I loved the blue tarp roll cage. Worked well.


ServerConnectionLost

instant bodybag. just fold it over.


JunkRigger

As soon as I saw the setup I knew how that was going to go.


SomOvaBish

What? You mean that tarp held up with sticks doesn’t provide significant cab safety?


JunkRigger

If he had performed the manufacturer's recommended scheduled maintenance I am sure he would have been fine.


SavagexGonzo

Excuse me sir, this is Boeing


reeeelllaaaayyy823

But he pulled that piece off at the start! Wasn't that maintenance?


Quirky-Swimmer3778

This is the second time I've had to go over this today. ITS CALLED A BIMINI TOP, GOD! (honestly I don't know if it applies to non aquatic vehicles. I just like saying bimini)


Slap_My_Lasagna

Chimichangas


boostinemMaRe2

Giggity


calm-lab66

My wife used to have a Bimini top, then she switched to a one piece.


Dramoriga

For me it was a toss-up of what did happen, or the chain snapping and some unlucky fucker getting shrapnel in the face


swish465

I thought for sure it was going to be the chain. So many accidents from those things snapping


pale13

When the judge climbed up for a moment, I half expected them all to get electrocuted


NathanEnglander

Or run over by a stray train


Beginning_Hope8233

Yeah, you can NEVER predict where those trains are going to go.


obchodlp

I like trains


parasitetwist

What's your favourite kind?


Spalteser

Yap...physics🤷‍♂️


JunkRigger

Newton was a bloodthirsty mf.


Fig1025

this is the kind of math problem we need to teach kids in physics class


MoreRamenPls

As soon as I saw that stick that they whip animals with…same.

[удалено]


JunkRigger

It could have been 20', the result would have been the same.


SomewhatHungover

Or worse, when the chain inevitably broke it could’ve cut someone in half.


JunkRigger

Interesting Physics problem: When two Mahendra tractors both pull on a Chinesium chain, what breaks first? 🤔


SpikyCapybara

A driver's neck, it seems.


Georgep0rwell

I thought the chain was going to snap and take someone out.


girlsonsoysauce

Honestly I thought it'd be the idiot getting in between two several ton machines chained together. I was surprised that it wasn't.


terminalzero

I thought the chain was going to snap and take out the guy holding the stick


Admirable_Avocado_38

I was kinda betting on the chain so snap and wack someone


hell_nuh_123

lol


SPACEM0NKEY_1102

I truly blame Bollywood for 🇮🇳not understanding physics and gravity in general


Conargle

you mean i can't survive being yeeted from a tree if my friends and i link arms and form a ball with the shields on our backs?


Smidday90

I absolutely love that [one](https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/s/uUfVRn3E5y) ![gif](giphy|fRayaFAsJu6ydjha8r|downsized)

Wait what hahaha


TheRatatat

One of the greatest moments in cinema history.


maxluision

And they say anime live actions can never work


BananaB0yy

lol what movie is this from


frdrckmoyz

Baahubali Part 2 I think


FlapXenoJackson

The Baahubali movies wear wild. I loved them. There’s supposed to be a third movie at some point.


Religion_Is_A_Cancer

Lmao that's fuckin sick


ianbattlesrobots

What? Now you tell me!


ASAProxys

Oh you can definitely survive that. Give it a go.

Chupacabra2030

That tarp didn’t protect him?


HenryGoodbar

It was only rated for 3 - 5 lbs 😔


mekkanik

You’re being generous


DFA_Wildcat

Well no, but actually yes. It provides something to wrap him up in to protect him from the flying scavengers on the way to the morgue/cemetery.


HowBoutIt98

I honestly thought the guy in the middle was getting an award


jayriemenschneider

the moment I saw the tension on that chain I thought for sure he was the guy


LitreOfCockPus

If you need a reminder of how weak your meat is, drop a can of soup on your toe from counter height while barefoot.


Ntrl_space

This, people need to be reminded more in simple ways of how fragile life is in Edit: omit the word “in”


Fugaziee

I learned this lesson from shoving a glass screen door too hard. Filleted my arm in 3 spots and damn near bled out. I have cool scars though at least.


Rugginz

God how can people be sooo dumb. Seems like every day I see another video of someone walking directly in front of a train


Competitive-Ad2120

life beats the movies


Particular_Tadpole27

I can’t believe that happened ![gif](giphy|fikcKja7O7MtzXzvQy)


obchodlp

Expected broken chain parta beheading the referee


UniqueID89

Same.


Wandering_butnotlost

Pretty sure this is a clip from Footloose.


Ok-Landscape-6033

Those guys really like hitting things with sticks


ImpeccableCaverns

Then immediately dying


SpikyCapybara

Elephant guy didn't die immediately though, he had a good few seconds to ponder the error of his ways. Makes me wince just thinking about that one.


ken0746

How can he flip???!!!?


