15 Deaths That Could’ve Been Avoided With Common Sense

6. Head Out The Window

This is a classic tale that no one ever cites a specific story for. Kids are simply taught to keep their hands and heads in vehicles at all times. Well, here’s a story readers can now cite when instructing kids on how not to have a severe case of death. This young girl in Brazil was at least old enough to know better here, but she’s unfortunately made this article, so one can assume she ignored her better judgement. At fourteen years old, this girl, who had been previously suspended and shouldn’t have been on the bus to begin with, did that perilous deed that all adults warn against. Sticking her head out the window, into the narrow streets of Serra, Brazil, this young lady discovered why people are warned against such activities. Contacting a utility pole, the girl did most certainly not make it. So again, kids, listen to your parents and teachers when they tell you to keep your hands and heads inside the vehicle at all times!
5. Wild Elephant Selfie

Yeah, ok, so taking pictures of elephants is most certainly acceptable. Taking selfies on safari, also acceptable. Taking selfies while right up close to wild elephant… results in the removal of one’s genes from the pool. So, in Kenya, two men went out to a wild elephant, and began taking selfies. Going so far as touching the elephant’s face while taking the photos, the two didn’t seem to anticipate how the elephant might feel. Understandably, the elephant was none too happy, and proceeded to trample the two men to death. Seemingly the elephant either looked to hide its deeds or give the two men a burial of sorts, as it then covered the men in brush. This author would like to think that the elephant was being respectful to two men who were to daft to respect the elephant. Regardless, one should treat wild elephants the way they treat lions. One would like to presume that these two selfie-takers wouldn’t stroll up to a lion to snap some shots, so learn from them, and don’t bother the elephants either. They may not eat people, but that doesn’t mean they won’t get pissed off.
