Email a Friend What I Can Still Do
2005 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin

(16 January 2005, Florida) Two North Fort Myers residents, 23-year-old Molly and her husband, had rented a room in a local motel for some unspecified activity, perhaps involving perpetuation of the species. As Molly entered the second-floor room, she went straight for the lanai, which overlooked a concrete patio. Most guests would have seen the railing on the edge of the lanai as a safety feature, but for Molly it brought to mind fond memories of her youthful gymnastic abilities.

Molly called out to Todd, "Watch to see what I can still do." These would be her last words. She did a flip onto the railing for a handstand, just the way she used to do, then toppled over the other side, slamming into the patio 15 feet below. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Reader Comments:
"Molly, Molly, Molly." "She was just dying to impress him! LOL"
"Agility does NOT equal intelligence (apparently.)"
"Bet that wasn't the type of action he was looking for..."
