*STORY FOR YOU* In Ottawa Canada, back in 2001, I knew a guy who had stolen some stuff from The Bay store on Rideau street. When the LP officers gave chase, he ran out the store and ran into some cops who were sitting outside (might have been having a coffee or chatting, I don’t know). When the LP officer yelled, the cops gave chase too. He took off and while running from the police, he had ran into a parking garage and went up to the 2nd level. The garage had an open wall on the south side of the structure on each floor so you could see outside, with just a 3’ wall to stop cars from going over. He ran to the end and looked down to see a dumpster full of garbage bags. So he jumped in thinking it would break his fall. Turned out it was a construction dumpster filled with demolition materials (drywall, framing, steel studs, glass and garbage bags etc). He jumped in feet first and it ended up that he impaled his “sun don’t shine” area with a split 2x4 with nails. Needles to say, the doctors couldn’t really help him and he ended up winning a fork in a socket trophy.
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.
One lucky S.O.B. Was attacked by an angry beaver, but survived because he was wearing Duluth Trading Co.’s Firehouse Canvas workpants. Somehow, someone got it all on video and uploaded it. While I don’t know if the story is true or not, I do know that Duluth now uses the motto “stronger than an angry beaver’s teeth” when advertising their workpants.

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.

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".
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!
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.

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?
Yeah. The Soviet tech in the nuclear research facility does not deserve a Darwin because A.) He had no way of knowing how the plutonium would react to being placed in that particular container. Ignorance is not stupidity. In fact, when the plutonium reacted badly, he did the smart thing and ran as fast as his legs could carry him, which probably saved his life. B.) If he hadn't obeyed orders, he likely would have been executed as a "counter-revolutionary." We ARE talking about Soviet Russia here, with their notorious "military efficiency" where they just gun down soldiers who are SUSPECTED of disobeying orders, without trial. And there's no way in hell a nuclear research facility is a civilian operation in the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics. C.) Unless the radiation that cost him his legs also damaged his reproductive organs to the point of impotence or otherwise rendered him sterile, he can still reproduce. Now that supervisor, who was briefed on the danger and dumped the stuff in the sewers? Dying as a result? OH YEAH! He gets a Darwin.
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. 😪
Another issue is that designing and building an escalator where it is possible to fall ten meters shows the same lack of intelligence as the Darwin Award recipients.
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!
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
@@cboyles84 Yes, while stupid, she was basically pressured into it by her boyfriend though some really abusive (emotional and verbal) means. A lot of people theorize he really wanted to go through with it as a double win for himself. If he dies, people will forever remember the story. And it was also possible by how much he pushed, he was trying to get her to help him in an assisted suicide.
The tire explosion was not caused by the expansion on the air. It was caused by the burning of the coating on the rim inside. Under high pressure, there is more oxygen in a smaller area, and this caused a thermal runaway effect due to the combustion of the epoxy coating on the rim. Therefore, more combustion gasses cause the pressure to increase, not simply heating the air inside. This is actually a well documented phenomenon, and it is common knowledge to NEVER weld on tire rims.
In the words of Forrest Gump, "Mamma always says, 'Stupid is as stupid does.'" As far as walking on water goes: You've got to know where the submerged rocks are.😂
Here’s the thing about the UA-cam 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
Even so, the very thought of a book stopping a .50 AE round (which can easily penetrate level 3A body armor) at point blank range is laughable - the fact that she even *could* be talked into a stunt like this means that she’s missing some marbles…
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.
I actually posted a comment about this up top. It's a documented phenomenon caused by the burning of the epoxy coating on tire rims. Remember, under high pressure, air has MUCH more oxygen molecules in a smaller area. This leads to a thermal runaway reaction causing rapid build-up of combustion gases. This causes over pressure and rupture of the tire. There are some pretty scary videos on UA-cam where they use a robot to weld on a pressurized tire with scary results. 😮

My name is Aiden, and I once knew a man named Tim, he wasn’t the smartest person, but he at least used to have brain cells to live. One time we were out in the forest of our campsite in Delaware. Our flashlight died, and I don’t know why he did this, but for some reason he put the batteries in his mouth, and accidentally swallowed them. You could probably guess what happened after that.

i have a good one: Petting a cobra wasn’t the only thing that killed Wayne Roth in 1997; however, it was the main thing. Roth was already under the influence when he went to visit his friend in Pennsylvania, who happened to own a cobra. Roth stuck his hand in the snake’s tank, and the snake objected. When Roth was bitten, his friend recommended they go to the emergency room immediately; but Roth refused, and instead went to a nearby bar. By the time his friend finally persuaded him to go to the hospital, it was too late; Roth died on the way, from a combination of drugs, alcohol, and cobra venom. do you like it?

