Title: 1000 Ways to Die (GAME)
Post by: russian roulette on December 30, 2009, 10:20:44 PM
So alot of freak accidents happen each year. My brother (the dj) told me a little cool story that happened while he was in Texas.
He said and I quote "Just recently in Tuscan, Texas, a man suffering from paranoia set his house up with traps thinking a group of outsiders were planning his assassination. The man took sleeping pills with 1 horrible side effect for this situation, sleep walking. He got passed all the traps that lead to the refrigerator and sat on his couch which tripped a shotgun that shot him in the head." I checked headlines and they confirmed it. Fast forward 2 years later the event was re-enacted on Spikes 1000 ways to die. The game is to find and put down REAL freak accidents that you find on actual news feeds across the internet, eventually hitting 1000. So far we have 1 so lets see if you guys can find any. Also post a link for me to confirm.

No, he's talking about a tv show. I've been watching the marathon all day too, RR. :D

I only watched 2 episodes, the only death that was interesting was a guy with an eating disortor and can only eat metal, which ultimately pierced his stomach.

I was watching for 3 hours earlier, i've seen every single episode dozens of times.

The best death i saw was some HOT chick from florida was in a decompression chamber after her airtanks failed while scubadiving. Everything's fine until another person accidentally opens the hatch and the girl completely explodes!

here's one I found on Wikipedia:
a 24-year-old Oakland, California resident was killed while walking on a sidewalk after being struck in the face by an airborne fire hydrant; a passing car blew a tire and swerved onto the sidewalk, striking the fire hydrant. The force of the water pressure released so suddenly it propelled the 200-pound hydrant toward Hernandez with enough force to kill him.

Decompression issues won't certainly make a person to completely explode. Generally, it makes the lungs to burst, with fatal issues, and maybe bleeding, but blowing off a whole body, i doubt it.

Or she just had a massive pressure difference...

Decompression makes people swell up in the extremities, turn red, bleed from the eyes, and hemorrhage to death.

I've heard of a lot of Disney-theme park related deaths.
