And the Darwin Award Goes To…


Hey FAILers! Let us know in the comments who you think deserves the Darwin Award from these 3 epic Safety Fails. Is it the driver that really didn’t want to pay for movers? Or the man just out for a “joy ride” with his mattress? Or is it the gas station attendant that is trying to multi-task by smoking and cleaning the gas pumps at the same time? Make your voice heard FAILers!

  1. Suyalus says:

    the first one !!!
    he cant even SEE wheres he / she is driving XD

    • Wormulon says:

      That’s what makes it so perfect!! You can’t even see death coming!
      Also, it made me think someone was trying to re-create a Dolorean type thing to go back to the future

      • Rain says:

        The second one. Can’t win a Darwin Award if you take other people down with you.

        • BAReFOOt says:

          You are all WRONG! As long as they still live and can reproduce, NOBODY of them will get any Darwin award. But hey, I did not expect people who can’t even spell DeLorean, to know that.
          Truly FAILbloggers, falling for the stupid attempt of the poster, to induce discussion, by asking a either-or question where there in neither an either-or, nor anyone who qualifies at all.

          So now we have 3 fails, packed inside one giant EPIC FAIL, and followed here with a whole list of resulting fails.
          Way to go… You all win this beautiful FAIL award! *hands over the award* ^^

          • NigToe says:

            “NOBODY of them” dumb ass..

          • A Random Pooka says:

            NOBODY of them?

            Proofread your post about people being idiots before you click the little ‘Add Comment’ button.

            It’s just … shameful

          • Cokashmola says:

            Ever think that they weren’t 100% srsface about the Darwin award? Prick?

          • Blarby says:

            I don’t hate on typos- But thats really hard to follow.

          • Oliver mellors says:

            “Dolorean” … “I did not expect people who can’t even spell DeLorean, to know that.”

            Maybe it was a Spanish pun.

          • Wormulon says:

            Dude, lol, get a grip. “DeLorean” is a word coined by car manufacuters, so sorry if I’m not an 80’s car enthusiast which would have enabled me to spell the MADE UP WORD, but at least *I* have my grammar down…

            You really don’t belong on Fail blog comments; we need a picture of you to post!

            • Hertz says:

              Yes, John DeLorean made up his own name so the car he produced has a catchy moniker. Just like Henry Ford, Enzo Ferrari, Ferdinand Porsche and Heribert Volkswagen to name just a few.

            • Donald Zerli, Patriot says:

              “Manufacuters”…a word coined by automobile manufacturers.

          • Taneer says:

            Wow…y

            Do you really have to be an asshole in everything you do? You still get an honorable mention even if you survive, but this is a joke. Mocking a joke is like humiliating a clown.

            • Donald Zerli, Patriot says:

              Clowns have an unassailable innate dignity. They cannot be humiliated. This is why, given the choice between being a maître d’ and a clown, one should always choose to be a clown: for the dignity.

              Both get to wear bow ties, though.

          • Sinistrad says:

            Actually, you fail for flying off the handle over something so trivial, BAReFOOt.

            You can keep your trophy. I don’t want it.

            In my opinion, the photograph depicting a person or persons most LIKELY to receive a Darwin award in the future, would have to be the one of the idiot riding a mattress.

          • coco says:

            cuz you’re cool.

        • I.P.Knightly says:

          Poor show, after a study of the top one, you can see multiple light sources, IE its a fake. this has to be one of the most shite FAILs i’ve seen on here.

    • gerappa says:

      sure he can… he’s driving like Ace Ventura :D

  2. artonelico says:

    #3 Smoking and gasoline = a fun combination.

    • wiLik says:

      Not really. You can actually put a lit cigarette out in gasoline. A cigarette on it’s own WILL NOT ignite it.

      Trying to light one around lots of gasoline vapour…. now that’s a different story xD

      • sullivant says:

        actually, you are thinking of diesel fuel – you can put a smoke/match out in that as it’s naturally too rich (most of the time) to do anything. gasoline has such a high vapor pressure, that it’s almost always got a nice hefty layer of fumes above it to ignite.

