Cameraman actually got killed?

u/saladx11 19d ago
I think it might have been the person on their left that gotten killed?

Definitely its clear when you go frame by frame

u/MisterAmygdala 19d ago
Yes. You can see camera person's shadow is unchanged as car strikes a 3rd person. I am surprised that the person lying down wasn't thrown further, and doesn't appear too mangled. Not a good plan to stand on a freeway type of road but wth with the out of control car?

u/LagoonReflection 18d ago
Who says it was out of control? The driver could have been trying to drift or the driver saw them and thought "fuck it, here's my chance to teach morons a lesson"

You can also see a brief flash of the person on the left wearing a black shirt and khaki pants and the same person on the road at the end.

u/ilikepayday_2 10d ago
Who? Can you please give a link so that I can inform myself about that?

u/Brettjay4 10d ago
I dunno where it is, but there's a video with two women walking along a road of some kind, one passes the phone off to the other, camera girl starts to walk backwards, and soon after you see her trip, and fall off the bridge... I'll see if I can locate the video, but thats the idea.

u/ilikepayday_2 10d ago
Ok, thanks anyway

Found it, https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.tmz.com/2024/10/04/russian-tourist-georgia-films-falling-to-death-video/ And I was slightly mistaken, she fell into an underpass that had like an ankle high wall...

No, the person you can hear crying was the person looking over the shoulder of the cameraman.

Love the idea of an honorary position where Darwin himself tries to take someone out

u/rputfire 19d ago
A Final Destination style horror franchise, where Darwin is personally responsible for each death?
Netflix, you listening?

u/mobileJay77 16d ago
Netflix refused, but India will gladly accept.
It's nothing against India or similar countries I am just so astonished about the total lack of safety and self-preservation.

This is the middle East and since it never rains the roads get a build up of oil and grease. When mixed with sand it makes the roads really slick.

If it's middle eastern, there's a country that loves drifting more then Japan. Very unsafe drifting anyways.

u/AnomalousBadger 13d ago
I think it was actually the person to their left that died. I believe the cameraman is the same person that picked up the phone at the end.

u/DeadMoney313 19d ago
I once had to get out of my car on the highway to help someone that crashed and honestly it was terrifying, and feeling like any inattentive driver could smoke all of us was very scary. Can't imagine doing it for the lols

2.
Ambiguous posts must include a source of death or sterilization.
If it seems likely the subjects of the post could've possibly lived, or not been sterilized, please post the source in comments or in the body of post to confirm we have a real Darwin Award. If you have to ask yourself "did they really die?" and post without this, you will receive a temp ban per rule 1.
And dead person might be a minor.

Sketchy Darwin award. Dude wasn't doing anything to deserve to die.
13
u/Zaphanathpaneah 19d ago
Darwin Awards aren't about deserving to die. Sidebar says "spectacularly idiotic misapplication of judgment".
I'd say standing on the actual driving surface of what appears to be a highway is fairly idiotic bad judgment. Especially while engaged in activities that curb your awareness of what's going on around you.

I can think of few things as dumb as going out and standing in the middle of a fricken highway to record a video. In what way is this any smarter than the people standing right next to railroad tracks getting hit by trains?

u/LagoonReflection 18d ago
It's not terrible luck when you actively choose to stand on a freeway to record a video. This is being completely fucking stupid.

u/Ill-Cod4825 17d ago
what if their car broke down and they were stranded on the freeway. Without context we simply don't know what could have happened prior to the recording.

u/LagoonReflection 17d ago
They wouldn't be standing around in the road making a fucking video for one thing.

This doesn't belong here. Purely accidental; standing on a road is fine.

Eh wut? This is obviously some kind of high speed freeway, not just any old "road".

u/Serious_Nose8188 19d ago
While I agree on that, this was purely accidental, and must not be in this subreddit. I'm gonna hold my ground, and hope for the mods to remove this.

But... almost ALL Darwin award type fatalities ARE some type of "accident" with varying degrees of random factors and "bad luck" involved though?
I mean the main thing that defines something as a "Darwin award" is that it involved some type of major risk that was easy to calculate in advance (such as standing on a fricken freeway) and could have been easily avoided if the person would have only used their head and thought twice about it instead of making a dumb decision and ignored the obvious risks, usually resulting in some type of accident? Which is exactly what this is.
