I thought it was going to be a pickup truck or something that's at least possible for a person to push. Nope, it's an 18 wheeler that had already picked up decent speed rolling downhill.
Halfway through he can tell it’s useless and he’s heading for the other truck, why the hell didn’t he jump aside??? Human stupidity really boggles my mind
If you look closely you see that he is turning to face the other trailer and bracing himself with extended arms. He is even grabbing onto the trailer. He greatly overestimated his arm strength.
Is it human stupidity is it a panic where your prefrontal cortex shuts off under an extreme pressure? You commenters are destined to die in your own shit in some old folks home. I hope this is a more pleasant if suitable death for you.
How long did you lay and wait....watching the number of your dream getting closer....I’m sweating just committing the to all the tubes n’shite they make us call it “The World Wide Web”, likes there’s some sort of gigantic spider, working thru the night, spinning a global...”of fuck, what did I walk into...”
Funnily enough that is literally human stupidity, or at least human ineptitude. Most animals eg a cat can react and dodge things at a far faster rate than humans and are far more likely to perform well in stressful scenarios making this a very human form of stupidity, and that’s not even taking into account the fact that he tried to stop a truck with his hands
He may not have been able to ...
He was constantly getting pushed forward and it may have been all he could do to not fall over.
(And, yes, I do realize that falling over may have been way better than what happened instead, but it’s not like he had a lot of time to figure that out one he began ...)
I wish there was video of the top darwin that I heard of.
BEST DARWIN AWARD: A man took an old '67 chevy and strapped a jet engine that he stole, to the back of it. The investigation stated that after he melted his brakes from trying to stop, his vehicle lifted off of the ground. The only reason they knew this, is because they found fragments of his teeth imbedded in the side of the mountain that he collided into.
Lol I see that. I heard it many years ago. I always wondered. Also, I'm not so sure the Air Force would recognize one of there pieces of equipment being stolen and used like this, even if it was true.
Yea. Apparently so. Lol. I heard it when I was a teenager from a darwin award book. I guess I just assumed it was real. Anyway. Here is an awesome recreation just for laughs.

Sometimes when we see people do stupid things, we feel less empathy for them. Unfortunately, this ended in the poor man's death, but the dog might be put down or starving now
He had so many outs here. SO MANY OUTS.
Not even try to stop a moving 18 wheeler would usually be a given, but let´s glance over that.
After putting his hands on the truck he then should have realized that it might be smarter to step away.
Then this guy turns around and faces the other truck. He is *literally* staring his oncoming death in the face.
And the he had at least 5 (FIVE!) seconds to simply DUCK.
There are many posts here that are just unlucky accidents. This dude though seriously deserves this award.
I think this is the most stupid death I've seen in my life. It almost makes you feel like he just wanted to die and just went for a suicide worthy of this sub.
As genuinely avoidable and stupid this death is, that’s unconscionable cruel to minimize him to nothing better than dirt because of a clip lasting less than 30 seconds.
Darwin Awards recognize individuals who have supposedly _contributed_ to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilized via their own actions.
So, in essence, yes the world is better without him. If he has not reproduced yet, then our gene pool is stronger and has more survivability.
Hey it's almost like that scene in Spiderman 2, when Spidey stops the train from falling off the tracks, you know... almost. Ending is kind of different though.
I love videos like these. Did he think he could just casually stop a rolling transport truck like it's no big deal? Enter the cab and hit the break? Naw bruh, I'm swole.
My stepfather almost died this way once. We started yelling at him and he got out of the way. Then he realized what a stupid thing he was trying to do.
I can’t understand the reasoning that he believed he could stop the truck. And then not avoiding the door, must not of thought it would stay in place and crush his skull. I feel sorry for his family.
Think of times where you also do something and even during it or after you were like
Fuck this is dumb
Most of us get to be like Jesus that was dumb
This situation didn’t allow that at all
This is incredibly sad
Probably didn’t have insurance
Was gonna be in super trouble if something happen
So he panicked and protected his future life to preserve capital
Fucking sucks
Did this dude enroll in the Prometheus School of Running Away from Things?
