¨1980s, South Carolina
A parachute instructor was videotaping the lessons he was giving to a group of trainees. He had attached the video camera to his helmet so that it would capture the entire day of instruction. The group of enthusiastic beginners went up in the plane, and the instructor led them through preparations for the jump.

When they reached the jump site, the students and instructor jumped from the plane, tape still running. A few minutes later, the instructor realized that he had been so focused on preparing his trainees for the jump, which needed to be perfect for the sake of the videotaped lesson, that he had forgotten to strap on his own parachute.

All but the last ten feet of his fall was recorded by the camera. The very last part of the tape was destroyed by the impact.


How much would that suck?

that guy's stupid, one of his students should of saved him

That is a scary thought.

I wouldn't want anyone that absent-minded teaching me how to jump out of a plane.

from Darwin awards site:


" (July 2002) This story was told at a symposium dinner, by two Austrian pathologists who work together in Germany. A deceased male was brought to them for a post mortem. He had suffered severe head trauma. According to police reports, the man wanted to see how a German World War II hand grenade was constructed. His curiosity led him to clamp the grenade in a vise, and cut a thin band around the center with a circular saw, so that he would be able to crack open the two halves. Unfortunately, the man cut a little too deep, and detonated the grenade. The pathologists stated that the man had very little brain material when he was brought to them; however, they were not sure if that was a result of the explosion!"


damn saw n00b.
biggrin:

EDIT: and here we have a chainsaw n00b

" (January 2002, Croatia) A Croatian was killed while trying to open a hand grenade with a chainsaw. He wanted to retrieve the explosive to make firecrackers for the New Year’s holiday."

ANOTHER EDIT: n00b criminal owns himself:

" (7 March 2002, Colorado) When Gerald was pulled over by police for erratic driving, he decided it was better to flee from the stolen car on foot, rather than face possible jail time for a parole violation. This was the first of two successive mental lapses. Gerald’s actual thoughts are unknown, but *may* have been something like this: "The officers are only suspicious and alert now... I’ll make them hot, sweaty, tired, and angry by leading them on a wild chase through dark alleys and fields."

During the subsequent foot chase, Gerald attempted to dissuade officers from the pursuit by firing a 9mm Ruger semiautomatic handgun blindly over his shoulder. This was the second illustration of a potential mental deficiency. "Officers are running behind me. They have guns. I have a gun! They have eyes in the front of their heads, so they can see to aim at me. I don't have eyes in the back of my head, so I’ll fire wildly behind me and see what happens!"

Unfortunately, Gerald appears to have been one of those folks who can't chew gum and walk at the same time. Or at least he couldn’t flee and fire at the same time. While discharging the weapon over his shoulder, Gerald managed to shoot himself in the head with his own gun, bringing the chase to a sudden conclusion.

Four shots were fired, none by the officers, who found Gerald's pistol next to his fallen body. Gerald was transported to a local hospital where he expired the following day, thus removing a set of genes deficient in both judgment and coordination from the gene pool."

Heh......one day in English class we were talking about William Golding's life and how he went through D-Day with the brits. My teacher asked if any of us knew what D-Day was, and i raised my hand....the teacher asked my what it was and i began this thorough explination about Overlord and thier 5 beaches....plus the average killed at each beach, and who landed where. Those 3 facts (which im sure are pretty simple to all of you) stunned the whole class. (Plus my teacher) Then it hit me, i found out that i am a rare breed in my school that knows about WWII.

Americans are really stupid people, and this is comin from an American. I encounter way too many enraged people. I "cut someone off" on the freeway, and when I got off at my exit, he followed me and at the next stop light he got out of his car, cussing his head off, wanting to beat the shit out of me. I couldn't resist laughing at him. This was followed by him getting more angry and storming back to his vehicle and peeling out, only to be pulled over by a cop 1 mile down the road. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Darwin Award- A police officer in Ohio responded to a 911 call. She had no details before arriving, except that someone had reported that his father was not breathing. Upon arrival, the officer found the man facedown on the couch, naked. When she rolled him over to check for a pulse and to start CPR, she noticed burn marks around his genitals. After the ambulance arrived and removed the man - who was declared dead on arrival at the hospital - the police made a closer inspection of the couch, and noticed that the man had made a hole between the cushions. Upon flipping the couch over, they discovered what caused his death. Apparently the man had a habit of putting his penis between the cushions, down into the hole and between two electrical sanders (with the sandpaper removed, for obvious reasons). According to the story, after his orgasm the discharge shorted out one of the sanders, electrocuting him.

hey look on teh bright side, knowing WWII stuff will make it that much easier to convince authorities that you're a legitimate collector so you can buy full auto Thompsons, BARs, MG-42s, etc.

O yea! The police will surely let a crazy WWII lover have a gun! oOo:

actually to be considered as a collector you have to convince them that you are indeed very much interested (aka obsessed) with that particular part of our history.
