Some of these people died through no fault of their own, idiocy or not. Some of them were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The guy with the lawn chair and the helium balloons-I'm glad he survived but it dismays me to know that he's out there potentially able to reproduce.

#13 should not be included . . . He wasnt doing something stupid . . . Unlike the story before . . . How many times do you have to say "stark reminder"? Get a thesaurus!

[johngregory]

Thumbs down. A number of these aren’t Darwin awards worthy. Learn what Darwin awards really are

I love my animals and all animals at that, but I don't want nor have ever thought of having sexual relations with an animal 😳. I don't even like it when my dogs lick me, let alone having an intimate moment with them. People are just sick.

#FancyTopic The following story is true, as far as I know.
In the same army, on the same day, two discrete units were conducting field training.
At the uneventful day's end, a soldier from one unit found a LAW rocket that had been left behind by the other unit.
This soldier's unit had no training on the LAW rocket.
He brought it back to the barracks.
In showing it off, he accidentally cocked it.
Shocked by his mistake, he tried to un-cock it. He held it upright.
Using the floor for leverage, he began to jump on it, using his torso to put the rocket back into its...
He stayed alive for a good few minutes, stupified by the perfectly round and cauterized hole where his innards were just seconds before.
I hope he saw some sky before he died, through the roof hole the bullet made.
I can't remember whether it happened in Colombia or Peru.
Both front and back blast areas must be cleared.

#3 is pretty similar to the guy who worked in a high rise office and continued to demonstrate how unbreakable the windows were, and whilst the window didn’t break the stress of him throwing himself at it several times lead to the seal around the window frame to break causing him to fall to his death

Click bait, some of these stories are pure accidents.

Before putting out a video, you need to understand the topic you are showing. Accidents and suicides are not Darwin Award winners, but tragic events. SMFH

While shooting a rocket launcher in a building is beyond stupid, why would the guy who shot it be killed? Apparently, my ignorance of rocket launchers is evident if this really happened

[daleakersii]

Gasoline is literally his fuckin’ job! There’s no possible way he wasn’t aware that gasoline fumes are explosively flammable.

Amost of these only show that legislation is often governed by the actions of the most stupid among us.

Jimi Heseldon DID NOT INVENT THE SEGWAY as you said at the start. IT WAS NOT HIS OWN INVENTION

#10; when I was in the survival portion of the SFQC, one of the requirements was to seek out and, in front of the instructors, consume an insect of our choice that we were able to find in the area of the class(we were outside). Soon all 80 or so of us were standing around one of the instructors and on their command, we had to pop it in and swallow it. It was pretty awful. Only after the entire class had accomplished this task, the instructor then said, in mock embarrassment, “I am so sorry gent’s, I forgot to tell you that if you don’t intend to chew your bug, it is a good idea to pluck off their legs to keep them from crawling back up!” Whether they do, will or can I have no idea, but it was pretty darn funny to many of us…yes, a few guys puked and guys like me drank every ounce of my two 1qt canteens to make sure I washed down and kept it down.😂😂😂😮

Kind of stupid is an understatement, also you just can’t fix stupid

Quite a few errors on the narrator's part. 1. The first defendant went over the railing head-first, not feet-first. 2. The mother pulled the gun from her coat pocket, not her handbag. 3. Not all of these are Darwin award deaths.

#11; there were many a night when my soldiers, who were on guard duty in the bases towers equipped with the latest night vision technology, could see goat herders in the local area REGULARLY partake in pleasuring themselves with a member of their flock. When asked what, if anything, they could do to help the livestock. I was stumped, on one hand, this was their country and their rules; on the other, it was just not something that they could condone. So we came up with a solution, whenever a guard positively identified and concluded that abuse was happening, they were authorized to launch an illumination grenade or call for one of our light mortars to fire an illumination shell. There were a few times when the herder was NOT phased in the least! So we would drop a high explosive round/shell somewhere close enough to spook the animal but at least two or three times the maximum range to hurt anyone.

Reckless behavior is an understatement it's not Reckless it's bloody stupid

#10 doesn't count either. HOW CAN IT BE YOUR 'STUPID FAULT' WHEN AN UNFORESEEN ACCIDENT BIZARRELY OCCURS?

There is no way that someone can die from the electricity in Bluetooth headphones.
I know people have died while recharging mobile phones in a bath, but that isn't the phone battery, that would be because the mains power probably an extension cord that the charger was plugged into may have fallen into the bath.
My point is 5 volts DC from a Bluetooth headphone probably wouldn't even Tingle on your tongue let alone kill you