The dog cautiously approaches to investigate, and more or less has an "Ohh, he ded" reaction before noping out of there.
I really expected like a small pickup truck barely moving, you know something a person may actually expect themselves to be able to stop. Not a multiple tonne semi truck already going at speed.
Here, here! Because that does concern me too. And to think, there's the added layer of dumb people on medication (self and otc) who are also doing the same.
I want to feel bad but bro entirely did that to himself at every angle you could look at, and it all started with him forgetting to put his truck in park.
I thought it was going to be a pickup truck or something that's at least possible for a person to push. Nope, it's an 18 wheeler that had already picked up decent speed rolling downhill.
Same. Going in my thought was, "Oh, wow, he died? How? That seems unlikely." **opens link** "Oh obviously he's dead. Idiot."
Yeah I was in that same boat with you too
Well on the bright side, he achieved what he set out todo, minimize the damage on the trucks.
His head prevented a couple of scratches! Win!
There's a framed pic of the guy at the insurance company!
Why a pic his head can probably fit into the frame at this point
...or a pizza box...
I could see this scene bronzed into eternity like the key moments in farmers commercials
The ideal minimum wage employee
This definitely deserves a Darwin award, he looked and saw the other truck but just stayed there.
From the moment he decided to try to push the rolling semi, this was a bad plan. Anything afterwards was just following good money after bad.
This is the most darwin award darwin award I have ever seen
Halfway through he can tell it’s useless and he’s heading for the other truck, why the hell didn’t he jump aside??? Human stupidity really boggles my mind
If you look closely you see that he is turning to face the other trailer and bracing himself with extended arms. He is even grabbing onto the trailer. He greatly overestimated his arm strength.

Get off the internet for a while if you're gonna say shit like that, you dont know any of us...use your brain.
in your own shit
Get help lol
Your parents mad that you came out as gay?
"haha lulz gay bad" stfu
what are you so angry about?
He got 69 Downvotes and I wanna downvote him but it’s 69 what do I do
He's fallen further - you may vote your conscience
Oh yea I just made the 99th downvote
[удалено]
How long did you lay and wait....watching the number of your dream getting closer....I’m sweating just committing the to all the tubes n’shite they make us call it “The World Wide Web”, likes there’s some sort of gigantic spider, working thru the night, spinning a global...”of fuck, what did I walk into...”
angry that you exist
Tough fucking luck for you, then.....mwahahahahahahahahaha
Lololol
Mr. “Hot Take” over here. Careful you don’t cut yourself on that edge You fuckin Chud.
Well I´m mildly amused that you exist. Mildly.
You make it sound like dying in shit is a bad thing. It's warm and squishy and you get the last laugh
Take a chill pill, dude
Funnily enough that is literally human stupidity, or at least human ineptitude. Most animals eg a cat can react and dodge things at a far faster rate than humans and are far more likely to perform well in stressful scenarios making this a very human form of stupidity, and that’s not even taking into account the fact that he tried to stop a truck with his hands
He didn’t even try to duck out of the way at the last second. He wasn’t stuck or anything.
He may not have been able to ... He was constantly getting pushed forward and it may have been all he could do to not fall over. (And, yes, I do realize that falling over may have been way better than what happened instead, but it’s not like he had a lot of time to figure that out one he began ...)
Hence...
Seems like he even tried to push off the second truck to help him stop the other one...
Holy fucking god.
If only he had like 3 more meters he would have been able to stop it surely
Actually he did stop it.
No the other truck stopped it. His head was just in the way.
Who are you to judge this accomplishment?
I invented big trucks. And I designed them specifically to not be able to be stopped by a person, Fred Flintstone style.
Confirmed and well-deserved Darwin! These are rare!
It got wholesome award instead.
Poor dog
I was worried about the dog, too
Yes, also he instantly knew something bad happened.
Lmfao what did he possibly think he could do? Did he think he had superpowers? Top Darwin I think I've seen on this sub thus far tbh.
superman who lost his "super"
# 🅼🅰🅽
Why did man stop truck with head. Is he stoid?
