#12. Franz Reichelt. Tried to use a parachute coat in 1912.

There is a video of this on YouTube (honest). You can tell he was afraid to jump, but his handlers kept telling him it was too late to back out.

So all the way down, when he knew he was going to die, at least he had the satisfaction of being able to yell "I told you so!"

Henry Taylor

Crushed by a coffin in 1872

Taylor was a hired pall bearer and was working a funeral. He slipped on a rock and stumbled into an open grave. The rest of the bearers were so startled, they dropped the coffin on him.
