turn it around ... if someone is is terminally stupid enough to try something like this, 
then you are simply helping evolution along by encouraging termination of a genetic 
line that has culminated in produceing someone defective enough to actually attempt 
something so obviously terminal (in a earlier time, they would probably already be 
eaten by something more successful then they)

what was the url for the "darwin awards" again ....

but then again, the space race was started by a ancient chinese who strapped a early 
rocket to his back (from a recent discovery channel special on personal space 
vehicles) ... needless to say that line terminated at the top of gravity's rainbow.  on the 
positive side, during the pilots last moments, he was treated to a view that no human 
had ever seen before ...
