Texting while driving is more like "What seems downright suicidal, but millions of idiots do it anyway?"
I have trouble texting in the passenger seat.😄😄
I could call them idiots too, but I realised my dad does it too. While I’m also in the car.
I drive 8-12 hours a day and am constantly switching from my work app to gps to text to snap to RUclips to Google etc. There's a way to do it and not be a dip shit but seeing as many people struggle with driving as it is we can't allow it I guess.
That's like saying there's a way to drive drunk and not hit people. I mean, sure, there may be a way, but it's just strictly speaking less safe. Even if you're *really* good at being drunk.
Reasons why I dont drink and always the designated driver for when my friends go batshit drunk.
Buddy of mine drowned in a quarry minutes after asking his girlfriend to marry him. She said yes, and he jumped in the water because he was happy, got sucked under by a current , and didnt come back up. At first, she thought it was a bad joke. After a few minutes she freaked out, and had to find her way back out of the abandoned quarry alone and find help.
Omg, that's tragic
Why tf would he do that
That is unbelievably depressing.
It's depressing from your point of view but it is in fact, kind of funny
@@johnshamlou9864 what's funny about a 15 year old drowning in front of his gifriend and her being afraid to leave in case he somehow came back up?
Hmm, that Peppa Pig example is one of the very rare occasions I can approve of a ban. Teaching children in Australia that spiders are not to be feared as a threat could have very tragic consequences.
But they *are* nothing to fear. Respect? Yes. Be logical? Yes. But fear? Hell No. Even a tarantula won't bite if it doesn't feel threatened.
@@hichigoshirosaki3665 yep, if you fear them you'll make dumb decisions instead of taking control.
@@anguspate6510 exactly. You need to stay calm and rational.
@@hichigoshirosaki3665 how old do you think the kids in Australia watching pepper pig are?
@@whoskxnji4551 old enough to know that spiders aren't something to fear, but rather to respect.
Belly flopping into a pool. Most people think It's water, it's soft. Not at 40 miles an hour it's like cement!
Especially salt water
Rest In Peace
We used to belly flop all the time at our city pool to see who could end up with reddest chest/belly
Well I doubt you will reach 40mph or anything past 5mph (I use km so im talking shit) but if you bellyflop from the edge of the pool the worst thing that can happen is pain and water up your nose
@@thomasanguita6568 it’s a reference to John pinette
i must reiterate the one about shoving people into bodies of water. panic is a thing, and if they breath in water on their way down they're in trouble.
A former lifeguard
i also want to add "breath holding competitions" . besides just the risk of breathing in water, if you do these contests in rapid succession you increase the odds of passing out or inhaling water
ive been pushed into a pool before and can confirm that i fucking panicked and almost inhaled water
smaug
I cant swim. I Went to a few swimming Lessons as a kid, But really really didnt Like the instructors (they weren't abusive or anything, Just assholes) and the Other Kids there we're Always annoying and irritating.
I dont Like swimming, i dont Need to swim.
Im a photographer in a tour that includes swimming and have seen this very often, even with a lifejacket/floatie when a person panics they will sink and start inhaling water.
Another thing that seems harmless, but is incredibly dangerous? Any act preceded with the sentence, "Hey Ya'll Watch This".

10:24 - Yes, be VERY careful around ladders. I used to work at a certain Mart that sold Walls, and they had a 30' ladder with a broken leg, and despite me reporting it repeatedly, they still insisted that I should climb to the very top to reach the modular shelving they stored way up high. I, of course, refused, _repeatedly,_ and it made management so upset that they started targeting me with a bunch of stupid crap to try and make me quit. I eventually did (being written up due to not standing out in a freak blizzard in a T-shirt and shorts was the final straw; the store manager and I had a screaming match in the middle of the store), and less than a week after I left, one of my coworkers fell off the top of that 30' ladder and cracked his head on concrete. He was training to get his pilot's license because his lifelong dream was to fly, but now he has frequent seizures, and so he can't. They stole his dream from him because they ignored me. They got away with it, too.

Something I learned the hard way when I was a little kid with my babysister that still gives me nightmares. Anywhere in your house, apartment, etc you will walk while carrying a baby, never ever put anything in your path that will make it difficult to walk, or that you could possibly trip over; and if you do have to, you don't attempt to carry the baby through until it's been moved.
babysitter's fault for allowing a little kid to carry a baby
@@woohrp there was no mention of a baby sitter in that post...they put baby sister as one word which can look like that if your not actually reading fully.
@@xenyadot Guardians fault for letting a little kid carry a baby
you just reminded me of somethning. I love watching ER and A/E shows and there was one where the mum was carrying her baby down a spiral staircase. tripped, and basically launched the child from her arm and through a window on the 2nd floor. So the baby (1yr'ish) landed outside full of broken bones and glass. I am pretty good at watching injuries in those shows (as I know it will be ok most of the time), but that one was really rough. Especially as the bed the ambulance use is meant for adults, so it was just this tiny little human on that massive stretcher with all the nurses basically recoiling.
On a lighter not I was carrying a dog, and manged to stab myself in the side by walking into a door handle. And my immediate reaction was to throw the dog so I didn't fall on her. Luckily threw her on the bed right next to us, but took many weeks for her to forgive me.
Never ever am i going to carry a baby in my life
Its just to much responsibility for me to handle - just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous already
It has become one of my biggest fears
Don't declaw. Cat scratches are so much less worrying than cat bites. But ALWAYS wash them out immediately.
Are you suggesting declawing a cat will increase the likelihood of cat bites?
@@Statutum Yup. Makes perfect sense: the cat learns they can't scratch anymore, they start biting instead.
@@Statutum .... declawed cats can't defend themselves if they git outside. Also it can lead to paw problems.

