The stupidity displayed by the participants in the following tales stops short of the ultimate Darwin Awards sacrifice. Nevertheless, we salute the spirit and innovation of their misadventures.

A Really Bad Commute 2008 At-Risk Survivor Confirmed True by Darwin (August 2008, The Netherlands) A 33-year-old man was carpooling to work in Hindeloopen when he mentioned to his colleague that he was carrying a self-made bomb. The driver immediately stopped the car and ejected the lunatic. Outside the car, the lunatic--er, bomb maker--tried to dis-arm the device in an attempt to wheedle his way back into the vehicle. There was nothing to fear, everything was perfectly safe... until the bomb builder crossed the detonator wires. The bomb exploded, blasting away several of the man's non-vital body parts. Police describe the hapless carpool driver as "shaken but unharmed." Category: explosion, work ORIGINAL SUBMISSION DarwinAwards.com © 1994 - 2012 Woot!
