I'd Rather Have A Pint Of Guiness

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

The man who bills himself as "The Human Speed Bump" was attempting to break the Guinness book of world records for being run over by eight vehicles. No, you didn't read that wrong. He wanted to be run over by eight vehicles the last one being a box truck. For those unfamiliar with the term, box truck, think of a Ryder Truck used for personal moving. This one weighed 14 tons!!!

Mr. Bump was no stranger to this trick having done similar stunts at many state fairs over the years. Bumpy doesn't take his training lightly. He trains by having a friend stand on his six pack abs and hold up to 1000 pounds in weights, so he says, and moves his friend up and down by pushing his stomach muscles. What happened at the Arizona State Fair in October 2008 is hard to stomach.

Bumpy lies down in between two ramps. his stomach peeking over edge of both. The trucks then drive up one side, over him, and down the other as he waves them on.

Human was waving the last truck, the 14 ton box truck, to run over him. The truck went up the ramp and then the ramp broke and well Human S. Bump became a human flat clump.

"Paramedics were on the scene immediately," said Lieutenant Angel Leos with the Department of Public Safety. "He was taken to St. Joseph's where he received medial treatment. My understanding is that he has injuries to his lower extremities."

Let's hope that the injuries to his lower extremities means genitalia, and non functional.

Sometimes lying down on the job will get you more than just fired.

Definitely Toss: Other
I'm sorry, Jonathan, but considering the repeated nature of this stunt, I have to class it in the same department as extreme sports, and therefore noneligible. Thanks anyway, and submit again!


Bruce said:
Definitely Toss: No Self-Selection
I agree with Candi in this case. There are plenty of stunt people, etc. who do things like this for a living. If we awarded this fellow then we'd likely have to give awards to people like Houdini, Evel Knievel, etc.