Yeah, so many people love to romanticize dangerous animals and go
" they're not out to get you! "
They don't have to be. The point is that if you run into them, intentional or by accident, your life is in danger, especially if the spiders are venomous.
Exactly and just because they’re dangerous doesn’t mean they’re bad. It doesn’t mean they’re evil creatures who only want to harm and kill. They’re wild animals. They will see you as either prey or a threat most of the time. And a whole lot of them react to that with violence and aggression. It doesn’t mean they’re bad, it means that you don’t seem safe to them or they see you as food which again doesn’t make them bad. Nobody has any issue with dangerous animals killing other animals for food, they only see you as another animal to eat. They do not care about if you are fully sapient or not food is food to them.
This includes pets.
A pet is ultimately a wild animal that has been conditioned to function better around a specific human or humans in general.
A domesticated dog will still bite and KILL anything it thinks it needs to.
A cat, while small, will not hesitate to harm others to protect itself.
A parrot, domesticated or not, will bite off your damn nose and claw out your eyes if it has had enough of your insults because believe me, they KNOW what a insult is.
And no matter what anyone else says reptiles do not form any kind of familial bond or ever domesticate in the way a mammal would.
Reptiles are not physically capable of making those kinds of bonds, their brains are wired differently in that regard.

Sink your trampoline in the ground and put your net around it. Kids don't always zip up netting. Saves a lot of broken bones.
Foook me you're not living a happy childhood unless you fall off a trampoline a few times.
Stop turning the frogs gay
@@feldgraufox4927 So you WANT kids to fall off the trampoline so it becomes a good childhood?
I had to read that three times before I realized you said trampoline and not tampon
@@yeet3385 no what i'm saying is stop wrapping your kids up in cotton wool, where's the danger and the excitement and the laughter when someone has a tumble. Kids bounce, they have a little cry and then they are playing again like it never happened.
Let them have stick fights, whittle wood with pen knives, light fires, go fishing by the river, do jumps and tricks on their bicycles or rollerblades, climb trees, balance walk along walls. This is all normal kid stuff
Then again no you probably raise your kid to watch tv because its the only thing that keeps them quiet apart from food. Big fat kids with no social skills or experience outside of the inside walls of your home. Probably cant even ride a bike
My teacher told me that the red streaks coming from a hand wound we're 'fine' and that I was trying to get out of school. Assistant teacher told her off, sent me home, and yelled at the teacher. I'm alright now. I had almost died.
What happened?
@@gunterhunter9943 ^^ I agree.
@@gunterhunter9943 If you ever have a wound and start to see red lines (under your skin, not on the surface) coming from the wound, it's an indication of a serious lymphatic infection. You should go to the ER immediately because it can be fatal in a very short period of time. Happened to my uncle one time, he had gotten a cut on his foot from jet skiing in dirty water. He hit a log that cut his foot up. In only a few days there was a red line going up his leg all the way up the inside of his thigh. The dr. told him he was very lucky, if it reached his heart he would have been dead in a day or so.
@@xeokym223 oh thx
@@xeokym223 I was indeed brought to the ER. they said it was a bad infection- pulled my mum aside to talk, and they gave me pills.

