Ah, people are dumb.

So dumb that many accidentally remove themselves from the gene pool

in the most idiotic ways possible.

With that said, let's get right to the good stuff

and take a look at even more Darwin award winners

and people who ended themselves in the dumbest ways imaginable.

You're listening.

You're listening to be amazed. Moving a mattress is no easy task. With the average mattress weighing up to 150 pounds and being pretty bulky, they need to be well strapped down with being transported on top of a van or car.

This is kind of obviously to stop the wind catching them and tearing them off.

Although this is some pretty basic thinking that didn't occur to a certain 20-year-old

woman back in 2016.

She and her friend were trying to transport a mattress, but the thing was too big to fit in their van.

Their solution?

One would ride on top of the mattress, pinning it to the roof of the van, while the other drove.

What could possibly go wrong?

A lot, it turned out.

Unaware of how the laws of motion worked and massively overestimating the mattress surfer's strength,

the whole thing flipped off as soon as the driver put their foot on the gas.

The mattress hit the road, and so did our unlucky lady.

I'm happy to say the mattress bounced back.

Our mattress surfer, on the other hand, didn't.

Road rage ain't no joke,