        Sorry, the Haz-Mat training in me came out for this one. ;)

        • FAIuvat says:

          Extensive testing at fire research labs has failed in any and all attempts to ignite any grade of gasoline or diesel fuel using a lit cigarette as a source.

          Likewise, cell phones as an ignition system for gasoline fumes has never been proven to occur.

          Static electricity is the biggest danger at the gas pumps. Or, you know, villagers carrying torches. When you go to destroy the mad scientist’s creation in the castle above town, think twice about that shortcut through the Shell station.

        • Bobevil says:

          No, he’s right–regular gasoline doesn’t ignite from an ember. See: Mythbusters.

          • sullivant says:

            see: real life, wherein the reality is that it can, and has. see my 4-gas meter that says “hey don’t approach the lel of gasoline without the risks involved.” ;)

            • Edward says:

              Real life would only be a counter-example if you had anecdotal evidence of such an ignition actually occurring. As it is, you’re actually citing not real life, but your imagination, wherein you believe that would happen. The other posters are right. A lit cigarette does not provide enough energy to start an ignition. Even so, it’s safer to keep any heat sources away from combustible substances, and as such policies and warning signs obviously aren’t going to advocate taking any risks whatsoever. That would be a retardedly foolish liability.

              • Shadrach says:

                Not to mention there is no clear way to tell if the cigarette is even lit, some of us know not to smoke near a pump, or inside most buildings but will often let one ride until we can actually smoke it.
                FYI Smoking around gasoline pumps will most likely not cause ignition, however it will dramatically up your chances of smoking related illness/cancer…
                Ask a chem/bio person why smoking in a Lab is a bad idea.

                • A Random Pooka says:

                  Wow. Go look up the MSDS for gasoline. It’s only flammable in vapor form at certain concentrations and temperatures. So no, liquid gasoline does not explode. No matter how many of you claim to have ‘real life’ experiences with it, the basic chemistry involved proves you wrong.

                  Diesel fuel does not explode and is not typically even flammable in vapor form unless compressed. Which is why diesel engines have an insane compression ratio compared to gasoline engines. They don’t even use spark, just a glow plug which helps fire the engine up on a cold morning. Once the thing is running, it doesn’t require spark to continue to run, it works off of /only/ the compression. The fuel and air mixture gets compressed to a point where it explodes.

                  Sorry for the off the wall tangent, I just hate seeing signs on job sites on the diesel tanks saying “No Smoking. Flammable”

                  • Blarby says:

                    #1- Yes low concentrations of vapor with a high flash point will not be ignited in gasoline by a smoldering ember.

                    However

                    #2 Medium to high concentrations of vapor can be ignited by Spark- which is very easily obtained by dropping a hot ember onto a ferrous material…….. Or, the “fizz” in a cigarette of too high volume of chemicals- which anyone who smokes a normal brand has seen in at least one pack in their lifetime.

  3. VinWij says:

    DW, you fail. I vote for the first one too. That’s just legendary stupidity right there.

  4. Aja says:

    Understanding the concept of Darwin award fail.

    • BAReFOOt says:

      Exactly my first thought too. :)

      • Palanthas says:

        Nah, these are just our qualifiers. We are still waiting on the results of the last events. You have the Driving Blind competition, Holding the mattress down in 60mph winds competition, and the ignite yourself while repairing a gas pump competition.

        Personally I prefer the last one, it is not easy starting a fire like that. As other have said, you can toss a cigarette in a bucket of gas or diesel and it will just put it out…

  5. TheBest says:

    Very funny… I like the one with the picture.

  6. Rain says:

    HAHAHAHA

  7. MattBrox says:

    You win at failing

  8. scaleage says:

    defo the 1st one
    u can use it as a ramp as well and he’ll never be the wiser

  9. turdface says:

    number two. not the shit, the fail.

  10. missdiz says:

    Is he trying to milk the petrol pump?

