Kibbutz-gate

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Nethaniel Goodman from Jerusalem, aged 17, held a competition with his friends, to determine who can go faster through the closing electric-powered gate of kibbutz Maale Gilboa (Israel). Unfortunately Nethaniel wasn't fast enough for the heavy gate, which didn't have emergency sensors. After staying 5 days in hospital in a critical condition he passed away.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
Very short of detail, but playing chicekn with a gate designed to keep out the resistance fighters is pretty stupid. Shame there's no reference, I tried the Ha'aretz daily, but without a date it's not possible to find the story.

Well he obviously lost this competition.

Boys taunting boys into more ludicrous heights of stupidity -- Darwin at his finest. But perhaps this one is too common, so I can't say "keep" for sure.

Playing chicken with powerful machinery is not unknown (see cars-vs.-trains stories), but this one still seems worthy of a nomination.