Going Hiking, as someone who hikes often through the many trails near where I live, you can trust me on this.
Most of the time, it's just harmless nature walking, you get to see birds, squirrels, and the occasional garder snake or two. But in one specific trail I like to go through there is wolfs, I had never saw one until last winter where while I was walking through it, I saw one in-between the trees, I got the hell out of there, a hungry wolf is not something you want to see. That also transitions greatly into my next topic, Winter, if you are going through a forest trail during winter, watch out for ice patches, or super snowy patches, falling off one of those things can be dangerous, especially if near a sheer surface. One last thing, don't go out if you know, think, or have a suspicion that rain is coming, if you get trapped on a forest trail during a rainstorm, a landslide could occur, which would lead to a most likely slow and painful death.
I didn't want your story to end! Wow!
@@firestalker77
Thanks
Hiking in Canada. Watch out for those bears eyyy!
Not to mention the most common sense hiking thing that most people don't listen to. If you're not familiar with the area. DON'T GO OFF THE TRAIL! So many people go missing while hiking and it's really sad cause it can be completely avoided if you just stay on the trail. Not to mention there's plenty of dangers that even completely experienced hikers could be done in by if they stumble upon them off-trail. Ravines, cliffs, sinkholes, traps, etc.
DO NOT run away from wolves, stand your ground and DO NOT make any eye contact, if it is not going away, make your self as big as possible, if it were to attack anyway, attack at its eyes and nose sensitive places
I've been in the hospital twice for cat bites. One was a neighbours house cat that got out. He broke bones in my right hand and swelled up in 2 hours. Then our cat got out at night. I found him but i shined the flashlight on him. I didn't realize he couldn't tell it was me. He went crazy when i grabbed him and tore up my left hand. He split the bones in 3 finger. I had to have stitches. Both time i ended up and antibiotics for 2 weeks.
My dad used to have a cat he really loved and it got lost someone found the cat he went to go pick it up, it bit him and he went to the hospital for a week
Also turns out it wasn’t his cat
Luckily the cat came back
Man, that was tough!
Also, cool reddit stories on muay plage. Every view helps!
Antibiotics for what?
@@tristissimvshominvm8999 infection from the bites.
how the duck does a cat break human bones with its mouth-
Speaking of springs, there was an idiot guy I knew in Army who repaired Humvees. He was assigned to replace rear shocks and incorrectly released an old shock causing the spring to shoot off and decapitated the guy.
I wonder what happened to his trainer.
We had a front shock explode in front of us one time, all three of us were leaning over it, it's an honest to God miracle we lived
Jesus fucking Christ. He did not deserve that. Guess that's what happens when you aren't careful.
Goddamn man!
Note that this can happen with your shocks on any car. Don't fuck with springs. DO NOT FUCK WITH SPRINGS. Do it right or pay the money to have someone else do it.
Demanding somebody is paying attention to what you're saying to them more than their driving while you're both in the car heading somewhere. Driving involves multiple human motor and cognitive skills, that always involves the use of their eyes, to do it safely so it's best to not distract them.
If the driver isn't giving their complete undivided attention to you talking smack about Brenda or Bryan, it's not because they're ignoring you and refuse to acknowledge your existence. They're doing something that requires a significant amount of their attention to make sure neither one of you or someone else gets hurt.
It's you having insecurities you feel entitled to others alleviating for you and completely lacking in self awareness or you'd see how dangerous distracting a driver while the car's still in motion is
It's why I don't allow my mother in my car with me anymore. She always pulled the "look at me" bs while incessantly bitching at me when I needed to keep my eyes on the road because I was driving. Then had the gall to blame me for driving distracted if I almost messed up when her demands for my attention would get to so bad she'd start yelling, screaming and guilt tripping me for darig to ignore my own mother. Some people are just too dangerous to have as passengers because their toxic attachment to your attention somehow takes precedence over everything else.
Jesus...well done for making the right decision!
I rear-ended another car once because my mother was talking and distracted me. Fortunately, it was at something like 3Mph/5Kph so no damage was done to either car, but she wisely shut up after that incident.
my grandma does that to my grandpa all the time even though he told her that he needs to focus
0:20 yes!! If you don’t like a group of people because of this, trust me, don’t let yourself get more close with them than you feel comfortable with. You may feel pressured because you’re already friends with one person and the group is cool sometimes, but if overall it’s a problem, save yourself the trouble. You deserve to be comfortable with the people you’re around and you should be
That's great if you make that decision before you do something with them, but what if you're already deep in the woods on a camping trip when you realize they're a bunch of dummies?😂😂😂
@@xeokym223 yeah that’s the context I was putting this in, just in general, if you aren’t comfortable with a group don’t make yourself get close with them. Especially not close enough to go deep in the woods on a camping trip lol

It is strange to me how people make fun of you for taking care, and then people die of it, and then new people roll around and make fun of you again.
I am at the point where I pretend they are respawning NPCs and I confuse the Name of the person who is mocking me with the last person who died of it.
Stairs, Ladders, Cars, heavy Boxes. That stuff is important guys.
Same with all the idiots who are like "Relax, It's unloaded." They give a bad name to gun owners. Most of them are completely sane, normal people who obsessively follow safety protocals, lock up there guns when they aren't using them, and try to educate more people on how to be safe around firearms. They are mainly really good, awesome people. Just because you only hear about the psychos doesn't mean they're all psychos.
Time stamp 0:20 is spot on. A young friend of mine ended up spending years behind bars because he was around some idiot friends when they killed someone. He refused to cooperate with police because he didn't want to be a rat. The stress on his mother dealing with legal issues, visitation, etc. led to her premature death.
Which is a good testament of how things are very nuanced. Snitches get stitches, but sometimes it's just the right thing to do...while getting stitches.

