I know one too :In 1997, Police in Reston, Virginia, issued a statement saying they had found the body of 22-year-old Eric Barcia, who had apparently died attempting to bungee jump off a 70 foot bridge. Eschewing commercial bungee operations, Eric had apparently taken matters into his own hands and tied several bungee cords together. He strapped himself on securely, tied the other end to the bridge, and jumped, confident in the knowledge that he’d carefully measured out the bungee’s total length - just under 70 foot. Of course, what Eric had forgotten was that bungee cords stretch. At least he got the Darvin reward when he landed😂

Regarding the MRI scanner Darwin Award. I nearly got one of them but instead ended up in A&E for a minor head wound. Long and short of it is I was given a patient gown, the ones with cut out side and normally, no pockets. This gown had a chest pocket. In which I dropped the metal locker key I had been given for a locker I stored my personal belongings+clothes in. Before entering the MRI room a nurse asked me if I had anything metallic on me. I patted my thighs where normally my trouser pockets would be, laughed and said I’ve got no pockets. I was then admitted to the MRI room and laid down on the patient tray as a doctor explained what was going to happen. Well as you can imagine the moment the MRI was switched on the locker key was pulled out of my pocket, bounced off my high cheek bones missing my eye, caught my skin across the forehead tearing it a bit and then glued itself to the MRI machine with a loud bang. Doctor had his hand over the kill switch. The one that would dump the coolant and destroy the very expensive super magnet but stop the machine in an instant. He said he had visions of the key entering my ocular cavity and rattling around the inside of my skull leaving me a vegetable if lucky. As is I put a significant dent in a very expensive machine and got laughed at by the nurses for getting admitted to A&E for a minor head wound when I initially turned up to hospital for a back injury related MRI scan. The flip side is I caused my local hospital to change it’s process regarding patient gowns with chest pockets, metal keys and nurses not just accepting a patient has no pockets because they jokingly said so. I’d like to think my almost Darwin Award prevented someone else definitely getting one. So there you go. You never know when you may be about to be a contender for a Darwin Award so keeps your wits about you. I really should have known better than to absent mindedly drop a metal key into a pocket before going to a MRI scan.

As I had got some welding slag into my eye years before and was not sure whether it had all been removed I told them about it. They quickly put me through a head x-ray to check. There were no iron bits left in my eye. Good to check to be sure. Obviously you don't want to x-ray everybody if there is no reason at all to believe that they have ferromagnetic material hidden somewhere inside the body.

I have one for Darwin Award. In 2007 the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl. The night they won we had a Snowstorm here in Indy. A man went to a Colt Sports bar in Indy to watch the game and made the unfortunate decision to drive home drunk that night after the game. The area on way to his home is in wealthy Carmel, Indiana which is rural with large estates. On way home the man's car got stuck in a snow drift. He lived a few miles away and decided to walk home abandoning his car. He was reported missing the next day and police found his car. The NEXT day a hunter found his body. What happened the drunk man walked through the woods on his way home and became disoriented by the snow storm. He walked right off the ledge of a rock quarry falling about 30 feet to the ground where the hunter found him dead. The lesson once again is don't drive drunk, abandon your car in a snow storm and try walking home in a snow storm drunk.

I have a Darwin Award from 2017 that was, unfortunately, given to one of the only people who didn't bully me in school due to my high functioning autism and ADHD. This was during summer break before we started 8th grade. The friend in question was out with some of his other friends and decided to go "hood surfing" in a busy parking lot. Hood surfing is an activity where people slide across the hood of random cars and is a stunt commonly performed in action movies. However, he didn't realize that one of the cars he was about to surf was starting to pull out. He slipped and fell off the hood of the car and got his skull crushed under the moving car's tire. He was quickly rushed to the hospital, but still didn't survive. For context, this happened somewhere in Wyoming in the city of Cheyenne. I wasn't there personally, but since the school i went to was in a small town called Burns, news got around fast

[@aperson9495]

When riding a motorcycle, the odds are heavily stacked against you. I'm not saying you CAN'T be saved by wearing a helmet, heck, my grandfather laid his motorcycle down after hitting a dog that ran out in front of him many years ago and walked away with just some road rash. But during my time as a volunteer firefighter, I saw more than a few motorcycle involved crashes and in not one call that I responded to did the person on the motorcycle survive, despite wearing a helmet. The bottom line is yes, wearing a helmet MIGHT save your life, but the odds of it aren't great. If you just lay the bike down like my grandfather did, your odds are pretty good, but if you hit something and get launched off the bike, not so much. One call I responded to, the person driving the motorcycle drove straight into a power pole and got launched off the bike square into the pole. Kind of hard to survive with your neck broken and chest caved in and mush from impacting the pole 😳.

