Pending Acceptance

Police are investigating the roles of alcohol and drugs in the accidental death of a man on Friday afternoon. The 23 year old man apparently jumped with a chair from the roof of a house onto a Bamboo hedge and suffered puncture wounds in his back. It is believed the victim and 2 other men had been partying for about 20 hours with alcohol and drugs, before climbing onto the roof of the house at about 3 pm. Police said that the other 2 men had previously jumped on to the Bamboo hedge, before the victim climbed to a higher level and jumped.

Paramedics removed the man from the bamboo and treated him, but he died at the scene.

Here's the link: http://www.manlydaily.com.au/article/2006/10/24/1197_news.html Somehow this reminds me of something from the early days of the Darwin Awards! A rather bizarre way to go, what?! This one's "out" enough for me to give it the nod!

Eeeshh - nasty way to go. I MUST remember NOT to jump off my roof with my chair into the bamboo hedge. Is this stupidity or just sheer drunkeness?

I don't like it that much - it's the alcohol part that makes it dubious for me

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
I'll vote to keep this for two reasons: this is rather different from the usual leaping from high places stories (onto bamboo?!?), and I do like the name of the news site, "Manly News"...
