Re: Darwin Awards 2019
Relax, as always where America leads, the UK duly follows !
Now I'm not really au fait with the finer points of bondage, but, I do have a reasonable idea that securing yourself to a car steering wheel doesn't feature too prominently.
A commendable attempt therefore and a name to watch out for in the future.....maybe the couple should be socially introduced to each other ?

Re: Darwin Awards 2019
I read something this morning on the BBC website about guy who was injecting himself with his own semen in order to cure a rash and predictably ended up in hospital. I suppose ending up in hospital doesn't qualify.
Then I heard from a doctor that he had prescribed a course of medication for somebody, taking a pill every alternate day. the guy was admitted to hospital with severe symptoms because he had decided to take 15 pills on the first day of the month rather than space them out.
Again doesn't really qualify but spectacularly stupid

Re: Darwin Awards 2019
Still, when all is said and done, injecting it into your own body can have less dangerous consequences than injecting it into someone else's.

Ah, that is a slightly different slant, and pictures, from the ones I saw in TOP that suggested she climbed in a bikini. Stripping off at the summit is rather different and I imagine not that infrequent on 5,000 foot peaks.
In UK you would have to settle for one in Wales or Scotland.

Re: Darwin Awards 2019
Here's a bunch of potential candidates just waiting for their chance to shine.

At the end of the article:Chico, CA — Government officials have issued a warning to be on the lookout for teenagers laying on railroad tracks across the country. The phenomena, which started on the Internet, is being called the “Railroad Track Challenge” and dares mostly young people to lay on railroad tracks and get up at the last-minute as a train approaches.
According to government officials, no one has been injured or killed because of this latest challenge, but they expect that to change soon.

Lime Scooters win again. Get rid of them I say, but must admit that this sort of behaviour doesn't help them, but should we worry about this individual?

Or young and formally uninhabitedFor months now, the city's emergency rooms have been awash in something else: severely injured people, many of them young and formerly uninhibited.

Re: Darwin Awards 2019
Surely not formerly, but presently, uninhabited by intelligence ? Should be left broken-limbed and bleeding, crawling along the road, so the rest of us can have a good laugh. And perhaps handed leaflets on how to play the Blue Whale Game (OpsNormal Passim).
