It should be called Dumb and Dumber Adventures

[deleted]

Unless you've been in such situations as these people have been in, you have NO right to be calling anyone dumb.

A man does not recover from such a devotion of the heart to such a woman!

thats a little harsh most of the ones Ive seen have been unfortunate accidents that led to their circumstances.

Just watched the ep where the older couple got stranded in the remote desert all because they decided they decided it would be a smart idea to test out the husbands truck on the extremely rocky terrain to "see what it could". Like seriously you're old, out in the middle of the dessert, no one knows you're out there, you have no food and water, and no cell phone service wtf were you thinking?

I so agree. I've been watching this show for years, but even more so lately since I discovered there's a few seasons on netflix.

It's so frustrating to watch people make terrible decisions. They get themselves into trouble with poor decision making... then they some how manage to make it even worse once they're already in a rough spot with even more stupid moves. Also more than just being "dumb"... a lot of the people on this show have too much pride which contributes to their near death situations. I couldn't believe the one teenager who PUNCHED A BEAR IN THE FACE. He had already gotten himself in trouble by wandering away from his hunting party and getting lost... he was already brutally attacked by the bear. When the bear stopped... he PUNCHED IT!? like... SERIOUSLY? I can not type enough words in capital letters to properly convey how flabbergasted I was at such a stupid act. If he would have played dead instead of trying to get revenge by throwing a punch, the bear wouldn't have proceeded to rip off half his leg and causing his situation to become exponentially worse.


The Palm Springs hikers are another example of being full of pride along with being full of dumb. They're trying to impress eachother while making poorly thought out decisions. "oh hey, we walked only 10 minutes away from the summit of the mountain and we're lost. what makes more sense? trying to get back up? since we already know for sure there's a way to get back there somewhere since we walked it already? naaaah lets venture down the 90% of the mountain we haven't trekked and see what happens!" I couldn't believe that their reasoning to head down instead of up was because they saw a stream and apparently in their world, streams always safely lead you down a mountain with absolutely no valleys or waterfalls in the way. These people were good hearted, but lacked common sense. It was very cool though how they got help from a deceased hiker before them... that was a very interesting touch to their story and it's crazy how everything came full circle in terms of dates and situations.

Like people have said previously, the only episode that didn't consist of somebody doing something completely irresponsible to get themselves in the situation was the skydiver. He did everything to take control of a terrible situation, and it worked. You could tell by his recounting of events that his thought process during the events was responsible and not reckless. He was very eloquent with the retelling of his story too. One of the best episodes I've seen. Also another episode that didn't make me facepalm multiple times was the ones with the hikers in Kyrgyzstan. They actually had a satellite phone and were properly prepared for survival. It was just completely awful luck that their rescue helicopter crashed... I mean... that's really something. That's what really made their situation dire and helpless. But thankfully most of them made it out alive. I guess maybe the lesson there is that patience is a virtue... they had the option to go on the military snowmobiles but opted for the helicopter since they wanted to get home faster. But I guess you can't blame them really. The only really stupid thing was the local guides who decided to start drinking vodka after the plane crash. But that's just how things work in eastern Europe I guess lol. It's a good thing they weren't stranded for much longer after that because it certainly would have accelerated dehydration.
