Everyone should be grateful of being alive, because it’s so easy to end up dead for real, and in the worst case scenarios, you end up dead in the most unfortunate way.
Life is definitely a gift, but these people didn’t think it that well through. So our advice is to look both ways when you cross the road, and to not balance yourself in the balcony of a seven-story building.
1
Planking gone wrong
"A guy in Brisbane decided to try planking. He stretched himself out face-down on the railing and attempted to take a photograph, only to lose his balance and fall seven stories to his death."
2
Explosive gum
"A chemistry student had the habit of dipping his chewing gum in citric acid crystals while he worked. One day he dunked his gum into a weird chemical and put it back into his mouth making his face blow off."
3
Accident near the dishwasher
"The number of people who have died by tripping on the dishwasher door and falling onto knives that were put in point up is astonishing."
4
Franz Reichelt
"This guy jumped off the Eiffel Tower to demonstrate his "parachute trenchcoat”. It didn’t open."
5
Blame it on the juice
"This guy was constantly drinking carrot juice and overdosed on vitamin K."
6
Partied too hard
"My grand-father in law survived WWII, then once the peace treaty was signed he got drunk and fell off the watchtower."
7
Testing who's the most stupid
"I know of two guys who tested how a bullet proof vest would do against a knife. Not that good apparently."
8
Poisonous fish
"Guy stepped on a weirdly fish like rock. Turns out it was a Stone Fish in Australia, one of the most painful and venomous stings ever."
9
Doing it all for the 'gram
"Lady fell off the side of the grand canyon as she was backing up to take a picture of her newlywed husband."
10
Sigurd the mighty
"He beheaded his enemy in battle and slung the rope holding the head over the back of his horse to return home with it as a trophy, and the tooth in the decapitated head rubbed against the guy's leg as he rode, opening a cut, and giving him the infected wound that led to sepsis and killed him."
11
Jack Daniels
“The creator of Jack Daniels, Jack Daniels didn't die of alcohol poisoning suprisingly. Apparently he was trying to open a safe, but he forgot the combo, he kicks the safe in anger breaking his toe, he ended up dying from an infected toe.”
12
Oceangate
"Experimental submarine ride to the titanic ranks pretty far up there."
13
The chainsaw is fine
"I know someone who was a tree feller and they chopped down a tree but ran back to save his chainsaw, the tree landed on him and he died."
14
Just wanted some fruit
"Neighbor of mine died while he was holding a watermelon between his legs to cut it, the knife went from the watermelon to his femoral artery and died not long after."
15
Unfortunate events
"I heard of a guy who burnt his body when he fell asleep smoking. Wrapped up in a body cast in a hospital he bribed a nurse to light a smoke for him out back. Stuck in his wheelchair he lit himself a flame again, rolled down the ramp and blew up the oxygen tank."
