BE AMAZED that woman looking into her “handgun” was looking into a pellet gun. Not a real gun, but still stupid. Obviously a set up picture, but again, not a real gun!!
Have you ever wondered how people do this -hello- well just put this - then type something and put another one in the end and no spaces in between the - and the words
I remember the alcohol enema (usually wine) was all the rage in the late 70's and early 80's. I had a lot of friends in the medical field and a few of them were ER nurses. The number of people who died of alcohol poisoning was unreal.
@@lethfuil This method of alcohol consumption is dangerous because it leads to faster intoxication than drinking as the alcohol is absorbed directly into the bloodstream with the body not having the ability to reject the toxin via vomiting.
@@FR099Y Thank you. :) I guessed that much, I'm just really puzzled about the "why" though. ^^' Why would someone do this. Intentionally, without being forced.
The Bees in the hive be like- Bee 1: “ay bro there’s a guy coming at us with a flamethrower, should we attack him? Bee 2: “nah bro, you see that bag over his head, we just gonna wait…..
The air hose death makes me so upset, too many people I work with still to this day screw with the air hoses like it’s a game. People just don’t understand.
This was a common occurrence in the Far East. I remember reading one story, on the official Darwin Awards website, from Indonesia where a man inserted an air line on a garage forecourt up his rectum. A passing woman thought it was an impromptu fireworks display. It even had its own name, which I can't remember. I'll look it up and put it in the edit.
I NEED MORE DETAIL Who keeps gasoline in a jar? Who would keep it on their kitchen counter? Who would think gasoline looks like hot sauce? Who would have the desire to drink a jar of hot sauce? Who wouldn't immediately smell the gasoline upon opening the jar? I guess the irony is, after lighting that cigarette, the substance actually became literal hot sauce.
Rewatching the Darwin Awards series, and damn I feel bad for the first guy. Honestly seems like an honest, just, normal (ish) mistake Also applies to the guy with the footrest in the theater. It wasn't even his fault, if I drop my phone, sure as hell I'm gonna pick it up. Most other Darwin Awards holders are just complete idiots. Like for instance... taking a picture with a grenade is one thing. but PULLING THE PIN IS SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY
My mom told me about a story that happened a few years ago. I didn't get to witness it as I was watching TV, but apparently as she was outside there was a train parked beside the house. The house I used to live at had a train track beside it. While the train was parked she saw a boy who she said looked to be around 13-15 years old. This kid was so impatient that he literally crawled underneath the parked train while dragging his bike. He doesn't realize how dumb that was, but damn did he have luck on his side that day. If he would have died I would have put him on the #1 spot for Darwin Award winners.
The amount of people dying every year because they ran across train tracks without watching and got hit by a train... I read that in the news minimum once a year... Usually more often...
@@GodlikeIridiumHonestly I’m not surprised. I don’t want to say majority but it feels like the majority of people are very entitled and self centered so they’ll do dumb stuff like trying to outrun trains. Not surprisingly these people end up dead cause the train slams into them cause they can’t stop fast enough. I’ve watched people park on train tracks too and all I think is how much their funeral is gonna cost over sheer stupidity.
I like how that because of the fact that he was stupid enough to drink gasoline, nobody wonders why Gary was planning on chugging a bottle of hot sauce to begin with.
The stork gives it to them with every kid, so if they sub to t series, do a fortnite dance, or use the oh yeah yeah profile pic they can use it to kill them (every time you do this you get refunded a new kid)
"We've had vicious kings, and we've had idiot kings, but I don't think we've ever had a vicious idiot for a king!" -Tyrion Lannister So this is just true in all lines of work.
Not necessarily. There are components in an old CRT TV that hold a lethal charge well after the power is unplugged. I was taught (in the era of CRT monitors) that mess around inside a PC all you want, but NEVER fuck with the power supply or monitor.
Years back, there used to be a Military Surplus shop in the town that I live in, and some guy walked in and asked, "How much is this worth? Will you buy it from me?" and he pulls out a landmine. The shop keeper examined it and quickly (but carefully) placed it on the counter and ran out the door taking the customer with him. From outside he called the police, and the local police (who did not, and still does not have a bomb squad unit) called an air force base that's about 70 miles from here. They sent in an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Unit to remove the mine from the premises and detonated it at a nearby empty lot. I remember this vividly because the customer was not grateful that he was still alive, but was furious that some of his inherited property was destroyed without him being compensated for it.
John Davis Great story I think many towns had them. We had one too, i bought one as a minor and my father was furious, he was a WW II vet and made sure it was a dud.

It's sad that poor people starve to death or get killed by Terrorists in War. While people in countries with more wealth die because of their own incompetence.
The guy who drank gasoline and smoked, he deserves the top prize. I had a near pack a day habit for 25 years on and off and I wouldn't have been so dumb as to light up after a mouthful. Which I had happen once. Was siphoning gas out of the ATV to put in my car, to get to town to fill it up, cuz it had run out. Ran the tank dry by, you guessed it, smoking inside with the engine on to keep warm in the frigid weather.
I am shocked and appalled that many people find humour in the (often grisly) demise of the terminally stupid. So reassuring to know I am not the only one.