His wheel collapsed and the front fork failed, and he got launched, fortunately landing in an open spot. He broke his ankle, and split his helmet, but suffered no other injuries. The doctors were clear that he likely would not have survived without the head protection.

Just as I was graduating high school, I was working at a lumber store. I worked 2nd shift at the store so I didn't know what had happened during the day shift. Turns out, a young guy about 19-20 was crushed by about 2000 lbs of dry wall. Apparently, the forklift driver had lifted the drywall up about 2 ft so the guy could put 2x4 spacers underneath. He couldn't keep the spacers even so he slid his body underneath to fix the space. The guy was crushed to death when one of the forks on the lift had broken thus killing the guy instantly. From what I remember, the fork that broke was broken before and welded back on and placed back into service.

@@MrAranton Perspective has nought to do with it. Punctuality has a definition which normal, rational people adhere to. It means "ON TIME". Nothing else is appropriate.

[@MrAranton]

@@Tess_Tickal yes it does. Your perspective influences what your definition of „on time“ is. Iirc Germany‘s DB considers a train late when it‘s more than six minutes behind schedule. If you think of it, that‘s nothing, particularly with long distances. If you’re six minutes late after a five hour journey that‘s about 2% of your travel time. Now if you compare this to poorer countries with worse infrastructure - i.e. 90% of the world - being just six minutes behind schedule isn‘t a delay worth complaining about, it‘s frigging awesome! I get there are worse delays than those six minutes. And if you muss your connection, it make little difference by how much you miss it. But that doesn‘t change the fact that compared to most other countries Germany‘s rail system is top notch.

This one happened during the selfie boom. In Iaşi, Romania, a girl decided it would be a great idea to take a selfie on top of a train. After getting up not only she electrocuted herself on the conductors and cables above but she catched fire and was launched off the train in a pretty messy burnt state. I guess you could say her burning selfie-ing for attention shocked her.

I have a Darwin Award from 2004 2 pilots were ferrying a CRJ-200 from Little Rock to Minneapolis for its flight the next day. But while flying it, they decided to climb the plane to its top altitude of 41,000 feet to join “the 410 club” with other CRJ pilots. Safe to say that they didn’t monitor their speed and the engines weren’t providing as much power at such a high altitude. While the plane stalled and fell 20,000 feet, the engines permanently flamed out. The pilots did recover but their situation was far from over. They didnt follow the checklists on restarting the engines and adding insult to injury, they passed 5 other airports nearby to make an emergency landing. Although they chose Jefferson City Airport, safe to say that they didn’t make it. The plane crashed into a rural neighborhood and neither pilot survived.

Nobody is going to blame the guy for shooting the robber. Everyone else thought the fake gun was real too. Replica guns are made to look exactly like the real thing and are sometimes used by criminals who mistakenly think that since they didn't use a real gun their charges or sentences might be lighter. In reality, they'll still get charged as if their gun was real and they'll face the danger of someone shooting them dead - just like this.

Whilst doing some DIY bungee jumping off of a 140ft high, stone railway arch, I almost got a Darwin award. Anyone who's done a bungee jump knows that you swing front to back. On the back swing, the bungee cord recoiled me into the underside of the stone arch, fracturing my skull. To give you some idea how I use to roll as a kid, I've also driven under a parked car at 50mph on a home made go cart. Accidentally set the house on fire. Got electrocuted twice. And at 13, had already blown myself up with DIY fireworks....twice. My mum said "it was the proudest day of her life that I made it to adulthood."

