I remember Otto Lilienthal from a bio about the Wright Brothers I had to read for a report. It made a note of his last words after his fatal accident, "sacrifices must be made." It was because of his death that the Wright brothers decided the most important component of their flying machine would be a steering system.
Here’s an intresting story: While British inventor and billionaire James Hezelden didn’t invent the Segway, he did own the company in 2010 when this even took place. He was out riding his Segway in the woods when he lost control, fell of a cliff, and died. That’s right, the owner of Segway died while riding a Segway!
THANK YOU! Someone actually said it! You're not kidding...got into an accident on a Segway about seven years ago, my brother and his friend were goofing around on them. I ended up hitting the back of his Segway, turning mine into a freaking catapult. Got launched into the air, broke both my arms on impact. Ended up completely shattering my left elbow, had to get a titanium rod installed to get most of my functionality back. Seriously, FUCK Segways.
@@LegoGray2011 Yeah, they are. Played from 1967-93 before Minnesota’s public enemy #1 Norm Green decided to move the team to Dallas. I wasn’t even alive yet, but like most in my state, I despise him.
What I’d like to say about Wan Hu is that he did get into space, but learned the hard way that there’s no air in space. On the plus side, he was able to feel what the sun is like on the skin without any atmosphere between him and the sun. On the negative side, he didn’t live long afterward.
Oceangate's Titan submersible suffered from a deplorable lack of maintenance. Having made several deep dives already, the carbon fiber was far overstressed, and when it finally imploded, it shattered, not crumpled. Glorified plastic and deep ocean pressures are not good bedfellows.
One more... I don't remember the name of the person, but the guy who was the main designer for the Soviet T-34 tank. In order to prove how reliable it was, he himself sat at the driver's seat of the first prototype tank and crossed several hundreds of kilometers in harsh Russian winter in it, only stopping shortly to refuel it when needed. With Stalin himself interested in the outcome of the test drive, the stakes were high. Well, he made it, the tank proved its reliability, but he soon realized he had made a "small" design flaw. He forgot to make heating for the crew compartment. After the journey, he got severe pneumonia and died...
Some of these inventions really didn’t seem that worthwhile, but whinstantly genuinely made a groundbreaking world changing invention and I’m glad a single failure didn’t stop further use of those lighthouses
He didn't really invent anything though, lighthouses had been around for centuries. He just wanted to build one in a location no one else felt like paying for and designed it himself, it failed to handle the local weather. Decades later someone put one in that location that survived. But he hadn't invented anything new.
The Best Example: Icarus Icarus was the son of the greatest inventor at the time: Daedalus Daedalus and Icarus were trapped in a prison but the guards seem to have forgotten who they were dealing with Daedalus designed 2 sets of wings, with Icarus' help of course Once they were made, Daedalus and Icarus soared their way out of the prison Despite Daedalus' warning, Icarus flew to close to the sun, melting his wings He then fell to his death after not properly handling his one invention If their is a part 2 to this video, I request you would add this Mythological tale into the mix, Thank You

17:25 - one of the biggest reasons that this concept wasn’t developed further was that the owner would’ve had to hold both a drivers license and a private pilots license to operate the vehicle.
Here's another one: A guy back in ancient days was asked by a tyrant emperor to make a torture device. The outcome was a bronze bull that would have a fire underneath it to cook the tortured one alive, and the special construction of the bronze bull made the screams of the person inside loud and distorted. Ironically enough, the emperor requested the bull to be tested on it's creator, making it's first victim the person that created it
4:04 I can’t unhear your wonderful singing 😂 We need either an album or you singing the titles of each story in your future videos where you’re narrating. I believe Wan Hu was blown to smitherins before he even left the ground therefore it all went up in smoke for no reason.

My personal favorite but not shown was the tale of the master of hooch, Jack Daniels. Now Jack didn't die of alcohol poisoning or liver failure but his invention did lead to his uder demise. Mr. Daniels had a flaw of testing every single batch of his drink for quality and consistency but he was also extremely paranoid about people stealing his recipe. So to unburden his mind, Jack bought a safe to keep all his records, recipes, and notes on his whiskey and with that safetly secured, he went about testing his latest batch of liquor. But a little while later, Mr. Daniels needed to recheck the recipe with the results of the last batch but when he went to the safe, poor Jack FORGOT THE COMBINATION! In his frustration, Jack Kicked The Safe and broke his toe! Some time later the toe got infected, so Jack Daniels went into septic shock and died. I guess he couldn't drink that kind of pain away.

