The sum of all deficiencies.

This bloke took his first solo jet ski ride while a little drunk without experience, licence, or buoyancy vest and already knew he couldn't swim as he had just fallen off as a passenger earlier that day. Fully aware of all those short comings he then deliberately refused to wear the buoyancy vest offered by his daughter plus the confirmation of the coroners report: seems to tick all the Darwin Award's boxes. The only Darwin Award's problem is that he has already contributed to the gene pool as evidenced by the fact that he had at least one daughter. We can only hope that the family had an attractive milk-man?

After reading the full article I'm more than happy to accept this. The multiple layers of stupidity are just too much to ignore. He couldn't swim, had fallen off earlier, didn't have a license, wore a life jacket earlier in the day but took it off, and eventually tried to perform a stunt on the jet ski. Unbelievable.
