An Austin man died after hitting his head while trying to do a backflip near the lakeshore in the Gold Coast neighborhood, authorities said.
Terrence Mauldin was with his 23-year-old nephew when he attempted a backflip off a three-foot-high retaining wall south of North Avenue Beach around 7:20 p.m., police said. Mauldin landed head-first on the concrete, according to police.

The article says the guy was 54. Kind of old to be acting like a drunk college student. We can learn some things from movies.
For instance, when Dean Wormer said: Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son, he meant it.
Had the dearly departed paid attention during this scene, he may not have tried this trick.

I understand that all republicans in Chicago change their party affiliation when they die. They become as thoughtful as the living democrats.

If it was a white sand beach, expect Jesse Jackson to organize a protest.Not if the "victim" is white.
Now if the "victim" is black, Jesse will mumble something about...
Stand your/on ground laws.
Of course if the "victim" is black, Jesse will avoid the fact that this was a black ON white crime.

A few weeks ago, I was having a drink with my wife and my son in the lounge at the beautiful W Hotel in Hoboken, NJ. Looking out the window, we saw several young teens in an adjacent area using some ledges to attempt backflips similar to the one that this unfortunate old fool attempted. Luckily, the kids were a little more spry and, despite not exactly sticking some of the landings, they were able to walk away under their own power when the security guard chased them off.