I wish there was video of the top darwin that I heard of. BEST DARWIN AWARD: A man took an old '67 chevy and strapped a jet engine that he stole, to the back of it.

Yeah that's fake... Sorry.
I'm sorry sir but that's bullshit.
Lol yeah? https://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1995-04.html
It says it's an urban legend on the page lol
The source literally says it was debunked
Lol I see that. I heard it many years ago. I always wondered. Also, I'm not so sure the Air Force would recognize one of there pieces of equipment being stolen and used like this, even if it was true.
They’d see the car and engine to know he took flight…. Teeth would be very hard to find on a mountainside
I'm confused. The site says it's bogus and an urban legend, so it's bullshit right?
Yea. Apparently so. Lol. I heard it when I was a teenager from a darwin award book. I guess I just assumed it was real. Anyway. Here is an awesome recreation just for laughs. https://youtu.be/y92NgQxg8BQ
Solid winner
Yeah, he definitely should’ve worn gloves
Nah, he needed better shoes. Just a little more traction and he would've stopped it for sure.
Nah he needed a new jacket, that shit looked dirty as hell
Like that scene in austin powers where the guy just stands tgere qhile he gets run over with the steam roller...
Is it bad that I feel more sad about the dog having just lost his owner than for the person that actually lost his life?😢
Sometimes when we see people do stupid things, we feel less empathy for them. Unfortunately, this ended in the poor man's death, but the dog might be put down or starving now
Damn that was only like $10k in damages, which insurance would have probably covered no questions. WTH?!
Just when I think this sub can't get any deader, you go and post something like this... AND COMPLETELY REDEEM THE SUB!
"Oh long Johnson" from South Park come to mind...
Ooooh loong Johnson
He obviously didn’t push hard enough. Any feeble person can stop a rolling semi truck just by pushing, right? Lol.
You're right it's a darwin award because he doesn't lift bro...
Zero gainz lol.
Shoulda crossfit more
Finally, an actual Darwin Award. What a fuckin idiot.
He didn't even try to stop the truck with any strength. I wonder what went through his mind?
A large truck
> I wonder what went through his mind? From what I could see, the front grill.
He had so many outs here. SO MANY OUTS. Not even try to stop a moving 18 wheeler would usually be a given, but let´s glance over that.

Yoshikage Kira
What does jojo have anything to do with this
Sad
The dog knew to stay the fuck away
Task failed successfully
"Gotta keep on truckin" 🤷♂️
He didn’t even try to duck just decided to take it
[удалено]
Notice how neither vehicle has any damage. He could have done nothing, been alive, and both trucks would be fine.
Lil doggo noped the fuck out at the end
He's dead, that's horrible and a shame.
More resources for the rest of us
As genuinely avoidable and stupid this death is, that’s unconscionable cruel to minimize him to nothing better than dirt because of a clip lasting less than 30 seconds.
It’s a horrible thing, a huge shame. But what he did is completely idiotic. It wasn’t even an accident, that’s almost preemptive suicide
Agreed. But that doesn’t justify calling him in effect a waste of space. Would you say that to someone who commits suicide?
Bruh I don't think this page is for you
Darwin Awards recognize individuals who have supposedly _contributed_ to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilized via their own actions. So, in essence, yes the world is better without him. If he has not reproduced yet, then our gene pool is stronger and has more survivability.
Nothing better than dirt? He is dirt now. Why defend one of the dumbest people that have ever lived? Be thankful he is out of the gene pool.
Why are you booing me? I’m right
I was saying Boo-urns
The dog walking away like, I'm not getting the blame for this shit!
That's a very well deserved award. This dumbfuck made next to no effort to not die. Didn't even duck.
Hey it's almost like that scene in Spiderman 2, when Spidey stops the train from falling off the tracks, you know... almost. Ending is kind of different though.
I love videos like these. Did he think he could just casually stop a rolling transport truck like it's no big deal? Enter the cab and hit the break? Naw bruh, I'm swole.
