Sometimes inventors are so passionate about their work that it leads to their ultimate deaths. Here are 7 inventors who were killed by their own inventions. 1. Henry Smolinski. He invented a âflying car,â which was really just fusing the rear end of a Cessna Skymaster airplane with a Ford Pinto. During the first test run in 1973, Smolinski and his co-pilot died in a crash when the rear detached from the car.
