Embarrassingly Dumb Ways People Died - Darwin Awards Winners [Part 18] 

“Can you guess what happened? Consequences.. consequences happened” is by far the single funniest thing I’ve heard on this channel and I watch every vid. Keep up the good work!

As a wise man once said "Only two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity."

Well theoretically this series can never come to an end

I wanna buy that Darwin Awards poster and take it to my nephews elementary class and replace their 'Where's Waldo?' poster and see how long till someone notices.

This part won't end anytime soon. Can't wait for episode 20

how do people die in dumb ways so frequently that this man has made 18 parts of this series…

My favorite series is back!

I have a story from my country: In 1996, the competition organizers were surprised by a candidate from Poland. The award went to a farmer, Krzysztof A., who decided to prove that he was the biggest macho in the world by cutting off his own head. The winner, together with a group of drunk friends, organized a masculinity competition. When one of the participants cut off his leg with a chainsaw, he responded to the challenge by decapitating himself. This is not the end of the story, over the body of the "champion of masculinity" one of the friends paid a short tribute with these words: "even though in his youth he dressed in his sister's underwear, in the end he died like a man".

On October 27, 2019, Pamela Kreimeyer, a 56-year-old from Marion County, Iowa, was killed during an explosion during a gender reveal party. In an attempt to film a gender reveal worthy of posting online, members of her family filled a steel umbrella stand with gunpowder. Instead of emitting a shower of sparks as intended, the metal pipe failed to contain the overpressure, and the device acted as a pipe bomb instead. Kreimeyer was struck in the head by a metal fragment and was killed instantly. When will people learn that explosives and gender reveal parties rarely mix well?

DARWIN AWARDS ARE BACKKKKKK!! Time for laughter

The best series is baaaaackkk!! 100% getting that poster!

It is just amazing how there's so many Darwin Award winners out there 😂😂

I have one from when I was a teenager. A local boy in Auburn, CA, let’s call him Felix for this story, was apparently going to dive off the No Hands Bridge into the American River in March of 2010. Here’s a problem though. That river is pure snow melt and no one really swims in it til summer time and the water’s warmed up a bit. What’s worse is people have drowned in this river before. But he was throwing caution to the wind I guess so he jumped in and died from drowning cause the sudden shock of the cold water made him reflexively gasp for air and filled his lungs with water. He wasn’t found til two months later miles down river. What’s tragic is he was a high school senior and about to graduate with the rest of us.

In 2013, an unknown 60-year-old Belarusian fisherman was out fishing when he suddenly spotted a beaver. Wanting to have his picture taken with it, the man made the incredibly dumb decision to try and grab the 30 kg rodent. Now beavers have large skulls with powerful chewing muscles, as well as four chisel-shaped incisors that are really sharp--sharp enough to gnaw through tree bark and wood--that continue to grow throughout their lives. In other words, it would REALLY hurt if the beaver decided to bite him, which of course was exactly what ended up happening. The beaver gave the overly-handsy fisherman a nasty bite, and he eventually bled to death as a result. Moral of the story: admire nature, but do so from a distance.

I'm kinda surprised I'm not seeing any Florida Man stories here, however, I'm kinda glad too, because I myself am Floridian and I've never seen anyone do anything like anything I've seen on this channel. At least not in person...

I know a bit about the story @12:15, and I feel bad. I know each story can only get so much time, or else the video might be a little too long, but there were some key details left out. Like, the girlfriend didn’t want to do it at all. She thought it was a stupid idea and not worth the risk, but he begged and pleaded for her to try it because he wanted tons of views. He even tested it out beforehand to show her it was safe and the bullet didn’t go through the book when he did. So she finally agreed to it to make him happy, and they had so much confidence that it would work, they did it live in front of their friends and family (there were children around, and I think everyone was dumb for that. Keep children as far away from guns as possible). Well, we know what happens and it’s so sad because she wound up pregnant and in jail… oh yeah, she was pregnant with his baby the whole time and now that child has to grow up without ever knowing their father

YES!!! 🙌 The Darwin Awards 🏆 are back! 😄

18:32 a apple a day keeps the doctor away a raw marmet kidney one day takes your life away

Here is a story: A German submarine captain named Rolf Mutzelburg tried to dive in the ocean close to the Azores from the tower of U-203 september 11. 1942. But suddenly, a wave hit his submarine and he smashed his head in the deck and died. Very good video by the way!

This series of dumb ways to die goes perfectly with the dumb ways to die song😂

AND ON MY BIRTHDAY! What a fab birthday present!

We've all been waiting impatiently for this

I love watching this series

I love the light hearted music in the background as you narrate about people dying.

King Hyperion from Immortals: "That's it; I'm getting me mallet!"

I heard a joke once that went like this: There’s two men defusing a time bomb in a building. One has the scissors for cutting the wires, and the other is reading from the bomb defusal manual. The guy reading from the manual says “It says here to cut the blue wire…” *snip* “…after cutting the red one.”

