Darwin award

Here is possible all time Darwin Award winner

Man is rescued not once, but twice during heavy flooding

UPDATED: Wednesday, April 30, 2014 - 9:03am

NBC NATIONAL NEWS — A Mobile, Alabama man is lucky to be alive after being rescued not once, but twice from raging flood waters overnight.

Early in the evening, a mobile police officer had to rescue the man after his vehicle became submerged in rising flood water.

Not too long after that, the man tried to return to his vehicle but was once again overcome by the swift current.

He had to cling to a tree for about 30 minutes.

Mobile Fire & Rescue arrived on the scene and a firefighter swam out to the stranded victim and put a life jacket on him.

The other fire-rescue workers then quickly pulled the firefighter and the victim back to safety.

Fire officials say the man not only put himself in danger, but also rescue crews

They should charge him 100% of the cost of the second rescue. He can't be a Darwin candidate, he survived.

Yep. He needs to try a few more times until he finally succeeds.

This guy needs to adhere to the adage:
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
