And he gets what would be expected for trying. Ballisticaly launched like a missile into a building. And for his attempt recieves todays "Darwin award".
He survived. No Darwin Award. Sorry.
He’s in critical condition so he’s still in the running.
No Darwin award yet.....but a Dumb A$$ award for sure...

Now THAT is funny!!

Darlin’, there’s a hurricane a-comin. Hold muh beer while I grab my kite.
Damn. Whoever was holding his beer got to drink it for him.
let all posters who never did a stupid, silly, impulsive, illegal or questionable thing in their life, carry on the fun and games....
We've all done some stupid things in our life (granted, not as stupid as this guy) and we were laughed at, too.
Life would be boring, otherwise. Lighten up (and have a good laugh at a complete moron).