    He doesn’t seem to have a car…

  11. Chrish says:

    Without a doubt the second one!

  12. ana says:

    the first one definitely The first guy is just so dumb, however in the second if the driver goes slow enough they guy will be alright.

  13. BAReFOOt says:

    FAIL! The rules of the Darwin award are clearly specified! A Darwin award only goes to people who threw themselves out of reproduction in a spectacularly stupid way! So as long as they still live, and can reproduce, NOBODY of them can get the award. Now hang your head in shame for not knowing that, with your stupid little site.

    • A Random Pooka says:

      Again, NOBODY of them?

      It would appear that you did proofread, since you commented with the same phrase twice.

      Still a dumbass

    • Cara says:

      BAReFOOt-

      Everyone knows that you can only win a Darwin award if you die or cannot reproduce. That’s not the point. The obvious intent of this post was to say that all three of these people are doing things that could easily result in their death. Which do you think is the most likely to get a Darwin award by offing themselves via the method shown in the pictures.

      My vote is #3. One way or another that guys cigarettes are going to kill him. He’s just trying to find a more creative way to make it happen.

  14. varenoea says:

    Heath Ledger! Now that was one stupid way to die.

    • BAReFOOt says:

      Yeah, because when your life is so horrible that you can’t stand the pain, and take so many painkillers that it kills *you*, that is “stupid”.
      Sensitivity FAIL! ^^

  15. Did any of them die? If they didn’t, they don’t deserve the Darwin Award.

  16. Ski says:

    Of these three, the mattress man should get a Darwin Award. One false move and he is streaking the pavement. I could not say the first pic because there is too great a chance that driver will kill someone else. The gas man has the least chance of being hurt because he is not even pumping gas.

  17. bo3rn says:

    fail title fail

    maybe the first 1 can see sthg if (s)he drives fast enough and the wind blows the sheets (whatever they r exactly) up :D

  18. TR35 says:

    it´s definitely the gas-man ;)

    • ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork says:

      *someone puts on a cape and has a giant ‘G’ on their shirt and they yell out “I am Gas-man!”

  19. Freek says:

    First one.

    Third one actually is not as dangerous as it looks; gasoline does not ignite from a cigarette (there was a MythBusters episode on this one). Of course the guy may still die from cancer…

  20. ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork says:

    Its the best way to live on the edge.

  21. ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork says:

    Good morning.
    *squeeze*

  22. ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork says:

    Head out on the highway
    Looking for adventure
    In whatever comes our way…

  23. Boobhead says:

    How about the one that dies? Isn’t that kind of the point of the Darwin awards?

    Don’t steal the Darwin Awards name set up you own Fail Blog awards!

  24. BUDA20 says:

    the second one is the most Darwinian fail.

  25. Taneer says:

    I’d have to award victory to Joyriding Matress Man.

  26. Uha says:

    My FAIL award winner is No. 1

  27. Bart says:

    Second one- Joy-ride on mattres

  28. Chicken Man says:

    No. 2 Mattress Man. I think there was a woman arrested recently for having her 13 year old daughter ride on top of a box to hold it on her mini van roof.

  29. Joe says:

    The 2nd because the other stupids put others into heavy risk

  30. AC says:

    driver that really didn’t want to pay for movers

  31. Paulo says:

    Definitely the first one.

  32. E-TARD says:

    The dude at the gass pump
    WoW thats 100% Fail!!!!

  33. Randy says:

    Have any of them died (or otherwise removed themselves from the gene pool)? If not, then they don’t deserve a Darwin Award.

  34. mata says:

    The first picture is from Romania … not surprisingly :)

  35. Arthur Eld says:

    I shudder at the thought that this is what FB will look like when no regulars are left. Is that what all the trolls and “you’re not talking about the fail”-whiners really want?

  36. peterknife says:

    uh…

  37. Josh Murphy says:

    #3

  38. Peter says:

    Fukc the USA! Stupid & Fat People

  39. TheGame says:

    The first one, hands down.

