Dumb and Dumber

2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two brothers, with nothing better to do, decided to attempt a stunt worthy of the X-games. Getting into their van, they drove off in search of fame and glory. The one brother (25 years old) decided to get out of the moving van and attempted to skateboard down the street while hanging on to the van. Unfortunately, he fell of the van and his brother promptly ran over him. Medics performed CPR on the injured man at the scene, then took him to a hospital, where physicians pronounced him dead. No report on the condition of the skateboard or the dumb brother.

The accident occurred in the 8200 block of East Jamacha Road shortly before 4 p.m., according to San Diego police.

Neutral: Darwin Award
I guess, in San Diego, where they don't have snow, the truly mindless use skateboards instead of sleds.

Charles said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
What Daniel suggests without actually saying, is that we do have a lot of stories like this, only with people in the Northern states being dragged on inner tubes across the snow. But the skateboard does make it sufficiently different to make it worth a look.

Jack said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
I'll simply say that I agree with Daniel and Charles.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
Too bad the other brother wasn't affected and can still pass on the families genes.
