I call *eia. And if this guy ended up snuffing it, it would be a perfect Darwin Awards submission.

I love the EIA tag, but not for the usual Darwin Awards type reasons. I wonder if this is an example of adaptation. I'll have to look it up, but my guess is that pigeons (or any bird for that matter) can't maintain 90km/h in a horizontal line for any extended amount of time. I'm thinking that they are learning how to draft cars on the highway.

It would be awesome if it confers some adaptive advantage and it starts catching on so that I can go on a road trip with a flock of birds in tow in a flying V formation.

When one backs away, they all back away...except for the designated Darwin Award winner up front.

More potential Darwin Award winners.

As mentioned, these are basically all historical footage of transportation accidents, and famous ones at that. There are definitely a couple in here that are straight up snuff by sift guidelines, but the entire piece as a whole is more of a documentary.

It's not just "Hey look, this guy got shot and now he's bleeding out, lets watch", it's more "This is a look at some of the most terrible accidents mankind has had, each with a backstory as to why it happened, and is generally part of a larger event."

I actually read up on practically every one of these incidents, and to my surprise each one I looked up had detailed information of events that happened up to 100 years ago. The first clip being of a man who wanted to test his parachute idea, so he convinced french authorities to let him test it by having it go over the side of the Eiffel Tower. What he didn't tell them until the day of, however, was that he wasn't going to use a dummy, he was going to test it himself. In a sense, it's the first ever Darwin award caught on film.

Each clip has history to it, and a timestamp / title allowing research into what they are, and is in a sense educational on the broader sense. Again, not just "Hey, this guy was flying too low at an airshow, so lets watch him crash."

I see a Darwin award in his future.

The Darwin Award.

Too stupid to live, and yet still able to breed. It might take a generation or two, but the Darwin Awards will catch up with his offspring (or him, if we're lucky).

Natural selection is fact, not theory.

Looks like inbuilt Darwin Awards design.. No rails, just a hole in the floor.

He probably bled out seeing as it looks to me like he was fleeing the scene. Chinese Law is notoriously strict he was probably more scared of being arrested than he was worried about his arm spewing blood like a bilge pump.

[edit] I nominate him for a Darwin Award.

>> ^Fade:

according to the site I originally saw this on the dude died from his injury.

They have one in the parliament building in Finland too. Quite a nice concept, if your stupid enough to get crushed, you don't deserve to be a representative of the people.. Kind of like democratic Darwin Awards.

-Eia, which is strictly about Darwin Awards-esque behaviour, not actual evolution.

Technically this is evolution in action, but the eia channel is meant for people removing themselves from the gene pool "Darwin Awards" style. Otherwise any video of a living creature could be labeled as "eia".

In Hong Kong they have barricades that make this kind of stupidity that much harder to do without winning a Darwin Award.
