Upvoted just for the irony.

- davidmurphy 16y agoReally?> You're saying it's a shame she didn't die? Come on, that's going too far.
- benatkin 16y agoBesides, she could still get an honorable mention: > Northcutt's Darwin Awards site gives "Honorable Mentions" to people who survive their misadventures with their reproductive capacity intact, by luck or chance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Awards#Examples http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Awards#Examples (Except her injury was unremarkable, even with the pedestrian walkway nearby.)
- janj 16y agoIs it really going too far? With over-population being the root of most of our biggest problems, I'm starting to think things in general could be much better if we had many more people dying, why not start with the stupid?
- pigbucket 16y agoFor one, there'd be a serious danger of getting caught in a self-referential paradox
- philk 16y agoWhen someone does something incredibly stupid and then has the temerity to sue others for their stupidity it's really hard to wish them anything but ill luck.
- benatkin 16y agoThe article doesn't say when it happened, AFAICT. I also don't know how well they take care of the path. Might the path have been covered in snow?
- decadentcactus 16y agoFollowing the article to searchengineland says she used it January 19, 2009. So winter, as well as the off chance the path didn't exist. Unfortunately common sense didn't work for her either.