This video has taught me that everything can explode with the right chemicals added to it.
I am going to fill my shoe with caesium and then pour water in it so I have an excuse for staying inside
That's basically a good portion of any safety part of chemistry
Make enough soap and one could blow up just about anything!
@@taco2188 Yeah, you get to be inside the forever box if you do that.
And with the right chemicals, almost everything will explode. Eg: Chlorine Triflouride. I was reminded of it because of the person in the video talking about computer chips. Chlorine Triflouride is used to clean the vapor deposition chambers used in microchip manufacturing, because it reacts with almost everything apart from its own oxides so it makes a great cleaner for burning away dust particles inside the chambers.
The containers used to hold it have to be especially treated with Chlorine Triflouride gas in order to build up an oxide layer so that the chemical will no longer react with the metal.
When Chlorine Triflouride reacts with some substances, such as cement flooring, it breaks down into gasses which are both toxic and corrosive or, to put it another way, the by-products are at least as bad as the substance itself.
Oh... and it's "explosively hypergolic" with water. Which basically means that it makes water spontaneously combust - I.E. burst into flame - so rapidly that it's effectively an explosion.
Advice you read on the internet, never take it at face value, like drilling screws into your car tires instead of getting snow tires, doing that not only will pop your tires but won't prevent you skidding off the road.
They actually make studded tires for vehicles in areas that have a lot of snowfall
This one might be a little obscure but always ALWAYS properly clean your workpiece before welding. Avoid galvanized stuff, but if you absolutely have to weld on galvie, grind off all the zinc in the general area of the weld. If you don’t it creates zinc oxide and other dangerous compounds that make you really sick. And something else super important: never use brake cleaner or anything like that to clean a workpiece because if you do it can combine with arc chemicals and make phosgene and stuff like that. Nasty stuff
Yeah, anytime you weld galvanized material, be in a full face fresh air setup. And make sure you're in a well ventilated area as well. Galvanized metal is a serious hazard if not prepared properly.
I used to work in a welding shop that was in an old diesel garage and that’s when I learned the hard way to properly clean everything all the time lol
Thanks for that. You may have saved my stupid ass!
My brother one pointed a fly gun loaded with salt at my face. I told him to stop it. His response: "don't worry. It's not loaded." Then it went off in my face. I got angry and told him to never point a gun at someone unless you intended to shoot.
Speaking of trampolines, I once had a dream where I hit the side of the trampoline with my shoulder. That woke me up, and I noticed the corresponding arm was completely inert due to poor circulation. Fortunately that was quickly remedied with no lasting harm.
Happens to me sometimes. Sometimes when I wake up, the arm is completely paralyzed and ice cold. The first time it happened I picked it up intrigued and held it in front of my face, but when I let go it dropped on my face so hard it busted my nose. Btw, in the 3 or 4 minutes of rubbing that it takes to get blood flowing like normal, it's the worst pins and needles sensation ever
Just a rule of thumb: it takes about 12 hours of a muscle having no blood flow before permanent damage starts.
Dude I spent 2 weeks in jail once, because the bed was so hard and i was basically sleeping on metal and my arm ended up under me.. It went numb... I woke up in the middle of the night and my arm was completely dead. I couldnt even wiggle a finger or anything.. I mean it was DEAD. I fucking thought i had a stroke or something and panicked ... Freaked me out.. Was liike 2 minutes before it felt proper again
Same! Except my dream was that my arm needed to be amputated due to zombie bite lol
I've woken with paralysed arm like 2 or 3 times and I was really scared the first time. It was probably because of some pressure on a nerve, beause it didn't change color so I don't think it was blood circulation issue.
One of the saddest stories I heard was this guy who went to Yellowstone with his dog. He let it off leash and the dog went barreling into one of those pools and the guy went right in after him. Keep your dogs on the leash guys.

Farmer here: we have three steers and have recently come into a bison in our fenced pasture on our property. Two sides of this pasture line the intersection we reside on, and numerous cars choose to slow down or stop on the side of the road to get a good look. Three times in my life, my family has had to get people (and/or their children) out of the pasture and back into their cars because they went in when we weren't looking. It's one of the only things that'll make my mother swear in front of her children, and the only thing that'll get me to raise my voice so the next county over can hear me shouting. Stay away from any big livestock; they don't know you and even if they do they get angry fast.
i grew up on a farm, and work on my grandparents, thankfully theyre jerseys so theyre not too crazy, but ive heard stories, like once my great grandma was doing something or another with a bull with some family, if i remember it kicked her, or rammed her chest, broke some ribs, someone had to take a 2x4 and hit it in the head and kill it to keep it from causing any more damage to her, worst part is knowing my families history with livestock it was probably a beautiful bull
When I was out west working at a national park, a Japanese family sadly lost their 3 year old to a bison “accident”; they approached the bull like they were in a theme park, propped their toddler on its back and stepped back a few paces to take advantage of a photo op with their kid atop a Buffalo 🦬…. Sadly the child’s neck was broken (almost decapitated by the bull) and the mother was gored trying to rescue her son (she lived, they were both injured). Sad, preventable situation. Some people just assume because it’s a park the animals should be tame or something!!?
Out of curiosity, are you on the edge of a rural area such that city people pass by often? I feel like that is really obvious to a vast majority of rural people that grew up on farms.
I mean.. cows kill mor ppl per year than sharks do
That's just plain disrespectful of people. Who trespasses onto another's property to touch animals they don't know?

Acid tablets. They can open your mind and you have a good time, but the bad trips are the exact opposite
I don't really care about recreational drugs, but I know damn well I shouldn't every try them because my mental health is very sensitive. If you experience psychosis or are generally in a bad mental state, don't.
Acid is crazy lol
I heard people say that there are no bad trips, just challenging ones. Are you suggesting that a bad acid trip can set you back in open mindedness? I can't even conseve how that would happen. Maybe that's just because I've only had good trips
@@theEnt-1 Good question. I prefer challenging trips like you mentioned as a better answer.
@@theEnt-1 it's not inherently the trip itself, it's what it could cause. It could trigger an episode or lead to a spiral, and that's not good. Plus, I've already been through hell with regular psychosis, I don't want to experience that again. More for y'all lmao

20:29. My dad's friend was cleaning his "unloaded" gun, a 9mm berretta, when he had the barrel resting on his knee and he pulled the slide back. The slide slipped and he found out, a little too late, that the gun was, in fact, very much loaded. The resulting discharge took out a good chunk of his calf, which is still missing to this day. Thankfully, he recovered and can still walk without the need for any kind of support.
He now teaches gun safety in his spare time and will gladly show you what happens when you treat a gun as "unloaded".
Guns are much more dangerous than most people realize
Even if it is a .177 caliber bb/pellet gun,they can end a life with ease
Or a snapping turtle as "friendly".

Messing with old electronics/circuit boards. Just because it’s off it’s power source doesn’t mean it’s safe because they usually have capacitors. Mess with the wrong parts, it’ll stop your heart.

