2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

some boys, about 16 or so, decided to have a little fun one fine winter day. these boys went down to some train tracks in the middle of nowhere with a lighter and a can of gasoline. they poured some gasoline into one of the wooden planks in the tracks, and set fire to it. after this, they pour some gasoline all over another boys pants. he runs through the fire on the plank in the track. his pants immediately set fire, as they apparently expected. as to what they expected to do next, i dont know. after a few seconds his pants are fully aflame. he runs around in the snow, also jumping into it, but doesnt stop drop and roll. his friends then try to put out the fire by throwing snowballs at him. you can see this on youtube.com, in a video called "darwin award potential candidate". he doesnt deserve a darwin award, since he did not die, but i still think he deserves an honorable mention. maybe he will get a real darwin award someday.

Definitely Toss: Other
16 years old borders on the maturity rule, and after watching that video one really has to wonder what was going through their heads when they did this. My feeling, having seen the video, is that they simply weren't mature enough to fully comprehend the consequences of their actions, so I vote to toss this based on the maturity rule. Thanks, Tom.

Definitely Toss: Other
While 16 is just old enough to consider, this particular incident smacks of a "Jackass" stunt, and we do tend to frown on those. Nevertheless, we DO appreciate the submission!
