True Darwin Award winners have to off themselves in spectacularly stupid ways not just act stupid in a no stupid zone. We just have to hope and pray these people don't reproduce and don't vote.
They still have time!
This is correct - to qualify for a Darwin Award, you have to die in the commission of the act. You can be nominated for an "Honorable Mention" I believe if your self-imposed injuries are non-fatal. If he'd gotten caught under the spinning wheel of his goofy little rollerskatemobile, I'd have hoped he'd qualify for one or the other.
Not "prison." That requires the illegal act to be one where an offender is convicted of a felony, not a misdemeanor. Only if there are provisions that subsequent convictions of the same crime can be filed and prosecuted as a felony.
Jacket wouldn't have helped. His car was "high-centered," meaning that he needed to get the snow out from under the middle of the vehicle. When one lives and works in the country where snow drifts occur, one learns that one NEVER wants to try to "plow" through a snow drift. If one does, then even four wheel drive won't get one out until the high-center status is gone.
Takes a real long handled shovel to make that happen. Don't ask me how I know that.
