I thought the point of a Darwin Award is a death that happened in the most outrageous circumstances.
Giraffes are generally quite docile animals. Giraffe Manor is down the road from where I live and we regularly take our kids there to feed the giraffes.
Disclaimer: not my family in picture. We are much better looking.
It's lovely, but somewhat overpriced. They really cash in on the "once in a lifetime" idea behind it.ScarfaceClaw wrote:My wife has wanted to go to Giraffe Manor for many years.

He did ignore the safety instructions and not treat a bloody great giraffe as though it was a wild animal. Might not have been oblivious as the Japanese tourists who attempted to sit on a Hippo, though.Anonymous. wrote:Not a Darwin in a million years.assfly wrote:Not sure if it's a Darwin Award candidate.

i have seen a few dozen of those vids (gore) on multiple sites where an idiot with a phone gets killed because he was wither not paying attention or trying to take selfies with dangerous animals..fishfoodie wrote:One thing I'm starting to appreciate about smart phones, is they're usefulness is culling out the less smart members of the human race.YOYO wrote:Not as bad as this poor guy.

The whole selfie thing is remarkable efficient at wiping out whole swaths of cretins
A British woman and her Australian partner have fallen to their deaths while taking a selfie on a wall at a beach in Portugal, according to local media.
The tragedy happened on the Praia dos Pescadores near Ericeira on the country's west coast.
The head of the rescue service at Cascais port near Lisbon, Rui Pereira da Terra, told the Lusa news agency that it was suspected that couple had been taking a selfie on a wall above the beach.
He said: "Everything seems to indicate that the fall happened when they were probably trying to take a selfie.
"Since we found a mobile phone on the wall, everything suggests the victims might have been taking a selfie, when they allowed the phone to fall, leaned to grab it and fell."
One Portuguese newspaper reported that fishermen discovered the couple's bodies at about 6.30am.
The Jornal de Noticias reported: "At first the fishermen thought the corpses, from far away, might be people sleeping on the beach.
"Only when they got closer did they realise it was a dead couple and they were shocked with what they saw."
The couple have not been named but some reports say the woman was aged 30 and the man 40.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesperson said: "We are in touch with local authorities following the death of a British woman in Portugal and are providing support to her family."
The spokesperson did not confirm the nature of the incident or say how the woman died.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Australia said it was providing consular assistance to the family of the Australian national who died.

Lack of knowledge and awareness I presume. My Brother-in-law’s ex-wife lost her sister in the same way in South Africa, Lake St Lucia in 2000. Just an awful experience for the family.True Blue wrote:Wasn't there some kiwi lady that took a swim in some croc infested lake in Queensland and was eaten for her troubles?