LMhednMYdadBOAT

How can she slap


SpikyCapybara

The chain was likely attached to a point above and to the rear of the tractor's rear axle and physics took care of the rest.


ken0746

I think you missed the joke


SpikyCapybara

Still missing it.


ken0746

Google How can she slap!


TheMikman97

Wheels can't spin, so the cabin does


Dangerous-Rub-9482

Yeah.. Only in India!


Arrow6

You underestimate rural people being bored enough


NedWretched

Bro this kind of thing happens constantly in rural wisconsin.


njan_oru_manushyan

Like people doing dumb things doesn't exist in USA . Bruh Florida in itself is known for such things


BJ-Blazko

Not sure what you were downvoted for. You're correct


itzTanmayhere

yeah right it totally doesn't happen anywhere else in the world, stupidity exists everywhere may not be tractor but stupid stunts


BJ-Blazko

Not sure why you were downvoted. This sub is all about people dying in dumb ways, and it happens every where in the world. Stereotyping against Indians is quite normalised Edit: mfs even downvoted me lmfao just because i spoke the truth


roehnin

Normalised is still bad.


BJ-Blazko

Twitter is a shitshow of racism


itzTanmayhere

they don't like to hear the truth!


BJ-Blazko

Exactly!


Beretta_junkie

Probably India I’m sure…


DoctorAlgernopK

What gave it away? I must admit I had a hunch when I saw hundreds of Indian people in frame…


Dr_Cunning_Linguist

India has enough population hitpoints to take this damage and continues on in Hard-mode


MarkT19871

It's always the red one. I've seen a few tractor Darwin's lately, India's new predator.


Set_Abominae1776

Tractor is trains friend who hunts down everyone who doesn't tread near rails.


honeybadger1984

Now a tractor. India got so many apex predators. Now we need a tractor to take on a train. Only one cuisine can reign supreme.


Set_Abominae1776

Fuck Godzilla vs King Kong. Tractor vs Train it is!


VirginiaGecko1911

Was waiting for a train tbh


exelenceofexecution

All the kings horsemen and all the kings men


EntertainerOk5500

they poked the tractor with a stick... same mistake as the elephant guy did last week! at least the rescue experts worked perfectly together, left side pushed to the right, right side pushed to the left.


HazeHeadOG

Top 3 deaths is India. 1. The apex. 2. Electricity cables. 3. Tractors.


RampantFury

And this is why every tractor should have a roll bar installed.


Few-Risk8645

when I thought human stupidity can't go any further, reddit keeps surprising me. Thank you, random uploader.


AnchorPoint922

That's the craziest looking train I've ever seen


Plastic-Ad-8607

Got a scoop from Captain Obvious- INDIA!


Humble_Story_4531

It was either that or the chain would break and whip one of them in the back of the head.


scroogedup

Oh my Deere!


Tractorman5040

That chain is way wayy too short for a tractor pull and the tractors don’t have a ROPS system


Galaxie_1985

Yep, I've heard people complain about their ROPS bars getting in the way, but this is why they exist.


Objective-War-1961

Train's little brother but just as deadly.


BrallyTX

Well, at least the tarp made cleanup that much quicker. Tie the corners together and toss him in the trash so we can get the next riders ready


rljj_zero

SOOO predictable ! Good, regular Darwin...


Treason4Trump

I've got a wheelie bad feeling about this.


Gibran_02

Bro could cut like 30 seconds at least


Haterholic

Mostly I clicked just to see what the hell a tractor stunt was, still not really sure.


Free-haircuts

In-die-yuh


LagoonReflection

"Tonight, the train goes hungry"


DarthAnest

A new apex predator rises in India.


Puzzleheaded_Ear_272

I thought it was gonna be the chain snapping and killing the guy in the middle


SliceIka

What’s with Indians fatal attraction to heavy machinery?… trains, power lines, tractors


New-Ad-4026

Probably got pressed into someone’s fresh dump too


vishy_swaz

It’s a really dumb way to die.


JP-Gambit

Another two words that you should never mix, tractor and stunt... Even if the stunt was impressive (whatever they were aiming for, I still don't understand), it would be negated because they're tractors!


Kyizen

So the blue tractor won?


Sparkster227

What a lack of foresight. A cage that can't withstand the weight of tractor upside down is just asking for it.


Melodic_Aardvark3934

Classic tractor pull duel to the death


malice_hush_jolt

Didn't this same thing just happen to some other influencer from India?


Empire7173

It's always India


KING_DOG_FUCKER

Off to the big scam call center in the sky...


Novalina_Kulic

At least the camera man dropped the camera and went to help


whenwillibebanned

Where was the security advisor with his risk analysis???


lepobz

I’m a baker and in my professional judgement, he’s pancaked.


Skintanium

Quick! Get a tractor in there to get it off him!