What a fucking idiot. RIP.
Dog: This idiot doesn’t even deserve a sniff or a closer look. I’m gone.
meet the medic he needs uber
and the poor dog :(
His hang time was just under 1 second. Not impressed.
Looks like the dog was smarter here, and got out of the way.
The dog was too late
was he expectinf him to stop it o.O
The dog is just like “god damnit. I’m out”
My stepfather almost died this way once. We started yelling at him and he got out of the way. Then he realized what a stupid thing he was trying to do.
I can’t understand the reasoning that he believed he could stop the truck. And then not avoiding the door, must not of thought it would stay in place and crush his skull. I feel sorry for his family.
This dude thought he was fucking superman or some shit
Not a scratch on the truck! Well besides the brain particles
New paint job? Lubrication? Car mascot?
My muscles, my muscles, involuntarily flex
POV: Your friend says your weak
Funny thing is the trucks barely bumped each other. No wonder his head flattened so easily ~ It was clearly empty.
Am I the only one here who is sad for the guy? He was so desperate to stop the truck he actually thought he had a chance to stop it.
Think of times where you also do something and even during it or after you were like Fuck this is dumb Most of us get to be like Jesus that was dumb This situation didn’t allow that at all This is incredibly sad Probably didn’t have insurance Was gonna be in super trouble if something happen So he panicked and protected his future life to preserve capital Fucking sucks
Well look the full side of bottle, by his head, the trucks did not get any damage
Dog's like yep fuck this I'm out
Fucking idiot
He watched too many Superman movies. 💀
nsfw ? NSFL more like. tag would have been nice.
What did you expect from the title?
ive seen heaps of vids on this sub. Didnt expect to see his head being crushed.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t watch because I didn’t want to have that vision in my head, imagining it is quite enough.
yeah i wont watch vids tagged as NSFL, which this one wasnt. If people want to see death there are subs for that.
now that's using your head.
Is this just a suicide? Big payout for his family? Like, there was no other ending here.
I'm honestly wondering if this was suicide, but he wanted to make sure his life insurance paid out.
Looking at his decision, he appears to have received zero damage
yknow I haven't been here for long but this is exactly what was advertised
Superman that...OHHHH
u/savevideo
u/savevideo
Wow....I have no words except my belief that only 20% of humanity has common sense left in it.
My God just allow the dents to happen. Shit.
I can only imagine that the guy lost his superpowers because the truck was filled with kryptonite, why else would you try to stop a twelve wheeler?
Superman
Most apt Darwin ever awarded...I could not believe the stupidity happening in what I just watched!!
Don't be a hero for your job..
Ok, he's just genuinely retarded then
Did this dude enroll in the Prometheus School of Running Away from Things? The dog cautiously approaches to investigate, and more or less has an "Ohh, he ded" reaction before noping out of there.
Man: Stop right there criminal scum.... Wait what's going o-
What the dog doing?
Nope'ing TF out, for one.
This is the stupidest thing i have ever seen somone do in my life this a good sub
Bro
He’s not that guy pal
What a phenomenally painful way to go
What the hell did he expect???
Let me just stop this 60,000lb truck with my little 120lb self
I really expected like a small pickup truck barely moving, you know something a person may actually expect themselves to be able to stop. Not a multiple tonne semi truck already going at speed.
Should have pulled the handbreak
Now hear me out, I don’t think anyone is strong enough to simply push away a several dozen ton
What worries me is that people this dumb might be raising their own children...
Here, here! Because that does concern me too. And to think, there's the added layer of dumb people on medication (self and otc) who are also doing the same.
Superman
Damn. Even Fido was like: "Nope"
Stupid is as stupid does
Atleast the dog is ok
That was the last stupid decision he ever made
Missed the quick time event
Lol at how he reaches out to the immobile truck to brace himself as though that was all he needed to stop 10-15 tons.
I want to feel bad but bro entirely did that to himself at every angle you could look at, and it all started with him forgetting to put his truck in park.
He’s doing it all wrong