I was like "what the fuck? noooooo" video: "all he had to do now was weld it to the broom and..." me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-31g0YE61PLQ.html
What I don't understand is how he didn't even attempt to loosen the bag once he realized he had trouble breathing. Plus, assuming the bag wasn't thick, he could have easily ripped it apart in desperation.
Grenades are actually not even that dangerous IF you know how to handle them. After you pull the pin the grenade wont explode before you let go of the handle. After you let go of the handle there is a 4 second delay before it explodes.
It's suprising of how a single man thought that *Welding* a grenade to something was a good idea. Welding works with fire. Seriously. Think about it. Something explosive, like a grenade, can commonly explode via fire. He sure did win himself a platinum Darwin award though.
In the Darwin award book, there's a story about this guy. He was at the zoo with his buddies and drank too much that day. He decided it was a good idea to super glue his hands to the butt of a Rhino. Well, he didn't know that the zoo staff had given this said Rhino a TON of laxatives for its constipation... yes, this guy ended up drowning in Rhino diarrhea... would that make the list? LOL
Really does make you wonder what happens when we die. If there really is a mediator between us and the afterlife. They'd have to have the shittiest job next to toilet paper.

He had a severe panic attack which made his heart stop beating, in my opinion when your freaking out your heart skips beats in a panic attack its doubled and it interferes with the electrical beat causing a disturbance
*"It was discovered that there was very little brain matter left inside his skull. Although, the two pathologists joked that there couldn't of been much to start with."* *Joke 100*
I'm sure the bees were laughing their antennae off (giggling so high pitched that our human ears can't hear it) at how dumb the person's death was just as sweet as their own honey
1. Gas looks NOTHING like hot sauce. 2. Who tf chugs hot sauce? 3. Gas has a very clear odour. 4. Who leaves gas in their kitchen? 5. If all else fails, you should immediately know it's not hot sauce when it touches your tongue. 6. Gas is flammable, you just drank gas, probably isn't a good idea to put a flame to your mouth.
A jar of gasoline would smell like.. gasoline. I mean I smell it for hours even after washing my hands or clothes ever get a little drop of it after filling my car up. and indeed very odd to have a jar... of gasoline.
More likely if the story was true he would have thought it was moonshine. Still unless the guy was congested beyond belief he should have known as soon as the lid was taken off.
1. besides viscosity the colour depends on country, company, and type of fuel. 2. You'd be surprised. People love hot sauce, it wouldn't be the first inappropriate consumption of some kind of food substance. 3. It does have a very clear odour but it seems this person wasn't thinking, caught up with the possibility of tasty hot sauce and didn't stop to smell it. 4. An idiot does. 5. These are some very specific circumstances.
The big issue is why would convicts get tvs in their cells or at all ? Should be a punishment to be in prison and productive(work,eat,sleep basically). They should not enjoy it. " Man were you watching the WWF last night ?"
@@jakobkell7212 Well some of the scandinavian lands have really luxorious prisons wit h consoles etc. and they have some of the lowest crime rates. It gives inmates a perspective on how life could be and what they could achieve.
@@onespecialddnerd5933 No prison should have luxury in it. Crime is not supposed to be a positive when you're caught,you should suffer (loss of freedom,relaxing) A 24 hour day should be utilized with 8 hours sleep,4 hours to eat wash,laundry and 12 hours left = work. Remember chain gangs and how they were.
@@demonoxis6074 watching tv is not rehab and work is a way for criminals to be productive and help repay their cost to a country. Do we really believe that a serial killer can ever be rehabbed or a car thief ?
It's not so common now, but after WW2 many American veterans brought home memorabilia...most of them in DEWAT* condition, but it wasn't exactly impossible to get live stuff home, and over time people forget that it's live, or never knew it was live in the first place. *DEWAT=Deactivated War Trophy
When I lived in Florida an annoying and not too bright themselves coworker got aggravated with me because I laughed when they told me about having to take a day off work to go to a friend's funeral. Seems the guy had bought one of the good sized inflatable swimming pools with high sides on it secondhand and was too lazy to uninflate and reinflate it to move it, so he decided to squeeze it into the bed of his friends pickup truck and sit in it to secure it. It was too long to fit properly so they left the tailgate down. When they got onto the highway at high speeds wind caught it and caused him and he pool to fly out of the back of the truck, killing him.

A friend of mine once told a story of a couple of guys who had to go down a sewer (I think? I am not sure about the details of the story), and they decided to ignore safety regulations and not wear their compressed air masks. The first one went down and never came back. The second one went down and never came back. The third one decided to put on his compressed air mask after all. By the time he got down, his coworkers had already died. Safety regulations are there for a reason, folks!
In Chile in the 1990s there were minefields between Chile and Bolivia that were well marked. A geologist picked up one of the mines to get a closer look and that was the last thing he ever did. Don't play with mines and stay out of marked minefields, just because they are old doesn't prevent them from working (especially in a desert that receives almost no rain).
Gary: Man I'm Hungry. . . I Know!