Yes, it can still kill you if you unplug a device and immediately proceed to get inside it with your hands, but that's not the same as an old device or a circuit board that hasn't been plugged in for a long time.

@@user-bw6jg4ej2m Some capacitors can hold a lethal charge for an incredibly long time. I've heard of old picture tubes holding a lethal charge for days, if not longer. Anyone who was trained to work on them was always told how to safely discharge the tube before working on one.

@@gayce6662 what happened afterword
For the garage springs one, ours has broke twice (different sides of the same door) and my dad has fixed them both. He isn't garage person, but he knows how to fix them and the dangers of not knowing what you're doing, so when it happened we double checked that we did/set everything up right so the spring wouldn't harm us.
I realised it's also the tool you use. Dont just try using a long piece of rebar.. like me and a friend did 🤣🤣🤣 we are lucky
Honestly, literally anything if someone is stupid enough, depressed enough, or a lot of other 'enoughs'
i actually have a kink related one. dont use a belt to tie yourself or your partner up. it can fuck up the wrists causing damage to the hands. if you really feel the need to bound yours or your partners wrists but dont have handcuffs or rope then use long socks, pants, or a long sleeve shirt its much safer. also dont try to pop ur back it can make you paralyzed.
U really had to out me with the poppig back one lawl . I have a neck cracking tic that gets scary smtimes
Lol I remember when I went to my friend's house one day when we were like 7 or 8.
I'm a left hander and she's a right hander. We thought to ourselves that if our skin is sticked together like how few twins will be birthed with their bodies sticked together ( this thought isn't random. There's a horror story with this 2 sticked twins in our local) so we grabbed the tape and tightly wrapped my right hand and her left hand wrist together and acted like we were born stuck. We were playing and his dad came suddenly. She got scared and quickly removed it but the tape was on my wrist. He said, "the blood circulation will be disturbed, don't do this" lol
What do you exactly mean by dont pop the back?
@@yop186 I suoppose dont crack your back?

The cat scratch one I know well. My dad was scratched by our cat, and he got an infection that was life threatening. If it spread 1 way, it would have killed him, if it went the other way, he would have been paralyzed. He managed to make a full recovery.
Ted Nugent warned about that years ago
Hydraulic injury story.
I had a coworker who was working on a 10k forlift with another coworker. The guy checking for the leak had his arm in a access panel with his hand feeling around for the leak and he was instructing the other coworker to tap the hydraulic function to identify where the leak was coming from. End result- he found the leak at the cost of nearly decapitating half his hand. (A pin hole on a line producing 5500psi will cut through flesh like butter). He lost his hand and half his forearm since hydraulic fluid eats flesh. Never mess with hydraulics if you aren't qualified. And even then, be very careful.
Apparently garage door springs are so dangerous that they sprung twice on this list.
Ba-dum tsssss
you had to.
Undercurrent most people will flail around and try to get out, you cannot get out of it, hold your breath and stay still, reserve your energy as long as you can, and wait for it to die out. It may die out in about 40 feet they normally don’t last super long.
I got pulled into one a few years back when I was at the beach with my friends and that little bit of advice saved my life because I was flailing and couldn’t get out (because I was pulled under) and eventually I stopped flailing because I didn’t have the energy and I remembered it and I managed to escape it about 20 feet away I did not go into the water alone for a while
Using unapproved ropes or web that isn’t made for towing, being used for towing/recovery/pulling up stumps. When that rope snaps it’ll slice you open like warm butter.
Yeah, I was in a pretty dramatic situation like that once, except there was also 200 ft of taught wire involved.
No one was hurt though, and we all know better now.
Scratching a scab with your EDC knife. Had a tiny ant/spider bite on the back of my leg that itched, i was cleaning my nails with my Pocket Knife and didnt think anything of it, and used the blade to scrape the itch on my leg, scraped off the tiny scab (hurt a tiny bit) and just kind of went "oops, forgot about that" and went back to cleaning my nails. 2 days later I was unable to even stand on my leg or walk anywhere, Black lines where radiating out from the tiny wound.... Serious infection, had to take antibiotics for two weeks. The pain was so unbelievable, its indescribable how bad it hurt. Ive broken my finger with a table glass top that slipped from my hand and smashed my finger between the table edge and the glass... and it hurt so bad it made me sweat... that was child's play next to this.
The drains in swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, and water parks. They may not seem that dangerous but there is a very powerful pump connected to those drains that is sucking water in from the bottom/ walls of the pool to recirculate and filter the water as well as move water to water slides and other water attractions. The older style drain covers are flat and if a person gets too close to it they can seal the drain with their body and be held to the bottom of the pool and drown, think of what happens when a shop vac hose sucks to your leg, now imagine that underwater but with 10 times the force. These things can hold as much as 450lbs of force when they become blocked which is more than 3 adult men can over come. Not to mention long hair can get tangled in the cover and hold your head underwater, if the cover comes off the sump of the drain your arm or foot and sometimes entire leg can be sucked into the pipe, or in a few cases a child sat on the drain sealing it with their butt, causing the extreme suction to pull their intestines out of their body and into the pump. In quite a few cases around the world there have been instances where the drain in a water park was very large and had a large pipe inside the sump (think 6' by 4' by 3' deep with a 12-14" wide pipe inside the sump under the grate), and a kid either lifted the cover and got sucked into the actual pipe or the cover came off causing a kid to become sucked into the pipe. There was an instance at a water park at the isle of mann where a British teenager was sucked into the piping system of the water park while he was looking for his goggles. This term is called suction entrapment and it has happened since the 1950s world wide and has claimed 100s of lives of children and adults. A law was created in the united States to prevent these tragedies and it is called the Virginia Graham Baker pool and spa safety act. It is named after a young girl who lost her life to a pool drain. Pools now a days are safer and have less of a chance for these instances to happen, you can tell that the drain has a newer cover on if it is a raised or dome shaped cover, and usually the drains are split into 2 so if it somehow becomes possible that a drain becomes blocked, the other drain will start sucking water and break the suction to the blocked drain allowing the swimmer to free themselves. Another safety design is called gravity fed suction and its when water flows by gravity from the drains in the pool to a holding tank and the pumps then draw water from the holding tank, thus eliminating any major suction forces. but older pools, hot tubs, and water parks do exist and this is sometimes a unknown danger that exist to this day. So as a precaution, always stay away from drains in a pool.

