Death may be inevitable, but very few people go out like this. From cartoonishly tragic, to macabrely ironic, these are the 7 most bizarre ways to die.
Slipping on a Banana Peel
Might sound like something out of a 1950s cartoon, but Bobby Leach tripped, and died, on a banana peel. Leach was the first person to survive a barrel ride down Niagara Falls, but apparently he couldn’t survive the dangers of disposed fruit.
When Unbreakable Glass is Breakable
Garry Hoy thought that the glass on the 24th floor of the Toronto-Dominion Center was unbreakable. Hoy was so sure of the fact that he decided to prove it to some friends. Hoy threw himself against the glass, and when it broke, he fell 24 stories to his death.

A lawyer, Clement Laird Vallandigham, was trying to get his client off of murder charges by showing that the victim could have accidentally shot himself. During his demonstration Vallandigham accidentally shot himself and died. The good news, his client was found not guilty.
