The guy who smashed open the RPG The only thing I can assume is he had no idea what it actually was.

[robertfarrow]

My aunt married a nasty man. He was due to retire. Her mother said "hes going to make her life miserable, if there was any justice he'll not make it". One day before retirement he dropped at work of a massive heart attack.aunt collected both death in work benefits and the pension. And a peaceful life with her animals she adopted. Nobody EVER annoyed her mother in the family. We were never sure she wouldnt hex us too.

The dude who who used a chainsaw to cut open a hand grenade is hands down one the top winners in this series, like how did he think that was going to end 🤦🏻‍♀️

[lauralee]

R.I.P. all these people.

Even if they were dumb.

[Corrie-_-]

I love watching these. As sad as it is that they died, it sure teaches you what never to do lol

Here's a story for part 13:
1992 - Bobby Scott retired from the Navy after 40 years of honorable service. As Bobby and his wife left a Virginia hardware store, she drove the pickup truck while Bobby stood in the bed holding down a piece of plywood. It should be noted that Bobby was a master chief boatswain's mate, so normally he would tie down something like the plywood. When his wife made a sudden stop in traffic, the old sailor and the plywood went airborne, with the master chief crash landing on the pavement. This was a tragic end to what would've been a happy retirement.

Using a chainsaw to cut open a hand grenade seems like the big winner to me.

I love how it’s acceptable to mock the death of someone’s child/parent/relative/friend when they died in a stupid way. And I’m here for it.

If I die in such a stupid way I expect to earn a Darwin Award and have my incident mocked all over the internet 🤣

A RPG shell explodes when the front nose cone is crushed inward arming the fuse, usually this happens when you fire the shell at a target which hits it and blows up but hitting it with the sledgehammer works too if you have a death wish

Favorite lawyer joke.

Did you know that scientists are considering using lawyers in research instead of rats? They have 3 main reasons.

1. There are now more lawyers than rats.

2. The lab technicians don’t become emotionally attached to the lawyers.

And finally

3. There are just some things rats won’t do!

[KerryBuchanan]

The lawyer one is wrong. It's even dumber. He was touring some interns and they were afraid to approach the floor-to-ceiling window. So to prove how strong it was, he took a running start and intentionally jumped and slammed his entire bodyweight against the panel. It...didn't end well for him

[Grendelful]

It's nice that you guys at least done some research to discern the origins of these stories, and honest enough to share Urban Legends without claiming them to be true. That way we can be both entertained and informed. Keep up the good work.

[niktodarksidelegendary]

great to see more series about dumb ways people have died hope we see more series about dumb thieves getting caught or influencers embarrassingly caught scamming people keep up the good work.

[alpine]

Even years later and this Darwin award series is still going strong
Always loved these, keep em up!

[anonymoususer]

The fact that someone that dumb somehow got ahold of that many RPGs is a little terrifying. I genuinely want to know how he got them either without realizing what they were or without thinking about how dangerous they were.

[wilddrake]

Dude...if it ain't copyrightable, you need to make that Darwin Award Trophy as merch. I would LOVE to have one

[KayoYuuki]

The guy who jumped into the trash disposal thing gave me shivers 😨

[DeltaWhiskeyBravo]

If the umbrella swallower story would have been real, it would reinforce why it's not a good idea to open one while inside.

[xanderunderwoods]

I feel bad for the last guy because he was at least trying to do something good
