    Can we please wait until someone dies, first? That makes the whole thing so much more enjoyable and satisfying. Is there any better feeling than laughing at dead morons? Not in my world.

    Cheers. - Frank

    P.S. How long before someone recommends this an an Olympic event?

    I'm sure the Russians who swim in frozen lakes look at this and think amateurs.

    I'm pretty sure, if you're the type who has to be told not to defenestrate yourself into a pile of snow, you're not going to listen.

      The snow has to be at least 6 metres deep before Claude dares to try it.

        Yes, only a matter of time before some moron gets crippled for life or can't have children because he slips?

        This reminds me of the AU moron who got drunk and dived into the shallow end of his pool on his wedding night!

        Of course he was in a wheelchair for life, and the weekend away was history!

          We had a similar incident here not that long ago. A guy jokingly took a standing dive into his kids' kiddie pool. His hands slipped and he broke his neck. Now paralyzed for life.

    I'm not sure if we should stop these morons. Stops some really mutated genes in their tracks. Good population control..........let the people not smart enough to survive go.

      I second that one.

      Except if one dies, their surviving family is going to sue whomever owns the sidewalk/parking lot that broke their fall.

      And probably win.

        I saw a video of someone pretending to "swim" in his backyard yesterday. The guy jumped off a step stool, dove in fairly flat, then made all the swimming motions. At least I have to give him some credit for not jumping head first from a higher point.

        All of these crackpots just want their 15 minutes or seconds, as the case may be, of fame since someone is filming them and uploading to the Net.

        Why anyone wants to be famous for being stupid is just not something the rest of us can understand. Besides, there is no way I'm putting on a swimsuit in this weather. Right now we are well below zero degrees here and Northeast Ohio is -17 when I checked the radar.

          In Au, we have morons, aged 20 something or younger, riding on the outside of our trains, for a YouTube plug.

          One last year got drunk, got on top of the train, (in AU, we have the live 240 volt receiving lines up top, taking in the current from overhead cables) and naturally he touched a live line and died!

          It sounds like Youtube has indirectly killed of maybe hundreds of morons over its lifetime.

          In some cases a good thing, but in other cases not so good!

            I think the snow jumpers should go up to at least the fifth floor before diving to the ground. We could name the sport 'thinning the herd'...

              As the Russians can demonstrate here Kay, it may need to be higher.



              Mind you I do wish they had more GoPro's among the lunatic fringe element there.

                I think the snow jumpers should go up to at least the tenth floor before....

                There - that should do it.

                As for the two guys running through the snow in jockeys and socks - how can anyone look that dumb and that geeky at the same time? Is that one for real?
