Yooo, long time no see! Just so you're updated, I've spent the last week in North Carolina, and I've filmed no less than 3 BIG videos that are all dropping this July 🔥 For more Tech Fails: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gXWjqn-cooN1lIk.html

Arun: "This product killed over a hundred people" Also Arun: "7 out of 10"

Samsung: tries to never mention the explosive galaxy, hoping everyone forgets about it Arun: releases a video annually mentioning the phone

Arun "this device can kill your baby 5/10"

Using a electric blanket while SLEEPING? That is madness...

I had one of those pacemakers. I kept asking about getting it updated, and my cardiologist kept telling me that I didn't need to update it. Evidently the update could stop your heart from beating for a certain amount of time, and they were worried about that with me, since I was (and still am) totally dependent on a machine to keep my heart pumping. It got replaced with a different model pacemaker because the battery was almost gone, so my tech is now updated, finally. :/

Arun: "This product destroyed the entirety of Earth" Also Arun: "6 out of 10 fail"

Any fail that caused death is a 10/10

Arun: there were 477 exploding baby monitors Also Arun: 5/10 fail Me: thats just 5/10 :(

Arun: '' this product was so terrible it gave random people a button to kill anyone they wanted with complete anonymity'' also Arun: '' 6/10 ''

“The developers of the SMTH app are actually the repair workers for the phones”

the peloton treadmill incident was a throwback. when i was a toddler, i stuck my hand under my father's treadmill while it was still running. at 25, i still have scars.

“Lawns darts” In Russia during USSR and some time after children used to play a game called “knives”. The idea was plain and simple: you throw a knife into a drawn circle on the ground and draw lines to the point where the knife landed to acquire field for yourself.

The treadmill tech reminds me how big of a responsibility a product creator takes upon before thinking to release the product in the market.

Arun: "This product is a nuclear bomb which destroyed the entire observable universe" Also Arun: "A solid 3.5 out of 10"

Ironically, the most violent version of manhunt 2 was on the family friendly wii. It was censored on the executions, but the motion control for the kills was next level.

13:54 that image is absolutely terrifying for some reason

The Abbott Pacemaker sounds like part of the game "Watchdogs", where you literally have to hack the big bad's pacemaker to kill him... Kinda scary that that actually was a real possibility at some point...

_"A kid was sucked under a treadmill and died"_ Arun: I'll give it 7 out of 10.

fun fact: i am using opera right now, unaware that it was a sponsor lol

Lithium batteries are a fire waiting to happen. I have had bulging batteries from Samsung, Nikon and Apple. If they had cracked then the damp air would have caused them to ignite! Half a ton of batteries in a BEV is very dangerous. Almost impossible to put the fire out.

Both Manhunt games created a bunch of controversy. I think the main reson for Manhunt 2 getting banned and censored was because you were supposed to swing your arms with the Wiimote in a way that was similar to killing someone. I did see some news report and the host looked shocked beyond belief. But then again most NEWS programs show videogames as the most dangerous device in your home.

I remember seeing the Nano all over the place. The problems you mentioned weren't it's only downsides tho, it wasn't the strongest from what I know. This one time, I was going back home from school in the school bus. This nano came in like a snail, rammed into us, our bus drove away and what I saw behind was the car with a dent so big. Like the whole front was curved inward lmao and the lady driving was just flabbergasted

Arun: "This product placed easily accessible, untraceable, highly dangerous nuclear weapons in the hands of millions" Also Arun: "This one gets a solid 5 out of 10"

Who immediately set out to find man hunt 2 just because its banned 😂

12:25 Arun really said “yeah one kid died from this treadmill, imma just give it a 7/10”

The smile Arun had while declaring "Now is when things get fatal". He is the one who would support the terminators, for the tech of it.

The focus on the outdoor shots is wildly tight, it's appealing and also making the shots feel tighter than they are.

The treadmill "fail" is just bad parenting. Kids can get hurt or possibly killed around lots of exercise equipment when left alone.

Man, I seriously love this series and the fact that you buy these failed products, steps thing up a notch.

Arun will never let any tech fail be forgotten by history hahah, cant wait for videos in july :)

My man started out the video rolling immediately; no fuss, no muss, we're at cruising speed already. Wished all content creators followed this example.

