2015 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A couple of daredevils known to post extreme videos to their YouTube channel decided to 'up their game' by attempting to play baseball with a mortar. American friends Boo and Saki prepared for the stunt in a car park before the former explained that they have safety precautions on standby - a bottle of water. Saki then pulls a baseball mask over his face and gets into position with his bat as Boo lights the fuse of the mortar with the end of his cigarette. The mortar then explodes and hundreds of firework-style missiles fly towards Saki who does his best to swat them. Smoke obscures the footage and only the outline of the daredevil can be seen swinging the bat wildly in the hope of connecting with something. The light display concludes and Saki celebrates, but the show is not yet over and suddenly grenade-like mortars are launched towards him. He does his best to hit them back but misses the first two by a matter of inches and looks on as they explode behind his head. The third mortar comes up short and explodes in front of him and the fourth goes straight over his head. The fifth is probably the closest of the lot but Saki is forced to dive out of the way last minute as it explodes just next to him. The video concludes with Saki removing the mask and walking back towards the camera - luckily unharmed. “A***” for effort. A Double Darwin awaits around the corner. Meantime DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PROCREATE.

If this idiot had managed to cleanly connect with one of those mortars it likely would have exploded right next to him and we'd be voting on a DA instead of an HM. Thanks, Dave!
