"Mad" Mike Hughes Wins The Darwin Award

[Coug]

"Hughes, a self-styled daredevil, flat-Earth theorist and limousine-jumping stuntman, died Saturday when his crudely built contraption propelled him on a column of steam, spiraled through the air and cratered into the sagebrush outside Barstow, Calif. He was 64."

He is crazy but has more balls than you!

 

[VolStrom]

What did he think could possibly go wrong? That face plant into the dirt without a parachute must have been an oh sh!t moment.

Are you going to go and help find them? You can start looking off highway 247 in Barstow, California

Dang

 

[JCP201]

Did he not have any loved ones to tell him that this was not a good idea?

NO!

Sad to say, he was probably the smartest in his family, at least in his own mind.

 

[Weezer]

Not gonna lie, the guy was courting death, but it seems strange that someone with liberal sensibilities is the one making fun of it.

 

[VolStrom]

Who was holding his beer is what I want to know.

I think that parachute coming off right after the launch had a lot to do with the end result . But I agree with you on the advise thing .

Wow, life imitating art, which was imitating life.

Hughes gets immediate induction into the Darwin Hall of Fame, alright... but he doesn't top the guy in Houston who played Russian Roulette (for one round) with a .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol.

Lol ok that’s going to be hard to top .

 

[VolStrom]

As I grow older I become more laid back and fearful. On the other hand if I were dying from cancer, I'd much rather go out like this dude did.

Now that's just really terrible luck.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Wait... say what? LOL...

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Now that's just really terrible luck.

I mean, what are the odds that the first shot would be the kill shot? LOL... that is just dumb luck. It must not have registered in his mind that it is called Russian "Roulette"... meaning something has to be spun.