As an EMT/FF, one summer we responded to a drowning in a local river. We got there & found out 2 more people tried to save him...they got into the river (BTW posted no swimming, dangerous currents, etc.) & drowned...however, the initial call was by the 2 drowned would be rescuers..the original victim? Found a small island & was able to climb up on it & awaited rescue. Over the next week, 2 more drownings in the same river & tho separate incidents, failed to heed the warning signs...😢😮❤
One for the Darwin Awards. in 1997, in Quebec City, QC, CAN, a teenager was convinced that his car was a speed machine. So, in the middle of the night, he and 3 friends got in it, and then used a public street as a speedway. Unfortunately, at around 170km/h, the can went out of control, hit a parapet, and then did multiple barrel rolls, sending 2 of them on the Fast Lane to a Darwin Award.

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 who 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 shoot 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 track 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.
Damn, he not only made one hell of a series, he also manually made the subtitles too. You can see that the subtitles are actually correct, that’s how you know it was manually made

Slight correction on the guy trying to get his hat from the Batman roller coaster: That particular coaster is an inverted coaster, so the seats hang from the bottom of the track, instead of riding on top of them. You know, the kind where your feet dangle. There's one part of the coaster that swoops low to the ground before going up and over a building. It's pretty cool to see because it almost passes over you while you're waiting in line. So this guy went back through the line again, jumped the fences, and went to grab his hat right as the coaster was going by. He wasn't struck by the coaster car, he was struck by a rider's leg, which, no surprise, broke on impact. The difference between the fence before and after the incident was truly wild. It's twice as high and has barbed wire around the top of it now, with even bigger signs. I always felt bad for the poor guy who suffered a broken leg and hand to deal with the knowledge that he was involved in someone's death, through no fault of his own. The ride itself is pretty cool though, definitely recommend if you're a coaster enthusiast and find yourself in Atlanta. 😅

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.
@@joduh4665 Imagine growing up with religious people and having them lie to you your whole life about what faith will do for you. Faith cannot be rationalized, but the mental deficiency of those who believe in faith can.
@@sanddagger36 As someone who grew up with religion I always got told: Yes having faith is important. But there is a reason God gave us a brain. He did so we could think for ourselves instead off always constantly relying on Him. Because if thats what He wanted He would have turned us into puppets. So you know not every religious person believes faith fixes every single thing.

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!
I can also cause impotence and low sperm counts!

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.

In 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, on March 27 1931.
That's the date he died in England.
He drunk tap water whilst on holyday in Paris in January 1931.

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...
C'mon Louisiana, Represent!
Also a native Floridian born in Milton. Thought it was weird that the two dudes from the terrorist act in the Philippines we're obviously depicted as white so I looked it up. They were Muslim. So then I looked up the prior terror attack in Scotland, guess what... also brown skin Muslims. WTF Be Amazed ?

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?
Who does that😢
@@vonshIdiots who want clout over revealing just the gender of their baby
Why couldn't the lazy family hire a pyrotechnics expert to do that?
"Members of her Family filled a steel umbrella stand with Gunpowder".3Rd grade Science was hard I guess.😂
If Kreimeyer didn’t know other family put gunpowder in it, it doesn’t count as Darwin Award
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...
also he didnt die and darwin awards are generally for people that die. The supervisor definitly deserves one 100%
Yeah. The Soviet tech in the nuclear research facility does not deserve a Darwin because
A.) He had no way of knowing how the plutonium would react to being placed in that particular container. Ignorance is not stupidity. In fact, when the plutonium reacted badly, he did the smart thing and ran as fast as his legs could carry him, which probably saved his life.
B.) If he hadn't obeyed orders, he likely would have been executed as a "counter-revolutionary." We ARE talking about Soviet Russia here, with their notorious "military efficiency" where they just gun down soldiers who are SUSPECTED of disobeying orders, without trial. And there's no way in hell a nuclear research facility is a civilian operation in the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics.
C.) Unless the radiation that cost him his legs also damaged his reproductive organs to the point of impotence or otherwise rendered him sterile, he can still reproduce.
Now that supervisor, who was briefed on the danger and dumped the stuff in the sewers? Dying as a result? OH YEAH! He gets a Darwin.
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. 😪
wow that must be sad bro
Another issue is that designing and building an escalator where it is possible to fall ten meters shows the same lack of intelligence as the Darwin Award recipients.
The best series is baaaaackkk!!

