Darwin Awards are a dubious honor for those who die in foolish ways and thereby take themselves out of the gene pool. Not all stupid deaths qualify as there does have to be some "style" and clear lack of thinking. Examples include someone who tries to break into a vending machine to have it land on them. Another includes someone who strapped a rocket onto the back of his car and hit a cliff...at 300 miles an hour. Another has someone throwing giant rocks off a bridge onto the freeway only to fall over himself and get hit.
