Here's a concise summary of the list of 10 inventors who were killed by their own inventions:
1. Carl Sucuk - died in a barrel stunt over Niagara Falls due to a miscalculation.
2. Otto Lilienthal - died in a glider accident, fracturing his spine.
3. JG Perry Thomas - died after being partially decapitated by a snapped chain on his land speed record car.
4. Thomas Midgley Jr. - died from lead poisoning and polio complications, and was later strangled by a rope from his own invention.
5. Marie Curie - died from radiation exposure due to her work with radioactive isotopes.
6. Max Valier - died in an explosion during a test of his liquid-fueled rocket.
7. Henry Smolinski - died in a crash of his flying car prototype, the AVE Mizar.
8. Franz Reichelt - died after jumping off the Eiffel Tower in his parachute suit, which failed to deploy.
9. Horace Lawson Hunley - died in a submarine he designed, which sank during a routine exercise.
10. Henry Fluess - died due to oxygen toxicity from his closed-circuit oxygen breather invention.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, each numbered and written in a short sentence:
1. Carl Sucuk was a Canadian stuntman who invented a modified barrel called the capsule.
2. Carl Sucuk rode over Niagara Falls in his capsule and survived with minor injuries.
3. Carl Sucuk attempted the stunt again from the top of the Houston Astrodome in Texas but died after the capsule hit the rim of the pool.
4. Otto Lilienthal was a pioneer of human aviation who made successful gliding attempts, reaching distances of up to 250 meters.
5. Otto Lilienthal died after his glider stalled in midair, causing him to fall and fracture his spine.
6. JG Perry Thomas was a Welsh engineer who invented a car that could break the land speed record.
7. JG Perry Thomas died during an attempt to reclaim his land speed record when one of the chains on the car snapped, partially decapitating him.
8. Thomas Midgley Jr. was an American chemist who invented leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons.
9. Thomas Midgley Jr. died after contracting polio and lead poisoning, which led him to invent a series of pulleys and ropes to get himself out of bed.
10. Thomas Midgley Jr.'s pulley system ultimately strangled him, ending his life at the age of 55.
11. Marie Curie was a French-Polish physicist and chemist who discovered several new elements, including radium and polonium.
12. Marie Curie invented the theory of radioactivity and the isolation of radioactive isotopes.
13. Marie Curie died from aplastic anemia due to exposure to radiation from her work.
14. Max Valier was an Austrian rocketry pioneer who worked with Fritz Von Opel to invent rocket-powered cars and aircraft.
15. Max Valier died after an alcohol-fueled rocket exploded during a test.
16. Henry Smolinski and his partner Hal Blake founded a company called Advanced Vehicle Engineers to design and build a flying car.
17. Henry Smolinski died during a routine flight in their flying car, the AVE Mizar, when the wings detached in midair.
18. Franz Reichelt was an Austrian-born French tailor, inventor, and parachuting pioneer who invented a parachute suit.
19. Franz Reichelt died after testing his parachute suit and jumping off the Eiffel Tower, which failed to deploy.
20. Horace Lawson Hundley was a 40-year-old Confederate marine engineer who developed hand-powered submarines during the Civil War.
21. Horace Lawson Hundley died during a routine exercise in one of his submarines, which sank killing all eight members aboard.
22. Henry Fleuss was an Englishman who invented the closed-circuit oxygen breather in 1876.
23. Henry Fleuss died after testing his invention, which was filled with compressed oxygen that became toxic under pressure.
