Couple Killed During Intercourse On Via Durta Freeway:
A young couple was driving on the Via Dutra, the longest freeway in Brazil. Via Dutra has consistent traffic and is known for destructive accidents. The couple decided that it was time for a quickie, so they they parked the car in the right hand lane, not the “safe” median or shoulder but the right hand lane carrying traffic. To make matters even more in their disfavor it was a very foggy morning, greatly limiting the visibility and raising the stupidity of the risk. After about 30 seconds or so a Cargo truck lost traction and killed the couple instantly.
Angry Man In Wheel Chair Falls Causes His Own Death:
On August 25, 2010 in Daejon, South Korea, a handicapped man in a wheel chair became increasingly frustrated when an elevator closed and left without waiting for him. A woman had previously entered the elevator and pressed the door close button before seeing the handicapped man. Due to his irritation the man rammed the elevator doors three times, forcing them to open. Unfortunately the 40 year old man had squeezed through the doors on the third
push and plunged down an empty elevator shaft to his death.
Two Climbers Fall But Only One Survives:
During the winter months the higher mountains become snow covered and filled with hunters in search of game. Two courageous climbers ventured a little higher than normal so the terrain was new to the two. The trail led to a glacial pass that was quite steep, in order to cross the slope they needed to make a foot hold one at a time. The first climber got about half way and while making a foot hold, he hit a rock and slipped down the ice and off the mountain side. The second hunter called down to his friend and the first hunter confirmed that he was ok. Thinking that it was a safe route, the second hunter jumped and slid down the icy slope, clear off the cliff to a hundred foot fall and died. Unfortunately the first hunter had grabbed the only shrubbery on the cliff-side and mistakenly lead his friend to believe he was out of harms way.
Stupidity Calls For A Bomb Ride:
In a little town called Sedro-Woolley is Kagit Raceway. Come race day this small town fills with race fans. During the American Sprint Car Series two bored crew members, both of whom had high levels of college education
and a lot of mechanical/engineering expertise, thought up an interesting ride that would call into question their method of thinking. They designed a barrel with a small nosel for a plug, filled it with four gallons of methanol
(extremely flammable) and hopped on top. Now their thinking was that when they light the plug hole the methanol would ignite and create immense pressure pushing them across the parking lost at a high rate of speed. That didn’t happen as you can imagine, it turns out the barrel exploded sending pieces as far as 120 feet. It didn’t end well for two men who were aboard the explosion, one died from the blast and his injuries while the other was hospitalized with severe burns.
House Hold Tool End Up Active Artillery Shell:
In Romania a son and his father were trying to fix a soil tamper that happened to be in the family for over 40 years. As it turns out the family had been stomping a cannon shell against the ground for the last 40 years and so far nothing had happened, until it broke and they tried to fix it. The device had a rusted handle that had broke and they attempted to fix it by welding the handle back to the metal shell. The first time the soil tamper was made the welder welded the handle in the just the right spot so the tool was harmless and the shell was never ignited, but when the father welded the tool back he did the opposite and ignited the primer causing the shell to fire which killed him instantly.
