And girls too: the infamous Darwin Award nominees (9 photos)

You also need to be able to die absurdly. And although the nominees for the stupidest death and “cutting off dead-end genotypes” were mainly representatives of the stronger half, there are also ladies who are amazing in their stupidity and tenacity.





So, in recent years, the following women have been nominated for the Darwin Award:

I'll bridle you



The horse stubbornly refused to let its owner, 29-year-old Andrea, ride on its back. And then the woman came up with a plan that, in her opinion, was brilliant: she tied a rope around the animal’s muzzle, and secured the other end to her belt. The horse did not like this situation, and the rider ended up under the hooves because the rope was too short.

Together with Andrea's father, two dogs rushed to her aid. The horse got scared and almost went crazy. While the dogs were caught, while the horse was calmed down by a neighbor who came running... Time was lost, and the girl died without regaining consciousness on the way to the hospital.

Don't piss off the elephant and don't sniff the glue





In 2001, two were nominated at once. One is a tourist for whom it was vitally important to take a photo of an elephant dissatisfied with the abundance of annoying people. Although photographs of animals in Tanzania National Park can only be taken from a specially equipped bus, this was not enough for the woman. And she left. The result was sad and predictable.



The young lady tried to learn in practice all the delights of substance abuse. But for the first time I chose not glue or, for example, nail polish, but a potent insect killer. For some reason, the inscription “Poison” on the can did not stop the teenager, who clearly knew how to read. The result is also obvious: nomination for a Darwin Award.

love love



Two years later, a couple of already adults (Kim - 32 years old and Paul - 40 years old) decided to diversify the date with extreme sex. The couple got rid of their clothes and indulged in passion right on the roadway under a street lamp. The first bus driver noticed the idiots and drove around. Then a random passer-by gave practical advice to dump them in the bushes, which they did not take advantage of. The second bus driver did not notice the lovers of extreme love. Two dead-end genotypes were taken out of brackets at once.

And again romance



This time without physiology. And knowledge of physiology. The young lovers decided to spend a romantic evening that would be remembered for a long time. Somehow they got a huge hot air balloon from an amusement park and climbed into it. The structure was filled with helium, which displaces oxygen without causing discomfort. It is strange that the young man and girl, who were excellent students, did not know such well-known things. And they won’t know anymore.

boring road



A 20-year-old US woman and her boyfriend were driving along a country road. Then she got tired of steering, and she invited the guy to change places. But she didn’t stop on the side of the road, but leaned her foot on the steering wheel to move into the passenger seat. That’s why she was found like that – with her leg stuck in the steering wheel. The guy managed to survive.

Love for beauty



In the pursuit of both excellence and economy, the winner of 2011 was another US resident, Janet Hardt. The woman wanted plump lips, but did not want to pay a plastic surgeon. So I melted the fat in a frying pan and added it to the red border. She then died as a result of a bacterial infection.

Homegrown poisoner



In 2013, a Brazilian was nominated for the award. For some reason, the woman stopped liking her own husband, and she set out to get rid of him. The suspicious man refused to eat food seasoned with poison. And then the home-grown Mrs. Tofana smeared her own genitals with poison and asked her husband for oral sex. He refused, sensing a strange smell from the woman’s vulva. And he did the right thing: she soon lost consciousness, as the poison penetrated through the mucous membrane into the body. The stupid creature was saved by her own failed sacrifice: the man managed to deliver the poisoner to the hospital, where she received the necessary help.

Have you ever encountered such unprecedented examples of human stupidity?