Love the fact that after your piece on Peloton, I got an ad for ... Peloton!!!

Samsung: Trying to pretend the exploding galaxy phone never happened. Arun: Releasing a video twice every year reminding the world of it.

9:11 grandma is ready, she’s holding a gun❗️👵 🔫

Can i buy the white house

Hey Arun! Love your content! The last part where you pointed your other videos and there was nothing behind can be added to your tech fail video list next time😂 Love you bro!

10:35 This is a common misconception. While part of the reason was the battery being too thin, the main issue was a manufacturing defect in the corner of most of the batteries at launch, which was a tiny dent in the top (left?) corner. This would cause the battery to eventually short out, as the dent caused both terminals to eventually touch each other. Most people's phones were exploding while fast charging, which was likely due to the increased power going through the battery, and lithium-ion batteries do not take well to being shorted out like that. Edit: Normally defects of that scale would be perfectly fine, and would never cause issues, but they made the battery too thin, meaning it shorted it out easier. Just wanted to clarify that.

13:40 (The dart) When I was 4, I got hit on my right eye by a similar one of those, but for my luck, it had a plastic point. I call luck because it didn't gouge my eye out but all else was an issue. It aggravated my eye sight with a real bad keratocon and even after a corneal transplant, the issue persists to this day (29 years later), making me being a slave for rigid lenses just to be able to properly see anything with my right eye.

That explosion at the top 10 led into an ad. CLEAN

Polaris has gotten worse, we got a stop a ride because the primary clutch can detonate. And the newest the 4 seater models can catch fire due to fuel lines routed wrong. I'm currently still driving mine tho.

You know that the 737 fail is bad when Arun updates the Theranos incident from a 10/10 fail to a 9/10 fail

People have survived plane crashes before but very rarely. But they’ve mostly been water landings because the water cushioned the blow. Also thanks for warning me about the Ionic and all other modern Fitbit models. The one I have currently hasn’t overheated because it has less features. I was thinking of getting a versa 4 for Christmas but after watching with what happened with the Ionic, I’m getting a little bit weary.

9:31 i have been using a fitbit ionic for 6 years and i regularly get stopped about it, but it has been through so many repairs and it continues just fine. fitbit still provides support for it too!

2:42 That right there... That small hiss sound is the sound of utter disappointment... The sigh is the cherry on top..

imagine having a heart-pacer attached to you which you paid thousands of dollars for, just to know it was faulty. 💀💀

Played manhunt when it came out and I was a teen - that game is fun af, loved it. I'm not violent IRL at all so not sure why is it banned and/or got to your list

For the FitBit one, I can relate, ive actually have a slight burn from the FitBit, infact, i can still see some marks today

6:06 grate idea to get rid of any mistake

For the last one - there's a little more about it. The problem is that Boeing wanted to rush the plane out and touted the MAX as a direct replacement to the 737, with no additional training needed. However, because of the engine being placed right on the wing instead of under the wing, the thrust would naturally make the 737 MAX nose up more than the 737, so they used software to adjust the flaps automatically, bringing the nose down to emanate the 737. The issue of the crashes was caused by that software misenterpeting incoming data, and automatically taking the plane down regardless of how hard the pilots tried to pitch up. All because a competitor was releasing a plane they thought would outcompete the Boeing 737. It's even more of a tragedy than is presented here. EDIT: not the flaps, the trim was being adjusted

'Can we just animate it in the edit..while I leave some bad feedback on ebay' Lol that second part

I got a Verizon ad as soon as you hit the table at 7:12

Still loving how you are spending more time on each product in these roundups. Way more fun to watch, thanks!

Wow the Peloton one suprised me didn't realise that happened really bad 😭

Seeing a brit critique Manhunt is wild lol very funny, unfortunately not banned as it was a full retail release but partially yeah.

your videos are the best, I love watching them when I'm angry, they always calm me down in my opinion, the best creator

Hi Arun, about the 737 MAX, Boeing tried to mitigate retraining pilots to be able to make use of the 737 MAX Asap. So they fitted it with MCAS, which corrects the automatic pitch up maneuvoure due to the larger engine fitted under its wing. Unfortunately, the MCAS would often (if not always) over trim the aircraft causing it to go into an irreversible dive.

