We know that death is inevitable, but some people really make you wonder what the heck they were thinking.

There are some really bizarre and dumb ways to die out there.

So, without further ado, here are the top 5 dumbest ways to die:

#1 By Vending Machine:

You know those snack dispensers that you see in malls and public places?

They may seem harmless, but they’re actually responsible for a shocking number of deaths every year.

People have been killed by falling vending machines while trying to shake loose a stubborn snack.

Imagine that a bag of chips is worth risking your life for.

#2 By Taking Selfies:

We all love taking selfies.

But sometimes that love for the camera can be deadly.

Every year, there are reports of people falling off cliffs or getting hit by trains while trying to snap the perfect shot.

And for what?

A few extra likes on Instagram?

Is it worth risking your life?

#3 By Choking on Food:

Eating is one of life’s great pleasures, but it’s also a common cause of death.

Choking on food is a real risk, especially when you’re not paying attention to what you’re eating.

There’s nothing quite like a good steak, but it’s not worth dying over.

#4 By Mattress:

Who knew that your bed could be a potential murder weapon?

It turns out that falling asleep with your head under the covers is a really bad idea.

Every year, several people suffocate to death because they don’t have proper ventilation in their sleeping area.

Don’t let your mattress be the last thing you ever see.

#5 By Stupidity:

Finally, we have the ultimate sacrifice.

This includes everything from trying to fly off a building with an umbrella to testing out poisonous berries just to see what happens.

These people may not have meant to die, but their reckless behavior ultimately led to their demise.

Darwin would have had a field day with these folks.
