Which way do you wanna die?



Not the type of photo you'd expect from a title like that, yeah?

"Dumb Ways To Die" is the latest viral video today!

If you haven't seen it yet, check it out inside!




Don't you just feel warm and fuzzy inside?

A little bit about this video. At the end, you are told that it is a message from Metro.  

"Be safe from trains", the video says.

It is actually an Australian transport safety campaign! The PSA has gotten almost 14 million views in just a week and counting!

Melbourne Metro Trains' video is titled "Dumb Ways To Die" and has been circulating the net via social media sites like crazy.

But who wouldn't share this 3 minute video of colorful creatures (?) killing themselves in the dumbest of ways, singing along to a tune that is (un)fortunately stuck in my head?



In the last verse, the song says that the "dumbest ways to die" are when you're standing on the edge of a platform, driving through level crossing gates and running across train tracks. This is where the transport safety message comes in.

I don't know if this would apply in Davao but... I guess it could also teach you to not stand too close to roads, especially when you're listening to music using earphones. Trust me, I've had near-death experiences because of that but I'm a ninja, so it's okay. (I'm just kidding.)

So, anyways, what's your favorite dumb way to die? I know it's a dumb question, but it's fun.

Leave your answer below! You can also create your own dumb way and let's see how creative you can get!
