Episode Details

Of all the ways people throughout history have died while mining, todays will probably be the most “impactful”. We all want episodes that stretch the boundaries of what a vehicle accident can look like, and today fits that bill nicely. In advance, let me just say, you'll be better off taking the stairs when you've finished this story. 

On this episode: we recounts the most statistically-unlikely disaster in history, complete with TWO Safety Sections (I believe that is a first in our podcast's history), but you’ll also hear about people referred to as "gravy without lumps", and flesh described as "scattered". You’ll also hear about two Guinness World Records, and a celebrity cameo from Nelson Mandela himself. You’ll also learn the best possible way to survive a hypothetical free fall in an elevator, and one of those Safety Sections covers panic attacks. You know it's a bad day when we have to break out advice for panic attacks for the first time. 

It's always good to remind ourselves how much time we spend or waste worrying about your odds of dying from the random things. We always worry about the wrong things. Vending machines are more likely to kill you than sharks, and today's episode introduces a new danger you may not have worried about before, and I admit I'll be kind of implicit in unlocking it as a new fear.

THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone.
 
I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you. If you'd like to support the show at Buy Me A Coffee, or join the club over at Patreon for AD-FREE EPISODES, LONGER EPISODES, EXTRA CONTENT, all that good stuff (I’m truly sorry about those ads, they're not in my control)