  40. Travis___ says:

    I’d say the first one. It took a little while to do that, so that guy had plenty of time to reconsider the wisdom of his actions.

  41. Stunbunny says:

    Gotta go with Smokey Mc’Splosion here. Really? You NEVER learned about gas fumes and fire? You will. You will.

    • A Random Pooka says:

      Not flaming here (pun intended) but how are you going to get fumes from a pump that isn’t actually dispensing gas? They’re kind of designed to not leak like that

  42. CarmenT says:

    My vote goes to the mattress surfer. Dr. G (medical examiner show) did a whole show on the various acts of stupidity men specifically have engaged in and died doing. A guy holding a mattress down on top of a car was one of them.

  43. Fifty-Two-Eighty says:

    You people who picked #3 all FAIL. There’s nothing dangerous about smoking at a gas pump. Just don’t light the cigarette there – that will start a fire.

  44. sid1138 says:

    Assuming all three are successful in their attempt to remove themselves from the gene pool, I would personally vote for the second one. While seeing a person running around like a human torch has its comedic value, its been done before – and often. Driving blind is also interesting, but again – seen that too. (Heck, I once saw a guy driving down the road on a Moped and he had a guide cane in his hand.)

    Now, seeing the expression on the idiot’s face while flying through the air trying to hang onto the mattress, only to realize he will land face down (literally) – now that is priceless. And he gains points for oriiginality.

  45. Lord De Vis says:

    first one!

  46. mami says:

    yep, the first one’s romanian.
    so sad.
    i (heart) my country.

  47. what in the world they think :D

  48. Andrew Ong says:

    I would describe each of the three fails with three words: carnage, carnage and carnage!
    I personally vote the 3rd fail (Man smoking close to petrol pumps)

    • Andrew Ong says:

      By the way, what is the Darwin Award anyway? Is it for Evolution or for Indigenous Australia? *plays digeridoo and taps boomerang*

      • cheesebrrgrr says:

        The Darwin Awards are for people who are so stupid they either kill themselves or disable their ability to reproduce, therefore eliminated from the gene pool.

  49. shari says:

    The first one.

    ~~didn’t want to pay for movers

  50. BouncyPaw says:

    Mattress man FTW. :)

  51. kcire12 says:

    Ummm assuming they all died cuz you kinda have to die or not be in the gene pool to get a Darwin award i vote for the second guy.

    • A Random Pooka says:

      You could get testicular cancer and have to have them removed, or need a hysterectomy and no longer be able to pass your genetic material on. So you kind of don’t have to die to be unable to reproduce.

      Unless you figure out how to reproduce by budding. That would be cool.

  52. Someone says:

    The first car is more aerodynamic than usual and the driver cannot see a thing. Is he testing what impact a crash on full speed has?

    • DarwinsMother says:

      No. He’s actually assuming that if he runs into something, it will simply scoop up and over the car…

      or maybe he’s trying to improve his gas mileage.

      or maybe he’s a crash test dummy who takes his work home with him.

  53. Grunk says:

    While I agree that “NOBODY of them” are technically eligible yet, I have to vote for #3. He is SMOKING which is the only activity pictured that is guaranteed to kill him! ;-)

  54. Marktavian says:

    This might actually be a pre-Darwin Award. :-)

    http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/. The rule is: “The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove themselves from it…”

    Any of these three pics would qualify as Honorable Mentions.

    But I like the idea anyway. You might call it a Fail To Thrive Award.

    BTW, people in the Houston, Texas metro area frequently put someone in the back of their trucks to hold the contents in place, even on the freeways. Then there are the folks who go beyond the pale and simply pack the back of the truck with people and nothing else. Maybe they should put a mattress on top of themselves to keep THEM in. :-D

    I vote for Mattress Mack, who values the mattress more than himself.

  55. Seth says:

    None of these deserve Darwin awards, a Darwin award is when someone dies in an extremely stupid way or removes themselves from the gene pool. (I.E.: Unable to reproduce)

    • DarwinsMother says:

      Good point.