Oooo Yellowstone. I did a summer college field study on the prairies of Wyoming that ended with a week of leisure in Yellowstone. There are many things seem safe in Wyoming. Bison - they seem calm and cute but they are gigantic beasts that can flip a car with no second thought. Same with moose, (meese?) they can be terrifying and stomp you to mush if you piss them off. In Yellowstone there was a funny looking puddle of bubbling mud we encountered. Turns out it is boiling kaolinite (a mineral) mud that would melt your flesh clean off the bones.
Here's my favorite one: during the actual coursework we were put in groups and sent to explore different parts of the southern WY prairie. When we gathered back at the end of a particular day, one kid was completely plastered with stinky mud head to toe and cussing. Turns out there was this deep (~7 ft) hidden mud puddle (not boiling) where the surface had dried out and appeared to be normal, solid ground. This dude walked away from the group to check out a cows rotting skull he saw on the ground. He walked over to it and plunged straight through the crust and into the deep mud, luckily he was quickly pulled out. The cow head was from a recently deceased cow that died in the mud pit and the head was still above the crust. This cow died when it couldn't climb out of the mud pit. The guy fell into a fetid muddy pit of rotten bovine flesh and survived. He couldn't shower for another 2 days because we were camping on this ranch for a few days before returning to our dorms with running water. He wasn't even in a major that required the study, he took it purely out of curiosity.

One of my former students broke her back while riding an atv. She almost died, and it was terrifying for everyone because they had to keep restarting her heart. She was in a back brace for months, and she was lucky to not only survive but also be able to walk.
I got pushed in the pool once and almost drowned in front of my family. And my cousin who pushed me KNOWS that I can't swim. It was really hard to get out of the water and I was livid.
And all the time after there's still a low grade inability to fully trust anyone that was involved. I don't get why people think this kind of thing is fun or amusing.

Smoking. I truly don’t know why people do it. There’s literally no good reason to do it and there are dozens of reasons not to.
Probably because it was seen as something cool/dignified/mature to do for a loooooong time, even before TV ads and stuff.
@@F1areon Yep and not only was it advertised all over, but parents routinely smoked in the house and car etc. Our living room was always a haze of smoke. We were breathing it in throughout childhood, increasing the likelihood of nicotine addiction when we inevitably started casual smoking.
It helps with stress, it's just hard to get away from and will kill you eventually.
My mom doesn't smoke around anyone unless their 18+
@@Spectrumsurfer Yes to an extent, it's more that it gives us the illusion of relieving stress, but really it is a contributor to the stress. I find the stress relief side of it can be intrinsically linked with taking a break, changing scene to give time to think or escape a situation to ground ourselves again. We should normalise 'taking a moment' without having to have the excuse of a cigarette break. I think that would help at least some smokers to quit, and it would be good for most people (smokers or not) to reduce stress.

Disposable cigarette lighter : people known the fire hazard from this item, but still carelessly by lying it in hot car or in sight of small kids, although the kid never seen you use it, but they can ignite it accidentally.
There's a Myth Busters episode about leaving lighters in a hot car. They couldn't get any of them to explode even after putting the car into heat that was melting the plastic of the seats and was higher than any temperature the car would be in naturally on the earth. I mean I wouldn't say it could never happen, but it's 99.99% unlikely no matter how any car gets, your disposable lighter isn't going to burst into flames. Mainly because lighter fluid needs a spark to ignite, not just high temperatures. I mean if you tossed a dead lighter into a fireplace or campfire it will likely pop, but not just laying in a hot car.
Also every disposable lighter sold (in the US at least) has that childproof metal band over the flint wheel so it's highly unlikely that a little kid is going to be able to strike one alight. I believe the band makes it so that a child's thumb is physically unable to apply enough inertia to spin the wheel enough to make a spark. Not sure up to what age...obviously a 10 or 12 year old is going to be able to do it.
Kids know where the lighter is and play with it when you're at work
Kids bad as hell
@@xeokym223 I had a lighter explode in my car on a hot day. It didn't ignite, but there were lighter fragments all over the car interior.
@@xeokym223 You underestimate the cleverness of small children.
Car Jacks. Specifically scissor jacks, or jack stands...basically laying on the ground inches away from a 2 ton hunk of metal that will crush your skull like a watermelon if your jack isn't on a level stable surface or if the car rolls. Always always use jackstands and backup the stands with the jacks themselves and chock the wheels with stoppers or you will get flattened into a pancake of gore in your own driveway. It doesn't matter how fast the ambulance gets there you will be dead instantly.
Truth. If I ever worked on my car, I put it on ramps, pulled the e-brake, put jack stands under the car, chocked the rear wheels, disconnected the battery and kept my head away from the lowest hanging parts of the engine. I also always kept my cell phone close to me. That way, if literally everything else managed to fail, I would be pinned, but still alive and I could use the cell phone to call someone for help. Thankfully, nothing ever failed, but I don't take any chances when it comes to that kind of stuff.
Fuck scissor jacks, widowmakers, those things.

