A motorcyclist who was apparently performing stunts in a Santa Clarita mall parking structure died after flying over the handlebars and falling several floors, officials said Monday.

The victim was only described by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as being female.

The incident occurred at the parking structure of the Westfield Town Center in Santa Clarita.

The victims family attorney will have investigators out there measuring the wall, taking pics of signage or lack of it, digging up the safety history of the parking structure, finding out if it’s been used by others for a private stunt arena, et al.

Aerial footage shows many “donut” tire marks.

And most parking structures have cameras...If so, why where those people allowed to use the structure as their own speedway? Btw, I’m just thinking out loud about how the lawsuit will go.

Read the rules.
Killing others: The death of innocent bystanders absolutely rules out a Darwin Award. We don't applaud those who take others out of the gene pool, even if they share some DNA in common. Injuring bystanders is also frowned upon.
To kill or injure others, the potential for it to happen must exist. This little stunt certainly excluded the safety of anyone nearby.

“The victim was only described by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as being female.”

I think the female who crashed the F-35 trying to land on a carrier (hint, it’s harder than doing it in a simulator) wasn’t trying to do any stunts, but really no difference.

Looks like it was a popular place to learn how to ride. Maybe not the best place, so high up.

“Read the rules. ... Killing others:”

Lets look at your erroneous post”

“The potential to endanger others is a disqualifier.”

Proof by assertion on your part? Please don’t use blatant fallacies. At least try to make a cohesive argument; I don’t think I’m being pedantic by equating endangering people with injuring/killing them.

...died after flying over the handlebars and falling several floors...
It's not the fall that kills ya, it's the sudden stop at the end.
The victim was only described by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as being female.
Sure, but at least she stopped and asked for directions to the parking ramp.

flying over the handlebars and falling several floors, officials said Monday.>>> No one dies from falling. They die from hitting something that kills them before they can safly land somehow. ANd it was a girl? or transgender?

No Darwin Award qualification here; misusing road vehicle and potentially endangering others.

I don't understand anything that your typed.   If a person that nas never been a parent dies doing something stupid to cull the herd, that's an automatic Darwin Award Candidate.   How could she not be?

Good Grief!   Who thought up the "politically correct" Darwin Award Rules?   That's daft!

Hello!   The very concept of a Darwin Award is not "politically correct."   Anyone who believes in or applies this rule deserves a Runner-up Darwin Award for their abject ignorance.

Read the rules. It’s not automatic.

Strawman argument. I didn’t write the rules, any more than your attempt to attach the phrase “politically correct” to them fits in any way.

BTW, one does not have to die to actually earn a Darwin (legitimately).