Hey Jay and Wesley if we go to part 20 you two have to reveal your faces

Getting 13 missed calls on Friday the 13th from your mom should count

13:34 who knew that 50 AE, one of the biggest handgun caliber civilians can own, can puncture a book of words

Here’s the thing about the RU-vid gun story, it wasn’t the girlfriend’s idea to do it, but the boyfriend’s idea, the girlfriend actually tried to talk him out of it, but she eventually caved in, and that’s how this happened

In January of 2019, an unknown man from Massachusetts died after eating a bag and a half of black liquorice every day for a few weeks, which caused so low potassium levels in his body that his heart stopped. Liquorice contains glycyrrhizinic acid, which along with its metabolite glycyrrhetinic acid interferes with the body's ability to retain potassium by mimicking the hormone aldosterone, resulting in excessive excretion of the nutrient in cases of overconsumption, a condition referred to as pseudohyperaldosteronism. If you ever needed another reason to avoid eating black liquorice, here you go!

Part 18? I don't think this series will ever come to an end.

I firmly believe we should take all the warning labels off of every product and let nature take it's course! Great series man!! Can't wait for ep. 100!

6:45 I don't think he deserves a Darwin Award because he was just following orders and didn't know what he was handling. The supervisor, though...

My favorite series 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I'm already waiting for part 19

4:38 : I could play a "Where's the Darwin Award Winner" anyday ^^

This series will not end

I remember a story my dad told me like 2 years ago ( I don't really remember every part of the story, but I can remember some of the juicy stuff) , we were talking about poaching and how much we hate it but then my dad told me a story about his friend you saw 2 poachers while he was riding his car in field full of animals. He was a part of a group that stops poachers so he rushed to the spot were the poacher were going and he saw they were ready to an animal. I can't remember what animal was it actually was, it might be a Giraffe or a Rhino but any ways, while they were ready to shoot it, but my dad's friend ready his shot. What my dad told me, his friend shot one of them in the leg and the other poacher ran away leaving his friend behind. My dad friends manage to tarck down were he was running and the poacher was running to a river called the Mokolo river, a river in Limpopo , South Africa. The poacher jumped into the river to escape, but my dad's friend was waiting for him on the other side, but the poacher never made it to the other side because he was attacked an killed by a crocodile. The poacher that was shot in the leg was sent to jail mean while barely anything was left of the poacher that was killed the crocodile. As much I want to believe it me and my dad has questions if the story is true since his friend like making jokes. The only time I had a moment to talk to him about the story was when I visit him last year but I forgot about the story completely and I only remember about the story about when I got home. I remember while watching this video with my dad on the TV, I told him about the story and I said it would be nice to see that story on this series and he agree's but there isn't any photo's of it so we just watch on and then I got an idea that I should comment the story on this video, he laught and said no, but then I told him usually in night times I do the weirdest things and most of the time I won't take no as the answer. He knew I would tell the story in the comments, but either he's to tired or he didn't care, he said nothing and just smiled so this is why I'm telling the story.

we are under an hour, Under half an hour. Under ten minutes! HECK UNDER 5 MINUTES

Now that's a cool poster, almost as cool as my FNAF AR Poster.

I'm the son of an Australian truckie, and if there's one thing Dad taught me about big rigs, it's don't mess with them. Ever. It all but guarantees a Darwin award. Bring on part 19.

0:17 atleast use a dictionary and a kolibri and from a meter away not what looks like a normal textbook and a *_FREAKING DESERT EAGLE FROM HALF A FOOT AWAY_*

What a lovely surprise

The Bible specifically warns against false prophets, and false Christs. Those who try to replicate miracles in the Bible are among those who end up getting a Darwin Award.

on time finally lets get exploring

My favorite part of this channel's videos!! Bring it on!! 🤣 OMG, the one where the woman fell off the upward escalator at the mall is how a friend of mine died! A friend I grew up with in California was a good hearted kid, but always trying to get attention bcuz his step-brother (who was the all-star of everything) always got more attention. So my friend apparently sat on the railing, trying to balance like he was skateboarding, and lost his balance, fell, and broke his neck when he hit the ground. Needless to say we were all in shock bcuz he was very well educated, yet, obviously, not endowed with enough common sense. 😪

with the exploding tire incident you would need way more heat over an even area to explode the tire what the main contributor was probably the high temperature over the small area caused the rubber to weaken or melt or both causing the tire to explode, keep in mind that truck tires like that are often inflated up to 125 psi and with that much volume it is more than enough to end a person.

Ah, the good old Darwin Awards. Helping Nature with Natural Selection since the begining if time. And we definitely have aquired a very large pool of new candidates in the last couple of years.🤣🤣

20:17 That's meeeeeee omg I cant believe I was picked in this episode. I've been a major fan since the channel just started out. Now people will understand our saying "Jamaica isn't a real place" because darwin award winners are nominated too often. And the fact that my name was not mispronounced is the best.❤❤❤❤ Im like so famous now🥳

On March 27 1931, British novelist Arnold Bennett was dining in Paris with his partner, Dorothy. He drank two glasses of tap water during the meal, scoffing at Dorothy's claims that the water in Paris was not properly treated to be safe to drink. Within two days, he contracted typhoid fever and died two months later.

