How do you get the length of a rope wrong?? A dangerous stunt using a rock formation as a swing and he didn’t measure the difference needed to avoid the ground (I’m shaking my head in disbelief here) Also parkour looks amazing when participants jump from one bit to another, use it to climb from the ground to a upper floor, but why do a back flip on the top of a 16 floor building?? Ok jumping from roof to roof (flipping optional) is dangerous enough, but if your making the transition, yes it’s amazing, but just trying to do a back flip (I’m guessing it was on the edge of the building) seems pretty darn stupid knowing if you miss the landing, you get either landing (on your back/butt/head) the roof side and end up very sore (possibly breaking bones) Or you slip the side where (in this case) plummet 16 floors to your death Yes death because no one can survive a fall from that height without some form of landing protection Even a fall into water when it’s not a planned situation (diving/jumping) will damage the body. I’ll surely put my vote in for a Darwin Award for those Very tragic they died, but I can’t help but think it was stupidity that happened. If they just used a bit of common sense and most of all thought about safety for incase things went south. A simple test swing at the base with full extension of the rope making sure was above and clear of ground level. Picking a part of the building where if you are going to miss the landing there is a bit of it where you fall only a meter both sides and not the bit where one side is a meter and the other is 16 floors (52.8 meters) Most of this list, yes it was a stunt gone horribly wrong. But those two are more when stupidity made the stunt go wrong and they horribly wasted their life over it
Mentioned, but deserved his own entry, was Karl Wallenda. In 1978, at age 73, Wallenda attempted a walk between the two towers of the ten-story Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on a wire stretched 121 ft (37 metres) above the pavement. As a result of high winds and an improperly secured wire, he lost his balance and fell during the attempt.
Sean Cunningham really shouldn't be on this list. His death was a horrible tragedy, but he wasn't doing any stunt at the time — he was on the ground, in an unmoving aircraft, doing routine pre-flight checks. That's something that hundreds/thousands of pilots do everyday & should've been totally safe. An experienced pilot doing a routine check and getting an unavoidable mechanical failure (that should never have happened) while sitting on the ground is not the same as some idiot putting himself in a lawnchair and tying on weather balloons.
Im sorry, but the dumbass with the rocket always gets me. I don't agree with the flat earth stupidity, but any death is tragic. At the same time, theres a good reason you shouldn't make a rocket at home

No good, no videos showing everything !
There is plenty of real footage of the accidents online but I guess watchmojo doesn't want to show them
"Receiving several fatal injuries which he didn't survive." Really? Has anyone ever survived a fatal injury?
Sweet 🧁 Johnny 🏍️
RIP TO ALL. DEATH IS JUST HERE DO NOT IGNORE HIM.
"Rap-eling" surely you mean "Ruh-pel-ing" rappelling…..
I must really be baked because for a second there i thought Potter was the doggo

Why drag an innocent dog to death beacuse of the idiocy of its owner.
Rip who died during the dare devil stunt
To each their own but seeing the suffering of the families makes me wonder, what's the point ?
Larry Walters didn't get a Darwin Award. He was named an honorable mention. You have to die to be eligible for a Darwin.
Natural Selection at its purest
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
rAaaapelling. 😂
Omg the doggg!!😢
Entertaining video but seriously dude, learn how to pronounce rappelling. For a watchmojo video I expected better
