(1999, England) Wayne wanted to make a few bucks by selling stolen scr*p metal. He sneaked into a demolition site and surveyed the area for valuable hunks of debris. His eyes fastened upon what appeared to be a 3 thick copper pipe. That would fetch a fine fee! But it was too heavy for him to budge it. He hauled a few lesser chunks of metal away, and returned with sturdy bolt cutters. It was then, when he attempted to sever the pipe, that he was shocked to discover that it was actually an aluminum cable carrying 11,000 volts of power. The paramedics who later tried to revive the electrified Wayne were thwarted by the current. He did not survive to be charged with his offences. |

I remember one about a couple of drunk Russians trying to prove who was the toughest guy. The winner cut off his own head with a chainsaw.

(9 October 2008, South Africa) For days, Johannesburg office workers watched a demolition worker slowly chip away at a pillar supporting the concrete slab above him. One said, I wondered how they would drop that section. The walls were gone, and only the supporting pillars remained.

Dozens of observers watched the slow and senseless demolition proceed. Finally the only possible outcome concluded this epic battle. The besieged support collapsed, crushing man and machine beneath a pile of rubble. Ishmael M., 52, was killed instantly inside the cab of his mini-excavator.

Observers said they had been concerned about the workers' safety for several days. I cannot believe they did not foresee this, said a shocked witness who did not forsee this. There was no common sense!

(30 October 2008, Oklahoma) Peter G., 32, was an accomplished big cat keeper. With his huge heart and gift of connecting with animals, this former Tulsa Zoo keeper was the perfect volunteer at Safari's Animal Sanctuary in Broken Arrow. Perfect until the liger incident may ask, as we asked, What's a liger? Ligers are unusual animals, a sterile cross between a male lion and a female tiger, and (like mules) not a species in their own right. Although a liger is a evolutionary dead end, this powerful hybrid is the largest of cats. Rocky, the liger that lived in Broken Arrow, was known as a big baby--but he was not a domestic animal. The wildlife sanctuary manager said, In all my years we've stressed that whatever you do, don't open that gate. Peter opened that gate. For reasons unknown, he violated the rules and entered the liger cage during feeding time, only to become an appetizer for the hungry carnivore. Although he dragged himself out of the cage before becoming the main course, he died in the hospital that very night. Peter was loved, and he will be missed, but he well aware of the dangers posed by captive wild animals. By not following very obvious safety rules, Peter was behaving with all the care and caution typical of a Darwin Award winner. Burp. |

I read of a guy in the first world war trenches who drowned in his own diarrhoea.
