just as I was graduating high school, I was working at a lumber store. I worked 2nd shift at the store so I didn't know what had happened during the day shift. Turns out, a young guy about 19-20 was crushed by about 2000 lbs of dry wall. Apparently, the forklift driver had lifted the drywall up about 2 ft so the guy could put 2x4 spacers underneath. He couldn't keep the spacers even so he slid his body underneath to fix the space. The guy was crushed to death when one of the forks on the lift had broken thus killing the guy instantly. From what I remember, the fork that broke was broken before and welded back on and placed back into service.
My coworkers do shit like this all the time. I've warned them but since I'm still just 'part time' nobody listens or they make it out like I'm being too serious. One of those coworkers already broke his hand because *three* pieces of drywall fell on it, and they do this with pallets of 50.

Humans are stupid. They'll never run out of stories.
19:51 As a German I have to mention that German trains are never on time.
The guy that accidentally drink gasoline then lit a cigarette instead of some fire sounds like he was actually murdered, and that was a cover-up story because gasoline has a smell that nothing else has so when you open the door, you’re gonna know what it is,
I remember a story (I don't remember if i saw it on this chanel or another one) about a guy who bought himself a "stab-proof shirt" and tested it while still wearing it. This story also looks like a murder cover-up.
So #2 on this list is very close to SOP at a place I used to work at for reaching things on the ceiling such as light fixtures and fire pipes. The differences are: 1) we use an iGPS pallet instead of wooden pallets, which are more suitable for this, 2) we use only one pallet instead of a stack to reduce the number of points of failure, and 3) we don't move the pallet at elevation with a worker on it. There's also a load stabilizing grate, so we can connect a harness to that grate and it would hold a worker's weight if the worker fell from the pallet and prevent him from falling to the ground.
As long as humanity exists
This series is immortal
Unlike our award-winning cast, am I right?
Yeah especially the guy who tried to light a cigarette after spitting gasoline all over himself
That is inaccurate because even if the content creator did make series everyday every living thing has a lifespan so death is inevitable by age thus ending the series.
Even if he is somehow immortal earth's habitability is at the maximum 1 billion years when the sun becomes so luminous (%10 higher than the current sun) due to solar evolution that a runaway greenhouse effect will occur from the increased energy the earth receives from the future sun. On top of that mass extinctions are guaranteed during this time that would lead to the downfall of technology that this series relies on. Also as even more time passes by in about 5 billion years not only will earth be molten by that point from the ever increasing luminosity but the sun will swell and become a red giant that will last billions of years making life past Mars too hot to exist and melt every single icy body at and beyond jupiter. For example Europa will become a hot ocean. I can go on explaining the eventual white dwarf and so on but I will not due to limited space.
Also coronal mass ejections that the sun release from time to time towards our direction would destroy most technology. The Carrington event is a well known one but we did not rely as heavily on technology.
Therefore the end of the series is and will end eventually and inevitably on a realistic scale.
That german trains are always on time and super cheap has to be one of the best jokes i heard this week
It’s not an ACTUAL Darwin Award, but, it ALMOST was…………….
I LOVE to read. As a teenager, I did A LOT of reading. R L Stine, the way the human body works, recipe books, books on animals, herbal remedies, pretty much whatever I could get my hands on. So, I was about 13 or so. I was reading a book at home. I don’t recall the name of the book, but, it HAD to be about how tea was made. I read a part that said that tea was made by pouring boiling water over dried leaves. I got excited(because I LOVE tea). I thought to myself “gee we have LOTS of dried leaves in the garden(my mom grew lots of different kinds of fruit trees on her property & it was Winter). I marked my spot in the book, & rushed out to the garden. I happily grabbed several leaves that were dried & didn’t have bird poop on them from the first tree I got too(it was an apricot tree). I took them inside & boiled some water. I made myself a nice little cup of hot tea( adding sugar, honey, & lemon to taste). After I made & drank the tea. I went to bed. The next day I was sick(as if I had the flu). My mom( knowing I’d made the tea the night before), got worried & called the poison control center. After talking with the lady on the phone(& asking me which tree I’d gotten the leaves from), my mom found out that peach trees & apricot trees have cyanide in them! The lady on the phone said thankfully, each time I’d added something to the leaves(water, honey, sugar, & lemon), that the cyanide got diluted to a certain level & that I must have managed to dilute it to where I just got enough of it to make myself sick! My mom was told to treat me as if I had the flu. The lady told my mom that if I got worse or didn’t get better in a few days to take me to the doctor/hospital.
