Inventors Killed By Their Own Inventions

21:10 "he went 10 years younger to 6 feet under" 😂😂😂 impress

Dad jokes with fun facts. Truly a father figure

Here’s an intresting story: While British inventor and billionaire James Hezelden didn’t invent the Segway, he did own the company in 2010 when this even took place. He was out riding his Segway in the woods when he lost control, fell of a cliff, and died. That’s right, the owner of Segway died while riding a Segway!

Oceangate's Titan submersible suffered from a deplorable lack of maintenance. Having made several deep dives already, the carbon fiber was far overstressed, and when it finally imploded, it shattered, not crumpled. Glorified plastic and deep ocean pressures are not good bedfellows.

Does anyone have a feeling that this will become a series?

One more... I don't remember the name of the person, but the guy who was the main designer for the Soviet T-34 tank. In order to prove how reliable it was, he himself sat at the driver's seat of the first prototype tank and crossed several hundreds of kilometers in harsh Russian winter in it, only stopping shortly to refuel it when needed. With Stalin himself interested in the outcome of the test drive, the stakes were high. Well, he made it, the tank proved its reliability, but he soon realized he had made a "small" design flaw. He forgot to make heating for the crew compartment. After the journey, he got severe pneumonia and died...

Be Amazed Never fails to bring Entertainment for me 😂😂

What I’d like to say about Wan Hu is that he did get into space, but learned the hard way that there’s no air in space. On the plus side, he was able to feel what the sun is like on the skin without any atmosphere between him and the sun. On the negative side, he didn’t live long afterward.

The first one took '' You got sense, but not common sense'' too literally 💀😭🤣

Part two please we need this to be a series.

10:05 His friends have come forward and said he didn’t actually think the earth was flat, he just wanted the attention and publicity

My understanding of the video: Don't invent things, its dangerous - i'm just gonna stay on my couch 🤣 Cheers ClearGlimpse

2:27 "He went on his first balloon flight in November 1783" 5 seconds later Editor: Shows the year 1985 instead of 1785 for his failed flight 2 years later Something tells me that the editor was also confused by the inventors being killed by their own inventions to make that slip up...

I remember Otto Lilienthal from a bio about the Wright Brothers I had to read for a report. It made a note of his last words after his fatal accident, "sacrifices must be made." It was because of his death that the Wright brothers decided the most important component of their flying machine would be a steering system.

One little bit he left out with the sub is that the controls was a video game controller, A VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER. I’m surprised he was even allowed to send it off…

Hey, I think I have seen Wile E. Coyote do some of these things! 😂

7:23 I don’t know why, but I laughed extremely hard at “Le grand poopoo head”.

Some of these inventions really didn’t seem that worthwhile, but whinstantly genuinely made a groundbreaking world changing invention and I’m glad a single failure didn’t stop further use of those lighthouses

I remember seeing a Popular Science article about a more modern flying car design. One interesting thing pointed by the article was previous inventors where thinking the wrong way round: designing a car that could serve as a plane. The design featured in the issue was a plane that could serve as a car.

Don’t invent unless you know what you are doing by making sure you’ve thought everything through and tested it
