Darwin award
You leave me speechless.
"The Lancair IV-P single-engine aircraft, which can be built from a kit, had lost its propeller and was "basically gliding" in for an emergency landing on the beach when it hit and instantly killed Jones, said Ed Allen, the coroner for Beaufort County. March, 2010
I reserve that for people deliberately doing very, very stupid and deadly things.
This probably was not the brightest and best idea to do at 1:50 am in the morning, but to say it rises to that, no. Riding a bike isn’t like someone jumping off a house roof onto a trampoline and dying. Killing yourself by your own stupid actions is Darwin award stuff, this guy’s actions alone would not have killed himself, some other idiot did.
I would never do it. I don’t even ride on the streets during the afternoon hours, too many people driving while texting or on the phone, not paying attention. Being in the dark while riding, it’s that much more dangerous and a lot more drunk people are out driving then.
