    this type of accident can happen to anyone who isn’t fully focused on their surroundings

    So Darwin award? Swear to god you people will bend yourselves backwards to absolve idiots of personal responsibility.

      It feels like none of you have actually read the Darwin Awards website that actually you know, coined the phrase.

      Simply working a dangerous environment and dying within it, doesn’t make it a Darwin Award, not even a nominee.

      She was there to do a job that required a lot of attention on it’s own. You can’t be assigned to photograph skydivers, at an airfield, without having to expend some energy and attention to doing that job.

      By your logic, any of the kids who got ground up and killed cleaning meat processing plants, should have been more aware. Guess they’re also Darwin Award winners, at least by your metrics.

      Darwin Awards are for deaths that are so stupendously stupid and insane, that the removal of their genes from the gene pool acts as a kind of cleanse.

      Such as the guy who stuck a plunger in the shower as a makeshift dildo, held on to the shower curtain rod area for support, which proceeded to break under his weight and impaled him.

      That’s an actual Darwin Award. Not this poor lady.

      • I mean sending ur kids to work cleaning a meat processing plant doesnt sound like a particularly smart way to ensure ur genes get carried on.

        Ur moronic attitude is why our rights are being erased so daddy government can protect you from your own stupidity.

        Are you seriously trying to claim that there would be zero indication your are cm away from an aeroplane propeller. If ur ears, eyes, feel of air movement are so bad u couldnt tell that then perhaps a Darwin award is nessasary.

          I hope nobody talks this way about you if you should die from an accident.

          Holy shit.

          After reading both of your comments, I am left feeling dumber by at least 12%.

          Quick, write about four more of them and I should be good and ready to find my way to a Darwin Award.