      And, as a pacifist, it would not be my place to say whether these folks SHOULD die…

      but I might cast bets as to whether our not their idiotic actions could CAUSE their demise.

  56. Oly says:

    The guy at the pump is perfectly safe… its not like the gas pumps are emitting fumes with nothing happening… besides gas these days is more likely to put out a lit cigarette than start a fire.

  57. Marktavian says:

    The first car guy needs a second guy to ride on top and holler directions at him. :-D

    Smoker Dude ain’t bright but he’s relatively safe. Even if there are fumes coming out of the dispenser, all that will happen is a brief flare-up that might scorch his hands or face (if fumes are coming out, the pressure inside the hose is greater than the pressure outside the hose, so the flame will stay outside of the hose). If he drops the cig in a pool of spilled gas, same thing. Brief flare-up and the pool will burn out fast. Only if someone comes along and uses that hose to pour gas into a container is Smoker Dude in real danger. IOW, he might get burned and hurt but the place isn’t going to blow up because of his cigarette. The warning signs on the gas pumps are for possible personal injury, not imminent death.

  58. Marktavian says:

    This deal with the fumes was proven to me by a technician from the natural gas company; different substance but the same concept. He came out to fix my water heater, which was accessed from the outside of my house. In the process, he used a butane torch to solder something on the heater. Since he didn’t turn off the gas first, I freaked. He laughed, then disconnected the tube that feeds gas to the water heater’s burner, still without turning off the gas. Then he pointed the flame from his butane torch at the gas tube. Voila, Bunsen burner. Nothing happened except for the little steady flame at the end of the tube. He explained the business about pressure inside being greater than the pressure outside.

  59. spork says:

    The first one.

    Second one isn’t safe, but not nearly so dangerous.

    The third one really isn’t that dangerous at all.

  60. Bobby says:

    definatly #1.

  61. ~ alli ~ says:

    The first one.

  62. Cloral says:

    Did they die?

  63. DarwinsMother says:

    #1. will suffer only embarrassment, as others will steer clear.
    #3. is only doing what I’ve seen too many others do… so his kind must still be breeding.

    But —
    #2. He will die a painful death and suffer terrible embarrassment doing it, for he is spread eagle for all the world to see, to mock, and to fear.

    Please tell me that he has borne no children?

  64. Pixie says:

    I was going to say number 3, but then I realized there’s a bigger chance of getting killed while being blind and driving than smoking around gasoline.
    So, #1 FTW. Er… FTFail, rather.

  65. MoFo says:

    Hello … The source of the picture is my website. You can find the original photo with the watermark here http://traficul.org/?p=5035

    Please mention the correct source.

    Thank you

    • ZaphodQB says:

      Just because you took a photo from the web and put your watermark on it does not make you the source of the photo. FAIL!

  66. gigi duru says:

    First one, Romania ftw.

  67. Mars says:

    The 3rd picture looks like the man is very stupid and what he’s doing is very dangerous but in fact its not. Its an urban myth that gasoline can get fire from a cigar. Gasoline needs at least 456ºC to take fire, while a cigar in the top of its possible heath doesn’t overpass the 150ºC (try it home: introduce a burning cigar into a cup of gasoline: nothing will happen). But don’t trust me, ask your neighbor fireman, he will tell you its completely harmless.

  68. gigi duru says:

    Although I like the artistical impression of the second one as well :)

  69. Jumpin Jack Flash says:

    #2! the fact that they’re on a multi-lane road just makes it 10 times more stupid!

  70. risu says:

    First has my vote. The people in the others can escape fate by seeing it coming, not the first.

  71. sauerkraut says:

    ciggie go FOOOM!!!!

  72. MiwAuturu says:

    Did any of them actually die? If not then there is no Darwin Aard winner cuz none of them removed themselves from the gene pool. Mind you they could get honorary mention at best. That said, #2

  73. damian says:

    the man just out for a “joy ride” with his mattress

    the man just out for a “joy ride” with his mattress

    the man just out for a “joy ride” with his mattress

    the man just out for a “joy ride” with his mattress

    the man just out for a “joy ride” with his mattress!!!!!!!!!!

