Wendy on Video! Brilliantly written and produced by Eric Riddle, long-time fan of the Darwin Awards, for KING-TV Evening Magazine in Seattle. Reenactments of the Motorcycle Mishap, Freeway Dangler, and more!

The Ides of March has never been so foreboding:
Faulty Aim Fatal: Gerald's poor marksmanship is his downfall. Failed Frame-Up: Revenge gone awry. Plug Me In: Turns out Nyugen was wrong! Jumping Jack Cash: Physics lesson at the Grand Canyon. Rubbish! Women gone wild. Repairs on the Road: Mechanics gone wild. Fatal Footsie: The more sensible villagers fled in terror. Second Time's the Charm: Repeat until lesson is learned. Forklift Safety Video: Do as I say, not as I do. Shooting Blanks: Incident at a Madrid brothel. Shell Necklace: The dark side of making jewelery.
