Tragic...but funny
I wonder if they got to ''finish'' before they hit the bottom?

I am curious, is this worthy of a Darwin?

Re: OT: Of all ways to die.. and places to have fun..

it is worthy of a Darwin, despite the fact that copulation and possible reproduction had taken place. they effectively removed themselves and any posible offspring from the gene pool.

Re: OT: Of all ways to die.. and places to have fun..

2007: A naked man and woman in Columbia, South Carolina, died after falling off the roof of a local restaurant during, apparently, a sexual encounter. Their bodies were found by a cab driver. [50]


Looks like it is not the first time. Found this on the Darwin Awards site.

I am easily distracted. You said Darwin Awards so I spent the next half hour reading them. Then I found one almost exactly like the story so I had to post it.