It’s not an ACTUAL Darwin Award, but, it ALMOST was……………. I LOVE to read. As a teenager, I did A LOT of reading. R L Stine, the way the human body works, recipe books, books on animals, herbal remedies, pretty much whatever I could get my hands on. So, I was about 13 or so. I was reading a book at home. I don’t recall the name of the book, but, it HAD to be about how tea was made. I read a part that said that tea was made by pouring boiling water over dried leaves. I got excited(because I LOVE tea). I thought to myself “gee we have LOTS of dried leaves in the garden(my mom grew lots of different kinds of fruit trees on her property & it was Winter). I marked my spot in the book, & rushed out to the garden. I happily grabbed several leaves that were dried & didn’t have bird poop on them from the first tree I got too(it was an apricot tree). I took them inside & boiled some water. I made myself a nice little cup of hot tea( adding sugar, honey, & lemon to taste). After I made & drank the tea. I went to bed. The next day I was sick(as if I had the flu). My mom( knowing I’d made the tea the night before), got worried & called the poison control center. After talking with the lady on the phone(& asking me which tree I’d gotten the leaves from), my mom found out that peach trees & apricot trees have cyanide in them! The lady on the phone said thankfully, each time I’d added something to the leaves(water, honey, sugar, & lemon), that the cyanide got diluted to a certain level & that I must have managed to dilute it to where I just got enough of it to make myself sick! My mom was told to treat me as if I had the flu. The lady told my mom that if I got worse or didn’t get better in a few days to take me to the doctor/hospital. If ONLY I’d continued reading, I WOULD have read that the leaves were TEA(or some other kind of edible herb)LEAVES! So, I ALMOST committed suicide(without me even feeling suicidal)! 😰😱😨🙄

Fun Fact: DB (which is germany's trains) is on time only ~60% of the time given the average for 2023 from many sources. However, (in my opinion) this isn't taking into account the vast number of strikes and the actuals of how german trains run which unlike germans overall are punctual and on time...german trains are not and will arrive when they feel like it. Don't worry, i'll be happy to share another fun actually correct fact next time also so Be Amazed can learn something.

[@Akiraspin]

The phrase comes from the 1930's when the Nazi's ran an extremely neurotic tight ship. The trains were on time because if they weren't the Nazi's would find who was responsible and needless to say you don't want to be on the Nazi's shitlist. The "trains running on time" is referencing the fucking trains carrying Jews to Auchwitz because they wanted to exterminate them as fast as possible. You aren't impressing anyone with your lack of knowledge about an internationally common turn-of-phrase. If you're actually German you should fucking know this lmfao.

[@guardianeifie]

So #2 on this list is very close to SOP at a place I used to work at for reaching things on the ceiling such as light fixtures and fire pipes. The differences are: 1) we use an iGPS pallet instead of wooden pallets, which are more suitable for this, 2) we use only one pallet instead of a stack to reduce the number of points of failure, and 3) we don't move the pallet at elevation with a worker on it. There's also a load stabilizing grate, so we can connect a harness to that grate and it would hold a worker's weight if the worker fell from the pallet and prevent him from falling to the ground.

There was a man here in my city who definitely deserves a Darwin Award. In Brazil, at the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, citizens in a chunk of Campo Grande city were left with no power, yet despite having no light bulbs to turn on, the sky was just as bright as any other source of light could be. They were huge flames, so bright you could see it from miles away. Security from an electric substation knew exactly what happened, as they witnessed everything, yet couldn't believe someone would be so dumb to do that. Turns out some rando decided to climb all the way up a high tension pole to steal modernity's gold: copper wires. A decision so dumb not even security believed he was actually there as not even they could get close. While the man managed to get a good chunk of wires, after all those lucky shots, it was time for a shocking surprise. The pole exploded and I believe, without a doubt, he deserves a big fat Darwin Award. (Link to videos in the comments below)

I'm really lucky that I didn't end up in this series. Back in 1979, I pulled my car into the driveway where I was living. Just as I got to the parking spot, it ran out of gas. I got a small electric water pump and ran the input hose into the gas tank of a farm truck that was sitting next to two houses and a barn. My plan was to steal a few gallons from the trunk. I ran an extension cord out of the barn for power. I couldn't find a gas can, so I used a plastic squirt bottle to put the gasoline in. The pump worked really well and filled the bottle in a matter of seconds, then spilling gas all over my pants and the ground around me. I stepped on the extension cord and pulled the cord on the pump to stop the flow. As soon as the electricical current was cut, it made a spark which ignited the gas fumes. The force of the explosion blew me back about 10 feet. Fire was shooting out of the gas tank on the truck, the side of the truck was on fire, as well as the ground all around the area. My pants were also on fire. I rolled on the dirt and put myself out, then ran into the barn to unplug the extension cord. I grabbed a horse blanket and, for what seemed like an eternity, beat the flames until they were out. I am so fortunate that I didn't get killed or burn down the truck, barn, and two houses. No one ever found out about that, and I learned a really good lesson. The next morning, on my way to work, I wrecked my car. Talk about KARMA!

As a contractor, I've had to do maintenance on a factory ceiling before and was lifted up to do it with a forklift.

I was honestly pretty impressed with how safe the setup was.
