Looking at the video I think this idiot earns a non fatal Darwin Award as I doubt he can have kids now...  shocked003

Ooof!  eeek:

But hardly unique - watch some of those 'fail' videos on YouTube - there are hundreds and hundreds like that...  cloud9:

The more the merrier, if they are that stupid then removing their ability to breed is the best option...  eveilgrin:

It's only a matter of time before the inevitable happens. I just feel sorry for the poor bastard that he ends up landing on and the other poor bastard who has to clean up the resulting mess...  noooo:

So an arsonist gets off his face on spice while in prison and then sets himself on fire...


I'll say this for Mr Darwin sir, he certainly has a sense of irony.

Another contender for mass Darwinning award

You want to watch fireworks, you want a good view so why not stand en mass on a railway line?  What could possibly go wrong?


This https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-45913793

'More than 50 people have been killed and 200 hurt after a train ran into a crowd near Amritsar in India's northern Punjab state, police told the BBC.

The victims were standing on the railway tracks watching celebrations for the Hindu festival of Dusshera, eyewitnesses told BBC Punjabi.'
Well, whatever, nevermind