If ONLY I’d continued reading, I WOULD have read that the leaves were TEA(or some other kind of edible herb)LEAVES! So, I ALMOST committed suicide(without me even feeling suicidal)! 😰😱😨🙄
You’re so lucky to survive! It’s a good thing you added the other stuff that ended up saving your life😁
@ yea. I always thought it was the higher power(whatever name you want to call the higher power by)watching over me(& my dumb ass)
This one happened during the selfie boom.
In Iaşi, Romania, a girl decided it would be a great idea to take a selfie on top of a train.
After getting up not only she electrocuted herself on the conductors and cables above but she catched (caught since now that you gn guys said it, it's really starting to bug me) fire and was launched off the train in a pretty messy burnt state.
I guess you could say her burning selfie-ing for attention shocked her.
Va-i de capul meu. Ce proasta.
She also caught on fire
I was gonna say that, yeah it’s CAUGHT*
...yeah but did she get the picture?
(hey at least Snytax errors arent so imflammable ;) )
I bet that photo was *fire* tho
Thanks for the laugh at 19:45 about the german train system.
As a German myself I can disapprove every aspect of that. It is horrendous...
I think is actually already a Darwin award. When Hurricane Gaston hit in 2004, it caused flooding in Richmond, Virginia. A young man thought kayaking through the flooded and raging James River would be fun. It wasn't.
*Now where did he get this utterly absurd idea?*
please make more of this series. I might eventually see it reaching part 9,000, but it's just how it is. stupid people are never ending as long as humans still exist on this planet, along with the smarter ones.
4:48 This one reminds me of one of "Sergeant Murphy's Laws of Combat", specifically the one that says "Once the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend!" Only in the case of this Darwin Award winner it's more like "Once the circular saw is applied, Mr. Grenade will get very annoyed with anyone within his blast radius!"
1:33 God: Oh, you think that not wearing a helmet on a speeding motorcycle is ok? Well…THINK AGAIN.
Part 17 has joined all it's other parts into the never ending dumb deaths
*dumb ways to die has met its match*
I once knew a guy who I think deserves a Darwin Award. So this guy, who I will call Tom, had a cat whom he loved very much. So much so, he sacrificed his life to try to look for his never-lost cat. That day, after he came back home from work, he noticed his cat wasn’t home-which as a matter of fact was not true-his cat was just hiding somewhere and never left the house. Well, without checking the other possibilities, Tom thought his cat must have gotten out, so he went out to find his cat. Since his cat has hidden there before, Tom decided to check the huge trash can outside his house. He dived head-first into the trash can and this is where he will regret everything. There was a plastic bag full of hydrofluoric acid in the bottom of the bin, and when he jumped into the bin, his weight punctured the plastic bag, and out flowed the acid. His skin instantly got hurt and burnt when it came into contact with the acid. But instead of going to the hospital, Tom licked the acid off his soaked hand. Well, to say the least, when the garbage collector came to collect the trash the next day, he was in for a big surprise, a very dead man and no cat.
I remember the last story, the older gentleman in the video looked completely broken when he realized it was a fake gun, it actually was sad to see the change in him
Nobody is going to blame the guy for shooting the robber. Everyone else thought the fake gun was real too. Replica guns are made to look exactly like the real thing and are sometimes used by criminals who mistakenly think that since they didn't use a real gun their charges or sentences might be lighter. In reality, they'll still get charged as if their gun was real and they'll face the danger of someone shooting them dead - just like this.
Attempt to see what's inside of a grenade reminded me a story I heard during military service about two soldiers attempting to disassemble an autocannon round. So, when that bottle sized thing inevitabily detonated, one of shell chunks took first guy's leg clean off, other chunk hit second guy right between his legs with obvious results.
Darwin awards refer to removing yourself from the gene pool. High speed genital trauma should count.
20:00
That's not true at all. They are never on time, sometimes a few hours late, sometimes they don't drive at all, sometimes the toilets, the AC, everything is broken...
It's not so cheap as you think- you pay around 80 bucks for this route in normal pricing... Or more if you are unlucky. Or less, if you are lucky...
Are they connected in any way to Britain's Southern network. Their trains hardly ever run on time or at all.