17:45 an aviator here. I don’t wanna be the party pooper, but if a plane crashes, it doesn’t necessarily end up being fatal, there have been more plane crashed where (almost) everyone survived than being fatal. The 737 MAX’ had problems with their sensors and a coding bug in the system that should keep everyone safe, resulting in it going into a nosedive. Anyways, I love your videos and theres always something to learn about :) I’m sorry for my commentary above, but I just wanted to note this.

The pacemaker one is just terrifying! Imagine your pacemaker randomly killing you because some discord mod saw it on tiktok

As a kid in the 70s, I remember a couple of a neighbors playing a safely conducted game of lawn darts. I was still scared of the big pointy ends of those darts. I didn't want to get near their game. Didn't surprise me when I later heard of bans on them.

Tata nano was not banned, but it didn't had good impression not because of the fire and also there were only few cases of it catching fire. But it failed because it was so narrow, small and light weight that it would tip over at high speeds on highway.

I remember lawn darts here in the UK, I was so jealous of my friends that had them - now I'm kind of glad I didn't have them!

That Send Me To Heaven app is lowkey evil plan on destroying smartphone 😂

Great vid and i've been using Opera GX for a while now and the Opera browsers are deff my fav

Ok for the peloton one they actually fixed it. About half a year ago after they started noticing the safety issues, they added a code you had to know in order to even get the treadmill to work. But yeah I could definitely see the treadmill leading to many safety problems still Edit: also they made a new model of the treadmill that is still being sold

The inclusion of Bextra reminds me how pharmaceutical companies convinced doctors that opioids were not as dangerous as previously thought and convinced doctors to focus on their patients comfort (as in, freely prescribe dangerous and highly addictive pain relievers that were previously reserved for the terminally ill). This basically turned physicians into legalized heroin dealers, greatly to the benefit of pharma's profits. Many died, families/lives ruined, stocks soared, lawsuits fought, fines paid, and business as usual. I'd think that would be a huge fail (except for those that benefited).

I guess you could say “The Samsung note7 has 97 mental illnesses and is banned from most public spaces.”

bro summoned the entire aviation community with the last one 😂

To this day my favorite banned iPhone app was the secret tethering app that looked like a basic calculator that allowed you to tether other devices to your internet without going through your carrier and didn't require a jailbreak. My second favorite was the secret app store disguised as a coloring book app that let you download the premium paid apps for free again, without a jailbreak.

Great to see you including a wider variety of stuff in these videos beyond just electronic devices, especially the pharmaceutical industry. If you're going to include banned medications then the top of the list in your next video should be Thalidomide. What it did was absolutely tragic, it was banned decades ago yet people are still suffering and living with severe disabilities to this day. Thousands of families destroyed and lives lost too.

This guy is amazing! Never fails to entertain us😂

Abbot’s pace makers weren’t their only problem child. Their Freestyle Libre diabetic sensor has a lot problems. I used it for over a year and was lucky if it lasted a few days instead of the 14 days it’s supposed to, without it coming off or acting up. Pokémon Go had a serious problem too which led them to change the game, giving warnings to pay attention to what’s going on around you and don’t play while driving. People were so obsessed with the game they weren’t paying attention to loved ones giving birth or where they were going and wandered into traffic or off cliffs, all for a digital creature.

Arun: "This product killed 150 people" Also Arun: "8/10 Fail"

2:51 That rocket is a failure itself 😂😂😂😂

Beoing 737 Max then: Not enough tests. Boeing 737 Max now: Still not enough tests!

The tips on lawn darts weren't sharpened, it's just the weight of them meant they'd still pierce things just because of how fast they'd fall. I grew up in the 90s, but my family had a set. We had rules. No throwing unless everyone is at the top of the yard (our yard had a bit of a slope to it), no playing while the dog was outside (since a dog might try to chase them). Nobody ever got hurt. But I was like 7 at the youngest, I could see how younger kids might be careless, or unexpectedly get in the way or something.

4:45 that car still exists here lmfao

There was also another problem with the fit-bit, when some of the straps would irritate your skin and leave a rash and still the company hasn't dealt with it yet.

