Why it worked

Product placement

LADBible: (a) it APPEARS — a corner watermark, a channel or studio logo, an end card, a credit, a name on clothing, a repost stamp. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Transcript

The most unusual ways to die. Here's the thing. When an elevator door opens, there's a slight, slight chance that that elevator will suddenly drop. And if you happen to step into the elevator at the critical moment and it drops, you're going to be compressed horribly. And it's happened and it is an awful, awful thing. I would say it's generally death by misadventure. Things like subway surfing, riding on the a subway car as it speeds tunnel full of steel projections and wires and things that are guaranteed to head off. So yeah, those are unusual.
