**Bonehead** is a bean who impatiently drove around the boomgates at a level crossing and got run over by a train.

## About

*"Bonehead loves his car and hates trains. That's because he's always in a hurry and hates waiting around for things. He believes that patience isn't a virtue; it's a waste of time. "Why can't HURRY UP be a virtue?" he says. Needless to say, when he's faced with the boom gates at a level crossing his impatience gets the better of him – and so does the 145-ton train."*

*- Dumb Ways to Die: Crazy Chronicles Activity Book*

## Appearance

Bonehead looks like a green bean with car parts stuck inside him.

## In the video

In the video, Bonehead is seen waiting at the boom gates. He was impatient and then drives around them quickly. But just after he drives around them, he then gets hit by a train. In the chorus, he is a Standard Dancer, but doesn't fully follow it, due to landing in the chorus after Stumble, and after the start.

## Trivia

### Comparisons and Design

	+ Both were hit by a train.
	+ Both are green.
	+ Both of their names end with the word "head" and start with other body parts.

### General

* His name was approved by Ms. Waymark, the General Manager of DWtD series.
* His gender was revealed in his plush information.
* He is obviously not waiting. This was confirmed by the shop page, citing that he is always in a hurry and hates waiting around for things. He believes that patience isn’t a virtue - it’s a waste of time.
* If one looks closely in the music video, when he falls during the final chorus, he has no arms until he lands.
	+ Another close detail is that during the final pause, **Bonehead**, Putz and Stumble all tap their feet to the tune of the song, most likely referencing Bonehead's impatience, or Stumble's love for music.
* He is frequently used as the mascot for St. Patrick's Day in Dumb Ways to Die.