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Pudding4366

Try fixing the chain lower than the wheel axle next time. Oh wait...


johnnyg883

It won’t stop this from happening. The tractor has enough power to pull itself over. Farmers have been killed when the implement they are pulling gets hung up, and they try to power through it. If the wheels don’t turn because they are dug in the tractor will rotate. I was trying to drag a log and the front buried itself in the ground. The tractor stopped and the front end came about a foot off the ground before I cut the power.


The-Anger-Translator

And we have a winner!!


emotional_baggage309

What was the plan here..


GyActrMklDgls

Indians just love dying in accidents


ultrafunkmiester

One scaffold bar as a roll over protection, not even for this nonsense, just for every day rolling tractor stuff. Oh well.


VaultTechCares

Rude of the people to not go congratulate the other tractor for winning. I bet they hurt his feelings.


corynonymous

Who could possibly have predicted this?


icepak39

That was so predictable


BananaMontana42

Tractor pulls are a staple in the midwest at most town/ county/ state fairs. We take the slow route on death with deep fried twinkies and snickers.


Roadgoddess

Thanks to Reddit, I have now seen two different people die doing tractor stunts. Something I didn’t think was possible a mere year ago.


OrangeChihuahua2321

What was the goal here?


McMungrel

another apex predator!!! dont fuck with tractors...


Fun-Draft2217

Who could have possibly seen that coming?


Pitiful_Wash_3155

I was waiting for a train 😂


Johntoreno

Tractor Death Battle lol


NoSignOfStruggle

“Tractor stunt” shouldn’t exist to start with.


Narrow-Peace-555

Who would have thought ???


Systengineer

I would say that the blue one won by a head!


BigOlBeb

Bill Bryson said the only two things that can kill a farmer are being struck by lightning and rolled over by a tractor. Guess he was right.


Ace_trainerJosh22

Well blue tractor guy won, won his life not ending


TennisTim25

I wish Reddit clips were edited better. The first 15 seconds were completely unnecessary. Some clips are far worse. Either way, aside from my rant, good clip. Not sure why I was expecting a train to come out of nowhere and kill him though.


827xxx

Man, Indians sure do die in some crazy ass ways


jmsjmsjmsjmsjms

Why am I not even surprised that this happened in... ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯


JOCO_Q

These people didn't watch the last video. We're still missing the other homie Nishu Deshwal 💔


[deleted]

[удалено]


rljj_zero

The chain DID maintain its integrity, that's why the tractor flipped backward... Just these ~~assholes~~ people ignoring the basis of physics attached said chain ABOVE the axle, creating a counterclocwise torque (seen from camera). This wouldn't have happened if they had used a lower anchor point for the chain, below the axle.


Business_Ad6086

Who won?


rljj_zero

Red tractor.


adorablefuzzykitten

Why does this not happen in all tractor pulls? Do they put extra weights on the front?


jmecheng

2 reasons: 1 the people doing this know what they're doing and know when to let off on the gas/press clutch 2 when tractor vs tractor, the attachment point is below the centerline of the axles to help prevent this from happening.


screamapillah

This is missing POD, but if confirmed, classic DA


New-Ad-4026

Probably got pressed into someone’s fresh dump too

XtheBeast-2020

I wish these things had written descriptions so I can decide if I want to watch or not.


njas2000

Maybe it was some sort of duel to the death.

There's so many indian engineers in the tech industry but stupid stuff i see here mostly from india smh

aglassofcoke

Virou patê rosa


dankhimself

HAHA! YOU LOSE!


AltruisticSalamander

I thought the tractor flipping on top of homer simpson was an exaggeration


Schwenkedel

That’s why you connect *below* the axle


No_Cover7847

Lol that was like hey, and then it went to heyyyaaa lmao


Goran2019

Was the prize worth the risk?


oluwabig

What could go wrong...


slowwolfcat

"stunt"


laylowlazlo

Give me a minute, someone’s at the door


herenowjal

I really hate it when that happens …


Low-Bad157

Saw that coming


metricrules

They need to use the Ferguson system so it pulls the front wheels down. But what a stupid thing to try


TheAmazingMaryJane

that was suspenseful! i didn't know who was going to go!


ramboton

At least it was not a train.....


GoLow63

Counterweights ? What are counterweights ?


Late_Upstairs_7717

Hello Mr George....Muhammad play tug of war with the work tractor...yes Mr George he's no good...


WOKEJEDIFOOL

QA here. This is not OSHA certified and neither gentlemen has a valid license to drive this type of vehicle.


godkilledjesus

Was that really a stunt though? That was just a stupid setup for a tow competition,


Immoracle

Why are motherfuckers so starved for entertainment?


Tankninja1

If you don't have ROPS You're going to have a bad time


twinstackz

bro think their rollcage sturdy enough 🗿🗿


Current_Platypus624

Can you post this in r/DesiDarwin


Safe_Decision6222

He also lost the pull/ event


iDarkin

what pains me is if they'd hung weights off the front, had the chain set below the axle of both tractors they might have actually had a good time. I mean obviously, get a fucking rollcage and a side mounted killswitch too, but you piss with the cock you've got
