Hydrogen. It was 1900s before the first reliable way to separate helium was developed. Hydrogen is much easier. Unfortunately... It is also very good at releasing energy as an explosion.
Name: Charles Stephens Year of Death: 1920 Occupation: Barber and Professional Daredevil and Stuntman Method of Death: "Well I was at Horseshoe Falls, and I was ready to go over the falls in my barrel. Now my advisers Bobby Leach and William "Red" Hill Sr. had warned me to test my barrel first before attempting it. Don't be ridiculous I said, the safety strap and my anvil keep me safe! I strapped myself in, tied the anvil to my feet, and went over the falls in my barrel! The anvil dragged me out, severed my right arm, dragged me under the falls, and I died. Yes I was first person to die attempting to go over Niagara Falls (yes Horseshoe Falls is a part of Niagara Falls) and I got a Darwin Award."
Hydrogen was already produced back then in enough quantity for a Balloon? Because if not, then the firework simply burned out the Balloon material and she fell like a stone to the ground.
There were both hydrogen, and hot air balloons for quite a while. Hydrogen was produced chemically from coal gas or with metals and acids. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_gas en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_hydrogen_technologies
Actually, hydrogen gas was the main lifting gas. Helium is harder to make. It is why the Germans modified the Hindenburg after the US cancelled any sales of helium. Woops.
@@leechowning2712 There was also airship R101 which went up in flames cuz of being filled with hydrogen. The Hindenburg was just the last straw as far as airship travel was concerned.
Name? Scotty. Method of death? Well, I gathered copies of movies I absolutely despised. Ttgttm, Halloween 2018, the TT vs ttg crossover, Sonic the hedgehog, pretty much any movie people liked that I didn't. I poured gas on them in order to burn them. Death: and then? I accidentally got gas on my pants and when I lit the movie pile on fire... The fire spread to me and I burned to death.
You-I-?! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAS oo hey that wasn't a *bright* idea HAHAAHA GET IT?! BRIGHT?! get it? Because fire is bright? Please your self You're through to the afterlife

He should do the bishop sewed up in the bear skin and the priest killed by Caligula hitting him with a hammer and sacrificed him instead of the bull they were going to kill.
If I was dead and I ended up on the show in this segment I would honoured although I would be embarrassed because that means I went out in a stupid way.
I'm sorry but some deaths are too stupid not to laugh at. I'm sure they all now see the funny side of it. In Argentina, in the 90s, a poodle fell from a balcony on a poor man who was passing and killed him. I'm sure this is where he ended up! 🤣
hearing Death on helium has to be one of the funniest parts of Stupid Deaths.
1:01
Letting the balloon off and saying "that was the balloon" is fantastic
I've learned more from this channel than I have from 12 years of school
Same and I have a BA
@@ABAlphaBeta it is a very useful channel, then
Most schools are crap to be fair... and it was the same for me. Most of my knowledge came from self-study.
Same
Me too
I laughed so hard at the helium balloon bit
Death on helium is something I didn't know I needed.
Hydrogen. It was 1900s before the first reliable way to separate helium was developed. Hydrogen is much easier. Unfortunately... It is also very good at releasing energy as an explosion.
If you inhale too much from a pressurized helium tank yes, not so much from a ballon.
People have died before, when they inhaled too much helium from a balloon, so they could sound high-pitched.
0:37 I died. Madame Blancha-ha-ha-ha-hard! 😂😂😂
1:01-1:10. I love this guy
The helium bit tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I cant stop watching it
Her death ballooned all out of proportion.
Underrated comment

If this was part of a try not to laugh challenge I'd lose to the helium section I'd giggle every time they get to the part , it is brilliant and funny

Yeah...which is basically what she implies here!
If 1000 ways to die were to cross over into the UK Simon Farnaby would be the PERFECT narrator maybe even better than Ron Perlman lol
I'd love to have his job.
Love love

NEVER set off fireworks in a balloon! It will end badly!
What season and what episode I forgotten now
Death is really Simon Farnaby in a blonde wig and corpse paint.
This video is funny

I feel like the people mentioned in here would be very offended. That’s not respecting the dead. No hate agains HH, I love it!
To be fair they did die in rather stupid ways
That’s the point of HH - poking fun at silly and depressing history.
They should have thought of it
If I was dead and I ended up on the show in this segment I would honoured although I would be embarrassed because that means I went out in a stupid way.
