That's a Darwin Award if ever I saw one.

Good distance though... if he had made it.

Nah. Being a bog-standard idiot isn't enough, and I see no sign of anything beyond that.

Since he landed flat on his back I doubt he broke anything.

Anything other than his back, right?

Pfft what do you need your back for anyway?

Nope - if that were the case there'd be a lot more of them. The requirement is not just to remove yourself from the gene pool through stupidity, but to do it through truly exceptional stupidity.

For example, playing Russian roulette is stupid, but not Darwin-worthy. Playing Russian roulette with an automatic pistol is.

But if he made it it would have been awesome.
