Top 10 Inventions That Killed Their Inventors
The life of an inventor is never an easy one. When someone has to come up with a unique idea that solves a problem in a way that no one has thought of before, and then you need to design and engineer your idea to take it from theory to reality.
This drive to discover the next Big Thing has been a boon to humanity and has given us inventions like the steam engine, the automobile and the personal computer. It's the major reason why we're still not huddled in caves fighting off wolves and cowering at the crack of thunder. Some invention had totally changed the lives of human beings and some pushed their inventor to death.
Here you will know:-
Ten inventions caused the death of their respective inventors. But fate did not give some time to reap the gains of their inventions and died at the hands of these inventions.

He will remember for his accidental death by jumping from the Eiffel Tower while testing a wearable parachute design by his own. Reichelt had become very keen on developing a suit for Piolets that would changed into a parachute. At first some experiments were conducted through dummies and had been successful. So he decided to run his own experience, but during the experiment and in when jumping from the Eiffel Tower fell at a distance of 187 meters on the frozen ground, which claimed his life immediately.
3 - William Bullock, the inventor of the rotary printing machine:
Born in 1813, he developed the printing machine can spin and fitted with machine parts that revolutionized the world of printing, especially in the world of journalism where he contributed to the present invention to increase the efficiency of the printing and speed where he can this machine produce remixes of 12,000 newspaper at the pieces of paper after you print it, and during the an attempt to "William Bullock" reform failure in his first sewing machine where crushed inside the machine, causing injury to gangrene and amputation of his foot, and then compounded things until I got to death.
4 - Alexander Bjdnov dream of getting to eternal youth:

5 - Horace Lawson Hunley inventor of the submarine

7 - Marie Curie discovered radium rays:
Scientist Physics and Chemistry and leading science of radiation and was the first to obtain two Nobel Prizes in the world, where you got the first jointly with her husband the world, "Henry Berichael" in the field of physics, the discovery of racist polonium and radium, and honored to launch Korean name on the measurement of radioactivity, and the other in the field of chemistry, was killed on July 4, 1934 after being infected with the anemia Allatjanssa resulting from exposure to massive doses of radiation discovered radium, which is worth mentioning that prior to this incident, the scientists did not realize that the radiation has a harmful effect may lead to death.
8 - Henry and Anstly founder beacons ships

10 - Harry and Louis Dagelean Slutin
inventor of the Atomic Bomb
He worked all of Haredagelean, the U.S., and Lewis Slutin, Canadian, in the field of physics, and were working on the development of innovation atomic bomb, to cast each was killed while working on the development of this idea In 1945, died Dagelean following the explosion of the bomb during the conduct some tests it in his lab , where the wounded died of radioactive poisoning after just 25 days, the same way he died in Slutin, but only after 9 days of radiation poisoning in 1946.
This is an old story of a inventor who was deserve for its invention.
Perillos of Athens
Of all the inventors on this list, this guy may be the one who most deserved to die at the hand of his own invention. Perillos was a bronze worker who designed a device called the Brazen Bull to be used to painfully execute criminals. The Brazen Bull was a hollow bull. Prisoners were locked inside and roasted to death by a fire underneath. The device was even designed to channel the screams of the burning prisoner out of its nose to sound like a bull. Perillos pitched his invention to Phalaris, a tyrant lord of Acragas in Sicily. After Perillos showed Phalaris the bull, the inventor was put inside and a fire was lit underneath him. History isn't clear about if Perillos was pulled out before dying, only to be thrown off a cliff by Phalaris' men, or if he expired within the bull. Either way, the bull did him in.
