EVOLUTION PRESENTS: The Human Bottle Rocket
AT-RISK SURVIVOR. We think. Could be a Darwin Award.
category: private parts, fireworks
2006 incident. News only now reaching the ears of Charles Darwin.
From HIS ears to your eyes. Sunderland, England paramedics found a
prone man suffering injuries including a scorched colon, caused by
a Black Cat Thunderbolt rocket. The 22-year-old had, unbelievably,
inserted this rocket in his back side, laid down on his front side,
and lit the fuse in an attempt to make the rocket fly up into the air.
But it was pointing the other way! The regional Firework Association
chairman spoke for us all when he said, "This sort of thing is beyond
belief."

A lot has happened recently. I have to over-share with you about
the two mojo mechanics who wanted to ride a barrel-rocket skidding
across a parking lot. One Darwin Award winner, and one survivor
of the wild ride... What did they do? They poured some propane
into a big, empty barrel, climbed on board, and lit the bunghole...
2010 Darwin Award: Barrel Ride, With Flames!

WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
In a flagrant act of wheelchair abuse, a man, annoyed that an
elevator has closed and departed without him, rams his wheelchair
into the doors not once, not twice, but THREE times in all--only
to plunge down the now-empty elevator shaft to his death.
The elevator windows are transparent so any fool could see that
the elevator was gone, gone, gone. But don't take my word for it,
view the video! 2010 Darwin Award: Wheelchair Access
AWARD WINNER. ALERT! Another Grand Canyon tourist, who was leaping from
precipice to precarious precipice, made the plunge. Do you suppose that
those two words have the same roots, 'precipice' and 'precarious'? It
seems obvious that the combination should trigger a warning reflex that
keeps an animal away from danger. But nope, not in this case. Gravity.
It's always on. 2010 Darwin Award: Reckless Spending
