"Shelly" expounded:

DARWIN AWARD? How so? He kicked a stuck branch. Potentially dangerous.
Stupid. So are you saying you've never done something that others would say
was potentially dangerous and/or stupid?

What you've described above is exactly the criteria for the Darwin
Aware.

Also, if you look at the poor man's name (Rigoberto Martinez, 20, of Long
Branch NJ), you may wonder if the fellow was an immigrant from Mexico.
Maybe he wasn't trained properly on how to safely use the equipment?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist, in any language, to know you don't
stick your foot in a running branch chipper. Of any size.