  74. Dale says:

    Haven’t we all seen Myth Busters? A burning cigarette is nowhere near hot enough to light gasoline.

  75. poiboy says:

    my vote is for number 2.. is so dynamically failed! and maybe funny to watch.

  76. halfmadgenius says:

    I vote for number one. Who the hell drives when they can’t see where they are going? Hope he ate it in a curve rather than on coming traffic.

  77. Skittlez says:

    LOOOL
    the first one! it’s from Romania :) ) i can see there that it’s written “Acces Clienti” which is in romanian

    so my vote is for the first one

  78. Zekiran says:

    omg they’re all pretty filled with fail!

    The first one endangers way more than just themselves.

    The second one makes me terrified, I mean… Standing out … oi.

    The third one … durrrrrrrhello. Yeah.

    All three. Of them if I had to choose, I’d hope that the smoker hasn’t bred.

  79. Nickface says:

    The second one for sure!!!

  80. ebnielsen says:

    I vote for #3 the other two can claim ignorance, but I am sure the gas station attendant was told not to smoke around the gas pumps and every gas staion I have been to has no smoking signs plastered all over the place.

  81. Pain to The Brain says:

    The first pic is from Romania – Land of The Idiots.

  82. Delete says:

    What disappoints me the most is the fact that the first safety FAIL is done by someone from my country. Go suicide! Go stupidity! Go self-extermination!

  83. Michelle says:

    First one, hands down

  84. nick says:

    in the last pic the dude is smoking

  85. Fatika79 says:

    Definitely the third one! He works there, and was surely told how to act professionally. And, he is the one who could do the most damage.

  86. humor me says:

    I’m going to say 2. Darwin Awards say that you can’t hurt anyone else when you kill yourself with your stupidity. #1 looks like they might take out another car in the process. #2 might take out another windshield should they land on the hood, but even if they should land in oncoming traffic and cause a wreck, most likely they won’t kill someone, they would just injure them. Depending on the speed at which they are travelling, its entirely possible to be killed if they fall off the bed, especially with a severe head injury. Even if it didn’t kill him, it would probably render him comatose, again removing him from the gene pool unless he has a *really* dedicated wife with a lot of money (I’m guessing not) willing to invest in IA.

  87. Dr. Pizza says:

    Definitely the first one

  88. spearer898 says:

    i think that the 3rd should win it, if he goes up, the gas station and the customers go up with him

    Fail #3… then probably #2…

  90. Bordann says:

    Looks to me like #1 has the sheets of [insert substance] over far enough to the passenger side that he/she could lean his/her head out the window to see. Dumb idea, but it could work.

    #2 is just an idiot ad probably gonna catch a large rash. …from the road.

    #3 is only in danger of cancer and ridicule. Cigarettes that are pre-lit won’t ignite gas, despite what movies might show you.

    Lastly, any Darwin Awards fan will know the people must already be dead, unless it’s an honorable mention.

  91. Fallon says:

    the man just out for a “joy ride” with his mattress!! Hilarius!! And Insane!

  92. skyshade13 says:

    I say first one too. How the heck can that driver see?

  93. silver_strike says:

    #1 Picture : With the price of gas sometimes you gotta be a lill creative!

  94. Cortez says:

    Its a toss up between 1 & 3. Being the fact that we can see number 3 in action — my friend, the Smoking/Cleaning gas attendent get my vote.

  96. Anon says:

    :O The last one is also smoking! Guess what’s next. :P

  97. Dodobirdlord says:

    Um, just so everybody knows, you can’t get a darwin award unless you actually die in the process, just being stupid warrants an honorable mention.

  98. Sarah G says:

    I’d go with #2…. I’m sure I heard about this guy (or someone similar) on Dr. G.

  99. ambie18 says:

    Um…you have to die to be eligible for a Darwin Award.

    These guys (or gals) are only guilty of being complete and utter idiots.