Something I wanted to point out. Bruce McLaren, founder of the McLaren racing company (part of the McLaren Automotive brand) who passed away test driving one of his newest race cars.
The Oceangate incident was indeed because the CEO was not concerned about safety. He ended up getting himself and others killed, and he picked Diversity hires over competent hires. 5 people were killed, and all because the guy bankrolling the exploration didn't adhere to safety standards. He even fired the people who were legit trying to adhere to safety standards. The total disregard for safety was a big mistake, and the implosion didn't merely crush it, the internal pressure gave out, and everyone inside was obliterated by the force of the water coming in. It was a disaster, and only the remains of the sub were found. When you don't consider all safety precautions, you're going to get yourself killed. If you build a rocket, make sure you have a means of getting out of it to prevent a pizzafication landing. Also a parachute would be a big help.
That Wan Hu one I'm definitely going with he just exploded, if he existed, that is. Fireworks are SUPPOSED to explode at the end anyway, right? 🤔 Just multiply that by 47, and even today there's ones that explode before going in the air, so increase THAT chance of making the others immediately go off with 1 bad one!
"Planned trip across the English Channel" Something the Luftwaffe used as a bombing raid on London and many other cities in a battle known as "Battle of Britain" several decades later from 1940-41
I feel like Stockton definetly knew his thing was going to implode one day. He probably just wanted to go out that way. Its literally over before you even realize. Poor people though
The most screwed up thing about the Ocean Gate tragedy, even though they spent days searching and making that the major broadcast through out the week, it was known that the sub imploded on the first day that it lost contact.
I just yesterday stumbled across the list of people killed by their own inventions because I watched a video about OceanGate. And right the next day you roll up with a video about those people XD
They put that dummy through a lot of crap over the course of their series! 🤣But, by the end of it, it was a real "ship of Theseus" scenario......The only thing remaining of the original Buster was his face!
Fun fact: Ford had to stop using the phrase "Pinto leaves you with that warm feeling." after a test crash revealed that the Ford Pinto would literally burst into flames if rear ended.
Fun fact: Mr beast was actually invited to going in the titanic submarine, but he had to do something and missed it, and boy is everyone glad he did, expect for the people who hate him for no reason
What did the guy with the flying car expect? He used a Ford Pinto a car that was infamous for exploding. He needs to be in part 17 of the Darwin Awards series
@@UpperDarbyDetailing Protecting the Pinto gas tank would have added $15 to the cost of each car. Ford figured it was cheaper to pay a few law suits, than make the car safer.
Maybe one day we'll find his rocket chair in orbit. Doubtful though. Can't imagine, if it worked, he'd have rose more than a couple hundred feet. Wonder how he intended to land? 😂
also fun fact, u can make a flying car like him, you can be like that guy but remember: always do adjustments before takeoff just like every airline does, if he did that then flying cars would be a thing by now...

