Almost An Award

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Darwin says, "I don't want to encourage people to do stupid things, so we don't accept submissions like the one below, in which people are showing off for the camera. The Darwin Awards are for accidental mishaps."
ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

Still in the gene pool but worthy of an honorable mention?

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
GADZOOKS! I will forego the need for a better write-up and just award this guy! This video pretty much givs a real-world visual to all the man vs. train "chicken" stories we've gotten over the years! I'll bet this bozo tries it again at a different location (and with different results)!

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
Wow! I don't think any writeup could do justice to that actual video. He's darned lucky he didn't get his foot caught on the train track or slipped while getting out of the way. I wouldn't be surprised if he does eventually win himself a full DA!
