Death is a tragedy. A tragedy, laughing at which is considered sacrilegious in a civilized society. However, a person even manages to turn his own death into a real absurdity.

Having studied the most ridiculous deaths in the world, you will once again see how boundless human stupidity is, and what a terrifying ending it can lead to.

The driver did not notice this and started off, now finally finishing off the "victim".

All deaths are, of course, stupid, but most of them do not deserve a "Darwin prize".