Putting your feet on my dashboard will definitely get you hurt...no accident required.
11:08 here's another thing about that: always read the instructions on floor cleaners before mixing ANYTHING with it. Things like Lysol or Pinesol or even Fabuloso when mixed with something as simple as Dawn or Palmolive can produce toxic byproducts in the air or on the surface you are cleaning. Even mixing something as seemingly harmless as vinegar with some floor cleaners can cause this and worse.
I once bought a new brand of floor cleaner that I'd never heard of from the Dollar Tree and when I went to mix my mop bucket to clean up spilled soda...I did my usual of mixing vinegar with it (makes the floor dry faster if you're wondering) and the mixture quickly got hot enough to melt through my mop bucket while it was still sitting in my sink...mind you I wasn't even filling it with hot water, I was filling it with cold water because it was winter and I was worried about hot water on my floor tiles. I don't know or care what I produced but I will never do that again.
And I'm at the point in my life with pets that I actually just mop my floor with warm water (or a temperature appropriate for the floors temperature) and a mixture of lemon juice, vinegar and whiskey. Works wonders, evaporates quickly and doesn't damage anything I've used it on yet.
If anyone is interested:
1 gallon appropriate temperature water
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup apple cider or white vinegar
2 shots of cheap whiskey
Do not drink this unless you are stupid and like things that taste like vomit. Never done myself but I can only imagine it's F-ing disgusting.
And if you are really that concerned about it smelling like something, put a drop or two of some essential oil in the mixture. Do not put to much or it will make your floor greasy, slippery and potentially toxic to your pets/children.
And yes, children lick floors, lick their hands that have touched the floor and put everything in their mouths. And dogs still lick their paws even if they aren't compulsive groomers like cats are.
Also if you own reptiles you let run around on the floor do not even put the oil in the mixture because it will osmosis through their belly skin and foot skin and they have incredibly sensitive nervous systems...you can accidentally kill your reptile.
And while on reptiles running freely, DO NOT EVER USE PINESOL ON A FLOOR THEY SPENT ANY AMOUNT OF TIME ON!!
I ran on for a bit but I hope this is useful to someone, just felt the need to get it out there.

The cat bites one is no joke, my ex got bit by her cat and she texts me the next day saying that her hand hurts and has me ask my mom (nurse) about it. I only mentioned a cat bite and she just looked at me and said, its infected
I'm pretty sure these kinds of things only being dealt with after they got bad is because of the whole 'not making a fuss' attitude. I picked up a poorly shrew and it bit me...I was too embarrassed and worried I'd be told off for making a fuss to see a dr. I should have got a precautionary shot. I was not a child.

A local belief: Drinking and driving is wrong, but getting baked on Marijuana while driving is harmless fun.
I dunno how the fuck people do that and think it's a good idea.
In general, bad feelings. We've survived this long as a species because we're observant. If something feels wrong, it probably is, and it never hurts to be a little cautious.
A good example happened to my friend as a kid. She was at the pool with her mom and it was looking like it might thunderstorm bad - wind was blowing, sky was dark, etc. They were rushing everyone out of the water because if lighting strikes a body of water with people in it, you'll fry lol. So my friend and her mom are sitting in little lawn chairs beneath some big tree branches, and all of a sudden her mom gets this awful feeling in her stomach. She doesn't really know what set it off, but she knew she had to scoop up my friend and run. Not even seconds after, a tree fell over right where the two would be sitting.
Still scares the shit out of me to think how close we are to serious injury or death if we make one wrong decision.
Also, if you get bitten by a human, go to the emergency room. We have lots of germs in our mouths that are meant to stay there.
Changing a tire wrong. Always do the initial loosening (breaking loose) of the lug nuts while the car is still on the ground. THEN put the jack under to completely unscrew them. If you try to break them loose while up on stands, you’ll rock it off the jack and hurt yourself. Another thing with tires/wheels is never mess with older semi tires, they have what’s called a split rim, if you accidentally separate it, or overfill it , it will explode with an unimaginable amount of force. That’s why when they do these the put the tire in a protective metal cage in case it explodes. Look up “split rim explosion”
@Aidan Stevens - I just looked this up and... WOW! I just saw a grown man launched several feet into the air in less than a second!
A split rim semi or tractor tire is essentially just a pneumatic bomb. And there are still people who change them without using the cages.
Most of these I'm no authority on, but the dog one I can tell you is incredibly true.
Dogs give body language that most people don't catch, it's not always a growl or bark, it can be as simple as them licking their lips out of stress then bam, you are bit. I work with aggressive and bite case dogs for a career and some of them look way chiller than you would expect. Respect dogs, especially if they are alone without an owner present.
Yup. Dogs read and respect your body language, do the same for them.

