20 Signs You May Be About to Die
I recall reading about an obscure native culture in which the concept of death is fluid rather than fixed. You might be “dead” (somewhat sick), “very dead” (extremely ill) or “completely dead” (actually deceased) according to their terminology. The following 20 funny photos have been organized by these darkly funny and fatalistic categories! Believe it or not, the image above is completely real - the photograph was taken in Lysefjorden, Norway.
Dead (aka Somewhat Sick): The above victims may survive their ordeals but will certainly have some scars an bruises to show for them. A shark bite here, broken nose there and a few gore marks later these traumatized sports players, spectators and commuters all have priceless photos to document their near-death experiences.
Very Dead (Extremely Ill): The top set of photos, while completely unretouched via Photoshop, was of course staged. A French photographer hired hip-hop dancers to jump and appear to be falling on the sidestreets of France. The latter group of images, though, depict dizzying near-death automotive accidents. How do you suppose that last guy got out in time?!
Completely Dead (Actually Deceased): While nothing is sure in life, everything is certain in death and few of the above-featured individuals seem likely to make it out alive. To be fair, a few from this last category have ‘gone under the knife’ so to speak and become victims of Photoshop (good news for the ‘victims’ they feature), though they are nonetheless entertaining after their digital ’surgery’!

many of those photographs are deceiving. the one with the “shark” isn’t actually a shark, its a dolphin, which means he’s not dead at all, but experiencing a rare sight — a dolphin that close. the bull one was taken with a robotic camera, so no one was actually harmed. i believe that the log one and the one with the shadow of a crane on a gorge are also photoshopped, but i have no proof. you can learn more about the shark and the bull at snopes.com.
also, fluid death is stupid.

Actually, the one with the log is from Final Destination 2.
Best accident ever on film!
Proof is simple. Rent the film, watch for LITERALLY 2 minutes and you’ll see this scene.
If you’ll lie to us about one photo, why should I believe any of them?

The only pics that show actual danger to anyone are the photos with the vehicles hanging precariously off of buildings or bridges. The golf ball would hit whatever camera was being used to take the shot and leave the cameraman unharmed. The rest are all just stupid or photoshopped. Nice premise but poor execution. D-

Most of these are faked with a few real ones added in.
Very poor show… 3/10.

Do you people actually READ or just look at the pictures?

I can’t believe the number of people who comment on a web page without reading it. He says that the last set are photoshopped, but that they are entertaining nonetheless.

Nice set, very amusing.
The “fluid concept of death” probably comes from the pigeon English spoken as a lingua franca in Papua New Guinea and called Tok Pisin. The verb kilim can mean to hit, knock someone out to kill.
“Mi kilim” (me kill him) means I hit him.
“Mi kilim i dai” (me kill him he die) means I hit him and he was unconscious.
“Mi kilim i dai pinis” (me kill him he die finish) means I hit him and he died.
I has been a while since I used Tok Pisin so if I have made an error, please correct me.