  100. goodnight2u2 says:

    The guy in the first pic was simply trying to decrease the drag coefficient on his vehicle so that he could obtain better gas mileage. Sometimes you just have to sacrifice things like vision to help the environment! :p

  101. Mufa says:

    the first pic is made in Romania :) ) we are just capable of anything, this shows that some romanians are dumber than blondes :) )

  102. TheHeadlessPony says:

    Well..Romania’s got a WIN in the 1st pic. And no,people here are not THAT retarded.

  103. Robert says:

    Definately the first one lol!! wth

  104. Herb says:

    The 3rd one, guy smoking and cleaning the gas pump.

  105. Joe says:

    I vote for the guy on the mattress cuz i dont think anything would happen to the guy smoking becuase they showed on mythbusters a cig wudnt start a gas fire, and the car i dont even know, all i can see in my head for the mattress guy though is him falling off and getting owned by the ground and run over.

  106. tomas says:

    first one!! lol really unsafe driving.

  107. dopaz says:

    #2 as #3 is not in any danger (check your science) and #1 actually has some sort of control. #2 can fall off at any second at any speed and be left for dead before anyone notices.

  108. Quaggy says:

    The guy with the mattress wins for epic safety fail, in my opinion. As has been stated, the first and thrid pictures are no where near as dangerous. In the first, unless he’s driving into a hurricane, the wind is not likely to be strong enough to cause a problem. In the thrid picture, well, the Mythbusters have proven that blowing up gasolene takes more than just a hot ember from a cigarette (unless you are epicly unlucky), so the chances of him starting a fire are very slim. The second person… riding unrestrained on top of two mattresses in traffic… is so unsafe that unless he’s an adrenaline junkie I can’t see any sane Human Being agreeing to do it (reguardless of the truck’s speed). Those are my two cents.

  109. Shevaresh says:

    #3 doesn’t count based on the information provided.

    Is that a cigarette, or a white pocket-sized flashlight? I don’t see any smoke anywhere.

  110. 2Foxxie4U says:

    The first guy – most def. XDDD

  111. Mamma says:

    Did any of these people actually remove themselves from the genepool? I mean, that actually IS a requirement to get the Darwin Award.

    “The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of
    the human genome by honoring those who
    accidentally remove themselves from it…”

    Though, if they did…My money is on the driver who can’t see.
    That’s just sad isn’t it? OMG

  112. Nate says:

    Definitely the mattress guy. The first guy has stopped – maybe he’ll fix it. The third guy probably won’t die. The second guy is just waiting for a gust of wind. Of course these are all guys…

  113. josecuervo86 says:

    Definitely the number 3!!

  114. Shade says:

    First one is from romania :D

  115. Jess says:

    As many of your devoted viewers have already pointed out, O FailBlog, The Darwin award is generally only bestowed, or even nominated, to those persons whom have successfully eliminated themselves from the breeding population (ie: death, or injury resulting in sterilization).

    So really, until proof of this stipulation has been presented, none of these very fine examples of humanity deserve to even be considered for the award.

    Fail poll.

  116. Jimmylou says:

    The first one is just a frost-savety not that hazardous… last one has worse quali…
    Would say that kid on the pickup^^

  117. Safety signs says:

    haha, I don’t even have anything to add except I have enjoyed reading everyone’s comments!

  118. rayna_sabine says:

    My votes on the second one. That is epic stupid with a high chance of fail

  119. theea says:

    The firsta one is in Romania, that explains ALL ! :) )

  120. theea says:

    The first one is in Romania, that explains ALL ! :) )

  121. Lett says:

    Haha, i laughed so hard :D

  122. cox521 says:

    the second one: “damn… they must have used the rope when they lynched this gangsta’s homie, guess they’ll have to use him to hold down the mattress”

  123. Todd says:

    that guy smoking is a fail in itself because cigarettes will not light gasoline

  124. Skadi the flawless says:

    The first one is from Romania xD

  125. Amanda says:

    The first one. Unable to see. Probably doesn’t care.