@Planet Purgatory on one of the crime shows i watch, one of the episodes involved an explosion in a garage. upon finding pieces of the homeowner in other peoples yards one of the fingers had a grenade ring on it.. turns out the house was owned by a former army guy from the 60s and happen to leave behind a live one. new owner found it, idk what the shit he was thinking and pulled the pin.. Kablooie Destiny
Back in 2015 a 16yr old who had been heavily drinking all day decided it would be a good idea to stand on the outside balcony/walkway on the top floor and jump across the corner from 1 wall to the other 50 feet above a solid concrete path He made the jump however after highfiving 2 friends he made 1 more jump on the wall straight up in celebration but this time the high winds being so high up blew him back just far enough where he landed the celebration jump on his toes causing him to fall backwards headfirst into the concrete below, he died instantly I can find a newspaper article on this if you want to confirm it for yourself
The only smart part here is that he did it whilst sitting on a toilet. The body looses control of the bowels during heavy electrocution! That fecal matter has to go somewhere...
The cinema one doesn't really strike me as a dumb way to die, especially when compared to the others on this list. The guy dropped his phone on the floor, which could happen to anyone, and tried to retrieve it, his head got stuck but he died from a heart attack. It was more unfortunate than dumb. If he did something that moved the seat and caused it to snap his neck, then that would be a Darwin award.
One time I didn’t pull up a footrest and my friend showed it to me, he clicked the button and the footrest goes all the way right by the wall. My foot was by the wall and the footrest continued to raise as my foot got stuck underneath and almost got crushed, it was a really REALLY painful 4 seconds before I was able to fortunately move my foot.
If i recall the story i got told by a manager at a cinema goes like this . He dropped his phone and tried to retrieve it but got stuck under the recliner mechanism . Then while trying to get out again his wife/partner tried to assist and managed to brake somet then the mechanism locked on him . And he had a heart attack. I think it also broke his neck . Cuz somehow it closed with him inside .
What??? Dropping the phone or picking it up ain't dumb! But getting your head stuck like that is very, very dumb!! I'd say he was drunk 🤔 I'd have a heart attack aswell if I did something so stupid. My friends would kill me with there laughter if I didn't have the heart attack anyway
One day a year ago, I almost got myself a Darwin Award 😅. I was on a golf course with my dad. I’m 10 so I wasn’t golfing and my phone died. I got really bored and decided to do something stupid and funny. I leaped out of the golf cart while it was moving and almost got myself run over.
The problem there is that by the time you realise something is wrong, it's too late to do anything about it. You're no longer thinking properly and you don't have full control of your muscles anymore, either. Unless he knew in advance that he was going to suffer from oxygen deprivation and that he should tear the bag as soon as he started feeling woozy, then he wouldn't have a chance. Most likely, by the time he started feeling the effects of hypoxia, he had no idea why he was feeling funny. The rapid decrease in mental functioning means that he probably never worked out why he was feeling weird. Even if he did work out what was going on, by the time he did so, it would have been too late to do anything about it, as he'd no longer understand how he could remedy the situation (ie: he wouldn't understand how he could get out of the bag/ through the bag).
Unfortunately, many were already of breeding age..... And chances are high that many had mates..... We can only hope that their offspring learned from their stupidity.....
"My advice? Stay away from bears." Yes!!! Always stay away from bears. They are not cute, they are deadly. Why are so many people fucking with hand grenades? Don't mess with explosives!
I have a buddy who got blind-drunk one night. Whilst driving his Jeep home, through the boony woods, he hit a massive pothole that wasn't there when he'd driven through there before. Upon impact, he flew through the screen (no seatbelt) and landed just past the other side of the pothole. As he looked back, he expected to see his jeep in a smoking wreck. It wasn't anywhere he looked! Then, he looked up. A broken back and a year of traction later, he's been sober since. In short, I have an idiot friend who both ran over himself with his own vehicle (that he was driving), and lived to tell the tale (along with the sherriff's dept. and forestry service).
man: **chugs gasoline** Also the man: **survives** Man: that was crazy let me just have a little cigarette.....**burns and dies** Me: 🤦♀️ SERIOUSLY YOU WERE THIS CLOSE TO LIVING YOU ALMOST LIVED ANOTHER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hand grenade in the car really baffles me because even as a young child I knew hand grenades had a delayed fuse & would explode within five seconds once activated.
@Ryan Hodge I mean the dog with an IQ of 68 can understand 250+ words/gestures, a human with an IQ around 70 or lower is mental retardation FYI I get what you're doing it's not really fair to compare spices as the testing is different. Now you have seen Forest Gump yes? Well Forrest is based on an individual with an IQ of 75.... at 68 you shouldn't be left alone without adult supervision as you have the capacities of an average american 10 year old.. So yes the score is different as 68 with a dog puts them at a 2.5 year old roughly.. Though dogs tend to listen better so tie?
To be fair, many grenade types have a handle, lever or spoon that springs away upon being thrown, at which the actual fuze is started. As long as this part is held, the grenade is not yet on a timer. It's far from being intelligent, but when properly handling a non-defective grenade it would be 'safe' to pull the pin and reinsert it shortly after.
