* "U.P.F'd.": A terrorist sends a box full of anthrax to a judge, but then a porch pirate steals the box, and dies from anthrax. Thanks to him, the terrorist who sent the box has likely gotten off scot-free.

However, the segment ends with a scene of Julie screaming in fear upon returning to a dead Peter and the bear in their tent before the bear roars at her, implying it will maul her as well.

* The show took creative liberties to make a lot of its victims (aside from the ones that were just stupid) [[AssholeVictim assholes]] so we wouldn't feel sad they died in horrible ways. This means a lot of the people who died in the real freak accidents these segments were based on probably weren't deserving of it, but normal Joes like you or I who just had bad luck.
** Confirmed in at least one case: the JerkAss gym teacher killed by a javelin in "Dead Eye" was, in reality, a private school teacher and [[https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Widow+urges+school+javelin+ban+after+freak+death+of+games+master.-a061851774 a married father of two]], and was well-liked by his students and colleagues. He also died after a month-long coma, when the infection from the wound spread to his chest cavity. (Yes, the real-life case was actually ''worse'' than what was presented on the show.)
* All of the bystanders to the deaths, even if the person who died was an asshole, are very clearly traumatized by what they witness. Who knows how much PTSD they will have to suffer through in the rest of their lives?

* "Coffin to Death" features a rock band whose lead singer Tinaka and lead guitarist Basho have been feuding constantly, both wanting to be the face of the band. For their next live performance, Tinaka decides to get into a coffin full of dry ice vapor, have the stage hands bring the coffin out onto the stage, and then make his grand entrance. But then, Basho sits on the coffin lid and plays an extra-long guitar solo, and Tinaka suffocates and dies. Given all of his knowledge and actions in this segment, Basho could easily be convicted of manslaughter, and quite possibly murder.

* In "Lady & The Trampled", a douchebag biker strips a dancer's bra off her at a bar. After he gets kicked to the ground by another dancer, his biker friends rush to see the topless dancer, thanking the douchebag by carelessly trampling him to death. Unfortunately, it seems that the drunk, horny bikers with dubious morals have cornered the dancers. Who knows what they'll do to them?
** If it's any assurance, all they're doing is cheering and jeering, but not physically touching them like the douchebag; the narrator makes it sound like he crossed a line even the other bikers wouldn't. A few other women are seen rushing in, seemingly concerned, and at least one of the dancers knows how to defend herself. And the douchebag's death might cause a welcome distraction.
