A Polish snowboarder had been killed by a ratrack in Low Tatras, Slovakia. The woman influenced by alcohol and drugs was riding on closed downhill course and when she saw the ratrack shaping the course, she decided to jump on it. Accidently she fell under the machine which caused her several deadly injuries.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
Not the best write-up in the world, and the article is in Czech, but a picture of the snow shaper was all I needed to see! Drunken ski antics are all too common, as is crashing into various obstacles while in the process, but making the decision to JUMP onto such a vehicle is the cherry on the cake! Thanks, Martin!

I'm with James on this. Anybody who has ever gone skiing at a modern-day ski resort has seen these "snow cats" driving around to groom the trails. Only an idiot, drunk or not, would attempt to jump on one of these things as it's moving. Thanks, Martin.

Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest

Hardback. 304 pages. Autographed.
$15
The human race's most popular humor series returns with a brand-new collection of macabre mishaps and misadventures. Honoring those who improve our gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves from it, the Darwin Awards III shows once more how uncommon common sense still is.

Salute the sheriff who inadvertently shot himself--twice! Witness the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw! Heed the story of the farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag! Cringe at the man crushed by a branch he'd just severed... directly over his head!

123 new stories, 18 full-page illustrations, plus discussions of transgenic animals, the origin of life, and more.

Autographed by Author!
