What I Can Still Do
2005 Darwin Award Winner
Confirmed True by Darwin
(16 January 2005, Florida) Two North Fort Myers residents, 23-year-old
Molly and her husband, had rented a room in a local motel for some
unspecified activity, perhaps involving perpetuation of the species. As
Molly entered the second-floor room, she went straight for the lanai, which
overlooked a concrete patio. Most guests would have seen the railing on the
edge of the lanai as a safety feature, but for Molly it brought to mind
fond memories of her youthful gymnastic abilities.

Molly called out to Todd, "Watch to see what I can still do." These would be her last words. She did a flip onto the balcony railing for a handstand, just the way she used to do, then toppled over the other side, slamming into the patio 15 feet below. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Reader Comments:
"Molly, Molly, Molly."
"She was just dying to impress him! LOL"
"Agility does NOT equal intelligence (apparently.)"
"Bet that wasn't the type of action he was looking for..."
