Impaled - at 2nd attempt

2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A man returned drunk with friends to his 1st floor appartment in Aberwyswyth, Wales. Someone mentioned girls, at which he dropped his trousers and shouted from his window "who wants some of this?" He bent forward with his trousers and boxer shorts round his ankles and and fell out of the window, impaling himself on railings outside the appartment block, thus killing himself due to blood loss, according to a pathologist's report. The most stupid aspect is best described by the man's flatmate, quoted from the BBC's report. "Mr Mason had appeared at the window in a similar manner the night before, he said, but that time was saved from falling through by a friend who managed to grab him. The following morning when they had sobered up, he said Mr Mason had acknowledged what a dangerous stunt it was."

More info on this story. I missed that it was his second try.

Neutral: For Darwin's Eyes
While I'm still dubious, the additional information does add more credibility to the story.

This being his second try at Darwin-grade stupidity, I begin to think him worthy of consideration.
