Your observation is bang on. Each year for at least the past 5, the only thing that has changed is the "date" of the award. Here's the actual 2010 Darwin award winner. Wheelchair Access 2010 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin (25 August 2010, Daejon, South Korea) VIDEO NEWS! A handicapped man, annoyed that an elevator closed and departed without him, thinks it over before ramming his wheelchair into the doors not once, not twice, but three times in all--only to plunge down the now-empty elevator shaft to his death. Simultaneous success and failure combine to earn the 40-year-old "Angry Wheelchair Man" lasting immortality as a Darwin Award winner. Note: If the video is missing, click here for more options. youtube.com The tragic downfall of this rashly rushing rammer provides a heartening example of how brilliant you are--compared to some! However, natural selection just got a little harder. The authorities traced the "problem" to elevator doors that cannot withstand a large impact.