I see them too much at work. That's enough.
That intrigues me too.
Also, cool reddit stories on muay plage. Every view helps!
I shouldn't think it's US specific- but as one who has been out on the work force for many years, I can't help but think it's a bad idea to socialize with co-workers too much....Why? Because most people lack the self-control to keep work and their personal lives separate.....and even if it's not any sort of romantic relationship, the dynamics of a friendship can be really detrimental to the dynamics of a workplace.....I'm not educated enough to provide any sort of scientific explanation for this, but I have seen it played over time and time again.
@@ogivecrush fair enough, I ask if it was a US specific thing because I really haven't noticed this as much in Southeast Asia, like sure people do mention to keep boundaries from your superiors and bosses always, no matter how friendly they are, but not so much about co-workers, hell, for most adults here, they are nearly always the only friends and confidants they've got
Everytime i socialize with co workers it goes bad

-work friends get needy. "Bro can you take me hone again...."

Riding a horse... so once I was with some friends who went to ride some Arabian Stallions (weren't well trained). The horse started trying to kick one guy but he stayed in front of it so the horse bit his knee and lifted and slammed him twice before running away (almost trampling the guy).
TLDR; Don't mess with horses
Hiking and camping without proper equipment. For the most part public hiking areas are safe using a little common sense but for those who travel and go hiking / camping in unfamiliar territory, they should always research the area and be prepared for any unusual factors or potential threats. Not only having the right gear, food, water, tp, etc but some areas are habitat for some pretty dangerous predators, most on four legs, but some on two. If the situation dictates that you should be armed then ignoring that crucial message and going without a weapon can end very badly. I've heard too many stories of people wandering into bear territory, or elk, moose, wild cat... unarmed and tragedy occurring when a firearm might or would have made the difference between death and surviving.
0:36 reminds me when I hung with this mean girl (I had just moved back home and everything had changed, but I knew the girl from preschool so hence why I clung so bad)
She convinced me there was no crosswalk on our extremely busy road, so if we wanted to go to the connivance store, we had to dash across the road. Dumbass me believed her and ran, nearly getting hit twice in the dozen + times we did it.
Then one day, randomly, I look left and see a brightly painted crosswalk. I pull whatever gut I had at that time and yelled at her, why did we do this when there was a safe walk. She just grinned, and said nothing.
I guess I’m lucky the money from my mom dried out (my family was super poor, but my mom would give me 5 bucks to share at the store.) and she cut me off hard, because in the last weeks we ‘hung out’, she started talking more and more about walking across the very active railroad bridge next to us. And I know dumbass me would have done it.
The one about having your feet on the dash is so scary. My parents always would tell me to never sit like that and they told me why from a young age and it scared the shit out of me so I never will ever do that. Fast forward to being in a relationship with my ex and he would drive everywhere until the first time I drove and he put his feet up like that as soon as we got in the car and I told him to take them down and he said why do I told him and he said that it's never gonna happen so I shouldn't worry about it. I told him I wasn't gonna drive until he took his feet down. He ended up driving after 10 minutes of us sitting in the driveway arguing about him taking his feet down. He thought it was a stab at his manhood. I guess it's a good thing I got out of that relationship.
He prob ded as hel by now
It dont even have to be a car crash, maybe just an agressive stop or hole
Bullying. Sometimes the simple actions that exclude people can have them form ideas about themselves and they dehumanize their own self and can become traumatized or downright suicidal
That second story about the camping trip is textbook example of flock mentality and how stupid it gets because people choose popular decisions rather than good decisions.
It's almost like a vertical slice of democracy in effect where we have a majority of complete morons vote for convenient decisions that results in having to put out fires that come as a result, instead of just taking measures to preventing them in the first place. Those with actual expertise AND care for society are always ridiculed... End of story.

A guy in my town ate a whole cinnamon stick, and was emitted to the ER. He couldn't breath, had a hard time swallowing, and any water he drunk basically came shooting back up with blood. He basically dried out his throat so much the mucus lining had eroded and the fleshy bits were scarring. He was in the hospital for months and had to be home schooled for a year until he was allowed back on a soft foods diet. I think his throat fully recovered, but I've not seen the guy in 8 years.
I've got a few
Water - my mom told me the story of how when she was a kid, she was at the beach and the current swept her under and out. Luckily her brother (my uncle) was there and she grabbed onto him and was fine (I mean you knew she'd live, otherwise I wouldn't exist).
Clay - I had a ceramics class in grade 11 and before we even got to touch any clay, we had a week-long lesson about clay safety (don't eat it, don't throw it at people, etc). The biggest warning about it was to not inhale the dry particles - silica dust can be very harmful to the lungs and can even cause cancer.
Stairs - especially when you have no free hands. My uncle (not the same one mentioned in the story about water) died because he was walking down the stairs with no free hands. He may have survived if he wasn't physically disabled - his right hand iirc was incapacitated since birth, and he was holding something in his left hand at the time. Fell down the stairs, landed face first, nobody else was home so he lay there with his airway blocked for maybe half an hour. Was taken to the hospital and later died.

Changing a tire incorrectly. If you have to fight with the bolts while the car is lifted you can rock it off the jack and take some serious crush type damage.
Yeah, this is true. That’s also why they recommend doing the INITIAL loosening (not the full loosening, just breaking them loose) while the car is still on the ground, THEN putting jacks under it to completely unscrew and replace the tire.
