Definitely a candidate...

Also..."He removed his shirt, removed his billfold ... someone shouted a warning and he said 'blank the alligators' and jumped in to the water and almost immediately yelled for help," Price said.
The autopsy shouldn't take long. "Primary Cause of death: Eaten by Alligator. Secondary cause of death: Stupidity."Judge Price has ordered an autopsy.
Hey, maybe the guy mis-read the sign. Commas can help with meaning.
The sign said, "No swimming alligators". Maybe he thought the sign meant there were no swimming alligators in the water.Last edited by mjr; 07-06-2015, 04:08 PM.Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.Comment

LL - Are you saying that the reporter left out the requisite quote? As in "Hey! Watch this!"

No, I'm saying that calling this a freak accident does a real disservice to genuine freak accidents. This was a situation where you could see this outcome coming from a mile away considering he was firing it through a mortar.Quoth EricKei View Post
And he played Gaston at the parks? Methinks he took his character role a little to seriously.

Actually, the coverage I saw went tinto more details.
Apparently he was joking around (which he had a reputation for) and had no intention of actually setting it off on his head.
But the lighter got too close to the fuse and... Ouch.
Still *stupid*, but not a case of injury due to what he'd *planned* on doing.
I could see myself doing something similar when I was younger. But not with the lighter *lit*. That raises things from "Silly, but safe" to "one slip and you're history".
He made that one slip.Comment

Interestingly, I actually went to Maine in the early-mid 1990's. My first and only trip there.Quoth Racket_Man View Post
It was during Summer, around July 4th. And at the time, the only legal fireworks were those "sparkler" things, if I recall correctly. They had a fireworks show, but that was put on by the city.Last edited by mjr; 07-08-2015, 10:57 AM.Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.Comment

I still stand with my original statement. Granted the slip was not intentional, but he still had a functioning charge properly loaded in a mortar and had a lit lighter that he was waving around. As such, still planned idiocy.Quoth ComputerNecromancer View Post I AM the evil bastard!

I read about this on "treeware", didn't try the links. Wouldn't be surprised if he had put the shell (without the tube) on top of his head. His mother wants tighter regulations on fireworks? Captain Obvious would say "Don't get drunk and put fireworks on your head". Some people would find a way to injure themselves with the party horns that unroll when you blow into them.
