"Handi-crapped", Way to Die #190, is the first death featured in "Death: One Size Fits All", which aired on August 29, 2011.
Plot[]
Three men were in an elevator and two of them looked at the third, who seemed to be much shorter than them. What was happening there? Some guys trying not to notice the dwarf? No, it was Trevor, the most hated supervising accountant in a wheelchair.
Trevor reached the fifth floor and asked his secretary, Sarah, where a report was that Trevor said should have been on his desk the night before, Sarah told him that he told her the report was due on Friday, but Trevor claimed that she was supposed to deliver it the night before and gives Sarah 5 minutes to take it to his desk or he will fire her, what a jerk.
But the worst thing about Trevor... was that he was a complete fraud, he faked a on-the-job injury and sued his company for $3,000,000.
Reese Alexander: Workers' compensation fraud, costs businesses approximately $6 billion dollars per year, in premiums. You'll have employees that will state that, they had an injury on the job, when it occurred actually, on the baseball field. Or they're exaggerating the injury.
Trevor was careful to make everyone believe his charade, but that day he was in a hurry and closed the door badly. Trevor got up from the wheelchair, took off a bandage he had on his neck and started talking to someone on the phone, but then Sarah walked in and discovered that he was a fraud, she yelled at that bastard and went to inform the boss, Harvey.
Trevor panicked and saw that his paycheck was going to go away, so he told the person he was talking to that he would call later, he put the bandage on his neck, sat in the wheelchair and went after Sarah, Trevor told Sarah that he could explain and that she not to tell Harvey, but Sarah calmly got into the elevator and Trevor demanded that she stop, then the doors closed, Trevor demanded that she open them and he crashed into the doors, causing the doors to give way and him to fall down the shaft and crash with a loud noise, much to Sarah's surprise.
Eddie Paul: Elevators are not designed to stay shut, when the elevator's not there. There's a gib block behind the trough, that holds the doors, in place, and for maintenance, they could remove those; push the doors out if they need to. The guy in the wheelchair probably combined a weight of 500 pounds. He was going about 11.7 miles an hour when he hit the doors, the gib blocks gave way, and he went down the shaft, hit at least 45 miles an hour, could've been high as 60, 70; he splattered.
The five-story fall broke his neck, back, arms and legs and shattered his skull, killing him by massive trauma.
Narrator: Trevor thought he could get a big payday by faking an injury. But then, he got exposed. And took the express car... to Hell. Going down?

Segment Description[]
- Spike.com misdescribed this way to die for Blast Call, even though it was not out yet on Spike.com as a video.
- "A construction worker is getting wasted at the bar when he accidentally detonates explosive blasting caps he forgot he had in his back pocket." (Spike TV website)
Trivia[]
- SPIKE.com misdescribed this way to die for Blast Call from "Death - The Gift That Lasts Forever", which is not yet on SPIKE.com as a video.
- This is the second way to die to be named "Handi-crapped" after Way to Die #212.
- The Howie scream was heard when Trevor fell to his death.
- Ironically, in a promo which shows this death, that scream isn't heard, it's different.
- This death is loosely based on the real-life death of a South Korean man named Mr. Lee in 2010. However, Mr. Lee was not a worker feigning his injuries like Trevor was. Mr. Lee died as he was waiting to get onto an elevator, but was so angry that he drove into the elevator, and the door collapsed, and he fell to his death.
- This is the last death that had a repeated segment name.
- Trevor's death is similar to that of Lumpy's injury in Happy Tree Friends TV series episode, "Letter Late Than Never" and Mime's death in Happy Tree Friends TV series episode, "Home is Where the Hurt Is".
- Moral of the Story: Never faking being disabled or you be like this guy!
- AEEEEEEEEE!!!
