A boy fell from a roller coaster ride at the Cypress Gardens Theme Park in Central Florida. Apparently the boy deliberately escaped from his restraints then stood up while the coaster was in motion on a dare from his friends. He’s in the hospital with multiple injuries. The ride does not appear to have malfunctioned.
Sounds like another possible candidate for the Darwin Awards.

Darwin Award candidates must have killed themselves… this guy isn’t on the list, at least not yet.
John,
I started a discussion of the media coverage of this incident compared to incidents on Disney property on my blog. http://irishwake.typepad.com/irish_wake/2006/02/is_disney_held_.html#comment-14450062