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.

You mean the date? That's a coincidence. Or because of the video?

@@TordSakariassen
Yes, I mean the date. And it was a not-so-elegant way of showing that I got a "milestone" in Duolingo exactly at nine-eleven.
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

@@ItsdaanonFortunately or unfortunately, that person has a right to voice their asshole opinion just like everyone else.
True but she was still stupid for going along with it 🤷 I feel for the kids, though.
@@cboyles84 Yes, while stupid, she was basically pressured into it by her boyfriend though some really abusive (emotional and verbal) means. A lot of people theorize he really wanted to go through with it as a double win for himself. If he dies, people will forever remember the story. And it was also possible by how much he pushed, he was trying to get her to help him in an assisted suicide.
The tire explosion was not caused by the expansion on the air. It was caused by the burning of the coating on the rim inside. Under high pressure, there is more oxygen in a smaller area, and this caused a thermal runaway effect due to the combustion of the epoxy coating on the rim. Therefore, more combustion gasses cause the pressure to increase, not simply heating the air inside. This is actually a well documented phenomenon, and it is common knowledge to NEVER weld on tire rims.

Here’s the thing about the UA-cam 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
Even so, the very thought of a book stopping a .50 AE round (which can easily penetrate level 3A body armor) at point blank range is laughable - the fact that she even *could* be talked into a stunt like this means that she’s missing some marbles…
50AE, not ACP. ACP is Automatic Colt Pistol, while AE is Action Express.

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.
I actually posted a comment about this up top. It's a documented phenomenon caused by the burning of the epoxy coating on tire rims. Remember, under high pressure, air has MUCH more oxygen molecules in a smaller area. This leads to a thermal runaway reaction causing rapid build-up of combustion gases. This causes over pressure and rupture of the tire. There are some pretty scary videos on UA-cam where they use a robot to weld on a pressurized tire with scary results. 😮
This series of dumb ways to die goes perfectly with the dumb ways to die song😂

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. 😂

i have a good one: Petting a cobra wasn’t the only thing that killed Wayne Roth in 1997; however, it was the main thing. Roth was already under the influence when he went to visit his friend in Pennsylvania, who happened to own a cobra. Roth stuck his hand in the snake’s tank, and the snake objected. When Roth was bitten, his friend recommended they go to the emergency room immediately; but Roth refused, and instead went to a nearby bar. By the time his friend finally persuaded him to go to the hospital, it was too late; Roth died on the way, from a combination of drugs, alcohol, and cobra venom. do you like it?

One for the Darwin Awards. in 1997, in Quebec City, QC, CAN, a teenager was convinced that his car was a speed machine. So, in the middle of the night, he and 3 friends got in it, and then used a public street as a speedway. Unfortunately, at around 170km/h, the can went out of control, hit a parapet, and then did multiple barrel rolls, sending 2 of them on the Fast Lane to a Darwin Award.

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 who 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 shoot 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 track 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.

Slight correction on the guy trying to get his hat from the Batman roller coaster: That particular coaster is an inverted coaster, so the seats hang from the bottom of the track, instead of riding on top of them. You know, the kind where your feet dangle. There's one part of the coaster that swoops low to the ground before going up and over a building. It's pretty cool to see because it almost passes over you while you're waiting in line. So this guy went back through the line again, jumped the fences, and went to grab his hat right as the coaster was going by. He wasn't struck by the coaster car, he was struck by a rider's leg, which, no surprise, broke on impact. The difference between the fence before and after the incident was truly wild. It's twice as high and has barbed wire around the top of it now, with even bigger signs. I always felt bad for the poor guy who suffered a broken leg and hand to deal with the knowledge that he was involved in someone's death, through no fault of his own. The ride itself is pretty cool though, definitely recommend if you're a coaster enthusiast and find yourself in Atlanta. 😅

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.