19:38 i don't know where you got your info about the German railway system from, but standard price for going from Hamburg to Munich is over 200 Euros and they are NEVER on time, at least 30min off. sometimes hours, sometimes they don't run at all. if you take the cheapest ticket it will take you around a week for 700km.
There was a man here in my city who definitely deserves a Darwin Award.
In Brazil, at the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, citizens in a chunk of Campo Grande city were left with no power, yet despite having no light bulbs to turn on, the sky was just as bright as any other source of light could be. They were huge flames, so bright you could see it from miles away. Security from an electric substation knew exactly what happened, as they witnessed everything, yet couldn't believe someone would be so dumb to do that. Turns out some rando decided to climb all the way up a high tension pole to steal modernity's gold: copper wires. A decision so dumb not even security believed he was actually there as not even they could get close.
While the man managed to get a good chunk of wires, after all those lucky shots, it was time for a shocking surprise. The pole exploded and I believe, without a doubt, he deserves a big fat Darwin Award.
(Link to videos in the comments below)
Fun Fact: DB (which is germany's trains) is on time only ~60% of the time given the average for 2023 from many sources. However, (in my opinion) this isn't taking into account the vast number of strikes and the actuals of how german trains run which unlike germans overall are punctual and on time...german trains are not and will arrive when they feel like it. Don't worry, i'll be happy to share another fun actually correct fact next time also so Be Amazed can learn something.
The phrase comes from the 1930's when the Nazi's ran an extremely neurotic tight ship. The trains were on time because if they weren't the Nazi's would find who was responsible and needless to say you don't want to be on the Nazi's shitlist. The "trains running on time" is referencing the fucking trains carrying Jews to Auchwitz because they wanted to exterminate them as fast as possible. You aren't impressing anyone with your lack of knowledge about an internationally common turn-of-phrase. If you're actually German you should fucking know this lmfao.
I'm not so sure the 2 girls actually earned a Darwin award since being on the roof of a parked car isn't that dangerous. After all a Darwin award requires removing yourself not being removed like they were when the plane hit them
That was a pretty low flying airplane, which leads me to believe that didn't really happen.
I’ve seen/heard that story before and iirc, they climbed over fences with warning signs on them into a restricted zone (restricted bc of how low the planes are when coming in for landing). In my book, anyone who ignores safety/keep out signs automatically has a Darwin Award ready and waiting for them.
Agreed. Should be planes be flying that low over cars?
Man, in my opinion, this is legit the best part. Goofy illustration. Laugh-your-ass-off stories. I chuckled and even wheezed hard at a ton of these.
For the horse track one I kinda feel like that one was a little less of a darwin award death and more a tragic death even if they were being annoying for climbing on someones car. Who'd think a airplane would suddenly come flying down that low?
Doesn't matter if you'd expect the plane or not, you shouldn't be standing on other people's cars. That alone would get you hurt in pretty much any area. So since it's a stupid act in general, they get a DA.
It’s still hilarious 😂😂

I've got one. In 1999, Ten days after SpongeBob SquarePants released(5/1/1999), a man was blind druck from drinking Beer wanted to go out and watch a motorcycle up close and personal. It was the 11th of May when at 12:45, when 12 motorcycles came straight towards him. Thinking that he is SpongeBob and thinking he can absolutely absorb blows made to him like SpongeBob himself, he came to the middle of the street and yelled out "Do your worst!"
Taking that much literally that is, the 12 motorcylers accelerated, untimely killing him. Why? That's because the first 11 hit him so much that our man was hurting. His own family was watching hhim as he was on the ground, until the 12th and final one went to jump over him, but it went wrong.
Our man's death was the result because when the 12th rider was starting he bolted untimely crushing our man's skull permanently. And to add some humiliation to the death, our Darwin Award winner's familt quoted, "If he wasn't that hurt, he would have made it and moved out of the way." Do not get drunk that's all I can say. 23:21

I'm really lucky that I didn't end up in this series.
Back in 1979, I pulled my car into the driveway where I was living.
Just as I got to the parking spot, it ran out of gas.
I got a small electric water pump and ran the input hose into the gas tank of a farm truck that was sitting next to two houses and a barn.
My plan was to steal a few gallons from the trunk.
I ran an extension cord out of the barn for power.
I couldn't find a gas can, so I used a plastic squirt bottle to put the gasoline in.
The pump worked really well and filled the bottle in a matter of seconds, then spilling gas all over my pants and the ground around me.
I stepped on the extension cord and pulled the cord on the pump to stop the flow.
As soon as the electricical current was cut, it made a spark which ignited the gas fumes.
The force of the explosion blew me back about 10 feet.
Fire was shooting out of the gas tank on the truck, the side of the truck was on fire, as well as the ground all around the area.
My pants were also on fire.
I rolled on the dirt and put myself out, then ran into the barn to unplug the extension cord. I grabbed a horse blanket and, for what seemed like an eternity, beat the flames until they were out.
I am so fortunate that I didn't get killed or burn down the truck, barn, and two houses.
No one ever found out about that, and I learned a really good lesson.
The next morning, on my way to work, I wrecked my car.
Talk about KARMA!

Ok, the only question this leaves me with is why would you want to dispose of antifreeze in a wine bottle?
Sometimes antifreeze is sold in regular bottles instead of canisters. Coincidentally, such bottles are also used to store cheap/homemade booze