Very interesting about the plutonium container shape! You really do learn something new every day. Fantastic video as always!

There's a story here in Alaska that a tourist ran up to a polar bear to hug it. Some say he had two cokes in a cooler but I think that's just people trying to make a joke. 😂

This series never gets old

Story: Back in 2019 a super paranoid dude decided to set up a Home Alone-esque trap, it was literally a SHOTGUN attached to his front door that would activate whenever someone tried to entered the home, well an hour or so later the dude himself opened his own front door and triggered his own trap...And this is why you install security systems and cameras.

16:26 ngl having an entire thing of chicken and a pitcher of water sounds fire

Many thanks Be Amazed🤘🤘🤘 edit: what a beautiful poster..

DARWIN AWARDS ARE BACK!!😆

These half hour long videos are the best way to sleep.. Just start watching beAmazed videos and fall asleep half way..

2:20 florida man visiting australlia.

This is my faaaavorite series!

14:29 I was confused at first why someone wouldn't test if they could walk on water before they decided to show it off to onlookers. then I found out a good portion of religious people believe that for divine intervention to occur you must have complete faith in your religion and testing first would mean your faith wavered. Now my question is, why did they think divine intervention would take a break from helping people in actual need to help someone showing off.

You always deliver some hilarious stories and your narration is to "die" for 😆

Yes! I've been waiting for another Darwin award video!

4:04 That is cursed and I can never unsee this

Watching from zimbabwe

This video was so important, that when I opened this video, RU-vid didnt give me any ads and straight up gave me the video.

Yes!!! Part 18 is out!

As long as there are humans, there will always be Darwin Awards.

9:28 "25 minutes!!" "15 minutes!" "05 minutes." "6-h minutes?"

walk on water is easy, I do it several times every year. . Just remember to try it during winter when the lake is well frozen.

Here we go again

23:52 the twist😂

Part 18 is finally here!! Now where's part 19??

I've been waiting for weeks. I'm so happy!

17:39 was mentioned in part 4.

I’ve been waiting for part 18!

PART 18!?

I work with kids. So I love things like this poster. It looks so wholesome and nostalgic. I am 100% buying one.

People never learn

Best series ever

Cock fighting was made illegal because the roosters had sharp objects strapped to them, not because the birds were being made to, idk, kill each other?

LETS GOOOOOOO!!!! NEW DARWIN AWARS WINNERS!!!!!! I also remember a couple wanted to eat pufferfish. So without even researching what they were eating, they bought it and without a certificate, they cooked it and since it takes second to die from pufferfish, they were found dead.

0:38 Vid starts if your lazy to watch the intro

Episode 18 already, awesome 😂😂 I had completely forgotten about the Glasgow one, that was brilliant, the Glaswegians weren't taking any bollocks there... 😶🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely Love the poster merch you've designed, that's some serious work gone into creating that 😮❤😮

17:28 Honestly when will people learn to stop trying to use God to cover up their stupidity 🤦🏿

I may not have any stories to tell But support for the series shall never die Keep it up I’ll be waiting for part 19

I have a Darwin award story to tell! So one summer back in 2022 me and my mom where going to my favorite waterpark, I usually play in the little kids zone but sometimes I ride a big yellow waterslide which is next to an even bigger blue waterslide, but on this day, when I was going up the stairs to ride the yellow waterslide all the lifeguards ran down the stairs and locked the gate… When I asked what happened one of them said that something terrible had happened, it turns out a little girl and her father fell off the waterslide and were sent flying… The father had insisted on bringing a floaty on the yellow waterslide, but here’s the thing you only need a floaty on the blue waterslide… Luckily the daughter was unharmed and only suffered a few scratches, but her dad on the other hand won himself a Darwin Award… The worst part? The waterslide was closed for almost 20 minutes after that… Thanks a lot Dad.. 😓 Title: The Waterpark Worries

Keep up the great videos mate👍👍 I know how much work you put into them🎉🎉

🤦🏻‍♂️1:26 This story perfectly match a polish idiom saying "Don't divide skin on bear". Yes, it basically means not to do things too quickly without thinking and preparating first.. like literally skining a living bear 🇵🇱

This series will never get old

The first story is absolutely fake. How could anyone know about it?

finaly another darwin award vid! i'm soooo happy!

the name of the Glasgow bombers were Abdulla and Ahmed. Two traditional Scottish names. 9:35 The timer was not backwards it was upsidedown

13:46 - hey, I recognize that photo. I actually took that back in 2006, and we went on Batman during that trip (and even got to ride Deja Vu), however the "Batman" pictured is not the one at Six Flags over Georgia. Six Flags has a tendency to have a Batman ride in each of their parks. Most of them (including Georgia) are inverted coasters where the trains hang directly below the track, however the "Free Spin" at 13:48 is actually in California. Our honorable Darwin winner still qualifies however.

Wonder when part 100 is gonna come out

19:53 Well, it wasn't the first time that someone fell to their death at The W.T.C..

My sleep paralysis demon 4:03

He finally brings back the series 😮😮😮

Named Darwin Awards because Darwin and his theory was answering is just plain stupid!

My favorite never ending series
