I couldn't find the chronicle, but the helmet head was funny.

All Darwin Awards are true. They are investigated because there are plenty of entries that are simply urban myths. But this, this howler is amazing.

That's not so remarkable actually. The idiot was probably suicidal for a while beforehand.

I don't know. It looked like he really suffered to make this entertaining clip.

Wow that is funny! But you have to ask yourself why. Why would you do that to yourself seriosuly!! I geuss half a million views is a good incentive but I wouldn't do it for a million views. it's also kind of strange that the first thing he grabs is his leg when he rolls over, I don't know about you but my leg wouldn't exactly be taking priority.

What about half a million dollars? Would you do it for half a million dollars? Maybe this idiot thought he would become world famous by doing it. As for him grabbing his leg, yeah, I noticed that to. That is one more reason I think this is fake.

Half a million dollars perhaps I would but I probably would'nt be able to convince myself. Half a million rosated chickens then I would definately do it. Would you?

I would have to decide how many children I want altogether before making up my mind 100%. I'd also need proof the money is really there to be paid, otherwise it would be an even more painful day! Maybe on seeing all those 100's I'd become more inclined.

A website like that only proves what we already know. There are too many people in this world that simply don't use their brain.
