2010 Darwin Award: Wheelchair Right Of Way

(25 August 2010, Daejon, South Korea) VIDEO NEWS: A handicapped man, annoyed that an elevator closed and departed without him, thinks it over before ramming his wheelchair into the doors not once, not twice, but three times in all--only to plunge down the now-empty elevator shaft to his death. Simultaneous success and failure combine to earn the 40-year-old lasting immortality as a Darwin Award winner.

The tragic downfall of this rashly rushing rammer provides a heartening example of how brilliant you are--compared to some! However, natural selection just got a little harder. The authorities traced the "problem" to elevator doors that cannot withstand a large impact. Safety regulations were strengthened three years after the elevator was installed, to prevent accidents "such as might happen to children and drunks."

That rascal sure got shafted.

I'll bet before this happened he was feeling pretty Jazzy. Now, that he's dead, his ghost will likely Hoveround for eternity.

This guy took life wheely serious. I bet this story was splattered all over the local news.

The Korean national psyche is CRAZY like this all around. Especially the older generations...from like 40-70, who grew up during Korean war/post Korean war era. They have such huge fucking chips on their shoulders it's not even funny -- like the entire world owes them something. I mean, I can understand this to an extent, growing up in a post-war economy after your country

getting raped

for so long must have been brutal, but, jesus, it was 60 years ago...

I read your post twice Blonde, and I couldn't pick out any humorous puns mocking this man's death...Is something wrong?

He definitely dropped the ball.

The senselessness of you pricks never ceases to amaze me. It's like none of you fully grasp the gravity of the situation.

Mr. Blonde · 10-06-2010, 11:44 PM

I guess in my franticness I, much like this man, didn't realize I was setting myself up for such a big fall.

I guess this guy's second profession of being a sports handicapper is now vacant.

Der Fuhrer · 10-07-2010, 02:22 AM

Do you think these posts are making him roll over in his grave?

ninjaface · 10-09-2010, 12:14 PM

He really got the shaft on this one.

I fell over laughing at this post

You guys are terrible. If any of us rolled out of this life prematurely, I highly doubt we'd want others making light of the situation.