The lawn darts thing always makes me shake my head. I had them as a kid myself, having been born in the 80s. When used correctly there is no real risk. The point was that where they would land was very far away from where any people should have been. The darts themselves were thrown underhanded so they'd make a big arc through the air and land far from anyone. The issue was that people let their kids play with DARTS unsupervised without properly making sure the kids were using them correctly.

These vids never get boring i been watching ur vids all day and im still entertained!! nice vids👍👍

For the 737 Max, I think a big reason why it was sped through FAA approval since both the update to the Airbus A320 neo and more importantly, the Airbus A220 which was originally designed, engineered and manufactured by the Canadian company Bombardier as the "Bombardier CS series". These were much more fuel efficient than the Boeing 737 and US airlines such as Delta made huge orders for this advanced aircraft. There seemed to be some backroom deals done by Boeing and the FAA where they first banned the aircraft not for any safety reasons, but because they said the Canadian government helped with investment (Which apparently the US government never does for Boeing and their numerous defence contracts /s). Eventually Airbus partnered with Bombardier and assembles some parts of the plane in their Alabama plant. It's a very well designed plane, and rather than innovate and compete, Boeing tried to weasel their dangerous plane onto the market. Airbus saw the value and innovations of the plane and partnered with, and then bought up Bombardier's passenger plane division. (Makes it cheaper to produce now since Airbus has way more buying power than Bombardier)

Such a good video. So detailed for each item, a good slow pace that doesn't bore but also doesn't go too fast... just everything. I'm so glad you heard us and changed a couple things about your videos! I missed these awesome videos.

13:40 I recently learned that my grandpa and his buddies would throw these at each other lol

galaxy bomb 7💀 10:28

7:34 you had the perfect opportunity to rickroll us

Also with the Boeing case the ceo simply tried to brush it off with pilot error, saying their training wasn’t good enough, and eventually resigning but taking a huge amount of money out of it. Plus Boeing WAS known for their incredible quality, but with wanting to keep up with airbus they rushed orders just leaving mistakes as if they weren’t there leading to even more backlash.

I have had random people take photos of me before. That's probably why we keep getting so many spam texts and calls.

Did a presentation about worst inventions a while ago. One of em was a fire alarm invented to prevent false alarms. The solution: Lock the persons hand who pulled the alarm on it, until the fire department came to unlock it. Basically demanding a sacrifice in case of a real fire. 6/10

13:25 also the theft hazard!!

You should have included the drug/substance Thalidomide in this video. It tops most other medical disasters, but mostly made its mark in Europe I believe. 10 000 births with (severe) defects and an unknown number of deaths.

I had one of those hasbro water rockets! I remember being so excited about it and then it shot like 3 feet of the ground a fell over. I had no idea they were so bad

The Galaxy Note 7's incident is so famous and memed that it was even featured as a gag in Crash bandicoot where one of Coco's idle animations has her tossing her phone in the air before it explodes.

5:21 The more bigger failure was how they marketed it. The only branding they did was how cheap it was. Hence many didnt wanna to buy the car because the neighbourhood would think they were poor

9:00 the fact that it is prefectly legal for people to take your picture in public places, and now you have to deal with companies selling your picture for "market research" is unsettling.

props to the guy for actually finding all this stuff

Arun: "This product caused the entirety of the Philippines and the Caribbean to drown with no escape" Also Arun: _"4 out of 10 fail"_

Hey Aaron, can you sometime compile a list of all the sponsors you've partnered with so far. I've seen your video where you mentioned how you decide to partner with a product and I find them actually useful. But it's hard to keep a track of all so if you squeeze all of them at one place, that'd be great.

I live in Ireland, and my dad managed to get a copy of the manhunt game when it came out. Presumably before it was banned. We still have it, and honestly it’s still pretty shocking that this game was ever released.

Thank you so much for letting me know about the Fitbit... I was about to buy one for Christmas 2022. Now I'm N.O.T. risking myself for a watch. I have a GalaxyNote7... Why do I have this?! Srsly I have one... NOT knowing the conditions... Yeah I'm returning this

For #6, it's coming back in early 2024 and the picture appears to show a new guard on the back of the belt to prevent pull-under.