Something I wanted to point out. Bruce McLaren, founder of the McLaren racing company (part of the McLaren Automotive brand) who passed away test driving one of his newest race cars.
Le grand poopoohead got me dead 😂
The Oceangate incident was indeed because the CEO was not concerned about safety. He ended up getting himself and others killed, and he picked Diversity hires over competent hires. 5 people were killed, and all because the guy bankrolling the exploration didn't adhere to safety standards. He even fired the people who were legit trying to adhere to safety standards. The total disregard for safety was a big mistake, and the implosion didn't merely crush it, the internal pressure gave out, and everyone inside was obliterated by the force of the water coming in. It was a disaster, and only the remains of the sub were found.
When you don't consider all safety precautions, you're going to get yourself killed.
If you build a rocket, make sure you have a means of getting out of it to prevent a pizzafication landing. Also a parachute would be a big help.
Ahhh so this is a "Bless their heart ❤️, they were trying" type of video. LoL 🤣
Before I wanted to click onto the video I knew William Afton only
That Wan Hu one I'm definitely going with he just exploded, if he existed, that is.
Fireworks are SUPPOSED to explode at the end anyway, right? 🤔 Just multiply that by 47, and even today there's ones that explode before going in the air, so increase THAT chance of making the others immediately go off with 1 bad one!
Not to mention that in order to get controlled vertical liftoff ALL of the rockets would have had to go off a the exact same time.
The Sheer Poetic Irony of Inventions killing their Inventors will always be a Classic!
At 0:21 I’m gonna predict he says the iron bull
William deserves to be on this list.
7:27 Le grand poopoohead made me chuckle
"Planned trip across the English Channel"
Something the Luftwaffe used as a bombing raid on London and many other cities in a battle known as "Battle of Britain" several decades later from 1940-41
Who else wants more Darwin Awards?
Don't worry we'll get more ... Humans get dumber everyday
In fact, some of these in this video have that written all over them.
7:28 “LE GRAND POOPOOHEAD”got me dying😭
I love your video
I feel like Stockton definetly knew his thing was going to implode one day. He probably just wanted to go out that way. Its literally over before you even realize. Poor people though
THE THUMBNAIL IS CRAZY BRO 💀💀💀💀💀💀
It's in the video bro it's not crazy
But like, is it not true?
Wan Hu's invention reminds me of Poe's makeshift contraption at the beginning of the first Kung Fu Panda movie.
Yeah, this dude's videos really are great.
I remember the Thomas Modgeley story from the British show named QI. I’m elated that you mentioned him on here when I saw the title.
yep,like usual more good videos. keep it up !
The most screwed up thing about the Ocean Gate tragedy, even though they spent days searching and making that the major broadcast through out the week, it was known that the sub imploded on the first day that it lost contact.
love this guy's videos
Bro that Titan was savage in the logo 💀💀💀
I just yesterday stumbled across the list of people killed by their own inventions because I watched a video about OceanGate. And right the next day you roll up with a video about those people XD
The Mythbusters testing Wan Hu's flight was one of the funnier and sadder things that happened to Buster.
They put that dummy through a lot of crap over the course of their series! 🤣But, by the end of it, it was a real "ship of Theseus" scenario......The only thing remaining of the original Buster was his face!
@@19TheFallen The first time they broke Buster was testing him on the Barrel of Bricks myth.
Be amazed:1783+2=1985😅
I bet Juan is still in space. Probably died a long time ago, but went out in an awesome way.
Great,now I'm afraid of inventing stuff 😢
Yikes 😬! 😅
I am glad someone invented toilet paper. 😊
Fun fact: Ford had to stop using the phrase "Pinto leaves you with that warm feeling." after a test crash revealed that the Ford Pinto would literally burst into flames if rear ended.
Welp no wonder they use dummies before people
Fun fact: Mr beast was actually invited to going in the titanic submarine, but he had to do something and missed it, and boy is everyone glad he did, expect for the people who hate him for no reason
And ronaldo too
its crazy to think of the combined net worth of all who passed on it 😮
@@Butterdog333 Talk about dodging a bullet.
@@ludonymous526 fr
What did the guy with the flying car expect? He used a Ford Pinto a car that was infamous for exploding. He needs to be in part 17 of the Darwin Awards series
Really? Good God... my family had one of those when I was a kid! I hate to think what might've happened if they hadn't traded it in when they did.
@@JStryker47 yep.
@@madelineryan548there was a recall, and more was made of the possibility than it really was.
@@UpperDarbyDetailing Protecting the Pinto gas tank would have added $15 to the cost of each car. Ford figured it was cheaper to pay a few law suits, than make the car safer.
@@elultimo102 Yup.
A "FLYING" car crashed on "9/11"? I have a feeling that this incident for told one of the biggest tragedies in American history.
well atleast we can learn from the mistakes other people make and dont have rely on only learning from our own mistakes ...
18:07. They did actually make it to the ground alive. They just weren’t alive shortly thereafter. 😬
Best way to spend 30min when u have nothing to do. Please keep it going! 😁

I think he might have made it to space, but there is a highly weird thing that he found aliens in his back to earth
Maybe one day we'll find his rocket chair in orbit. Doubtful though. Can't imagine, if it worked, he'd have rose more than a couple hundred feet. Wonder how he intended to land? 😂
also fun fact, u can make a flying car like him, you can be like that guy but remember: always do adjustments before takeoff just like every airline does, if he did that then flying cars would be a thing by now...
In the Brazen Bull story, you forgot to mention the Tyrant tried out the bull after it was invented...using the actual inventor.
Who lived through the demonstration....but died of his burns later after they got infected.
@@ZanathKariashi Oooh, never read that part anywhere! Still better than scaphism! **shudders**
Love your video Be Amazed and keep up the great work you are awesome
One of the reasons why I don't make my own inventions
Roper was 73 when he crashed, so it's not that much of a shock that he had a heart attack.
Me racing to the comments because it's the first 9 minutes of the video
Because you are too stupid to form your own opinion without seeing what everyone else says 😂
Because you can't think of anything substantive to say so you just write about the time it was uploaded. What a genius!
9:10 But the fourth one stayed up! And that's what you're going to get, lad - the strongest lighthouse in these islands!
But I don't want any of that. I just want... to... sing...
