Die young do bungee jumping

2012 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two youths of 25 and 27 they beat each other in the air by jumping from a crane that they had installed. When practiced extreme sport, victims clashed heads with each other. This time the tragedy did not happen by cutting the rope, as has happened before, but by an absurd clash between two participants of the practice.

Maybe Toss: Darwin Award
This sort of stupidity is fairly common... but a double bash into each other isn't. Let's see what the other moderators have to say. Thanks, Valeria, and submit again!

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
These folks were apparently smart enough to place safety nets or airbags under the bungee site, but not smart enough to realize they would likely collide with each other as they jumped? Sounds like a pair of winners in my book. Thanks, Valeria!
