A list you don’t want to be on

The wikipedia has so much useful information, including this list of unusual deaths.  Both gruesome and tragic, the list runs from antiquity to present day.  I imagine it will continue to grow until the internets no longer exist.  I wonder what percentage of Darwin award winners make this list as well.
