Faldt over den her på darwinawards.com. Godt nok er der ingen døde mennesker, men alligevel et pænt forsøg! Desværre står der ikke noget om hvordan forenden blev revet af, men jeg formoder at personen har taget den med sig... ouch!
(September 2001, Virginia) I work in a motorcycle shop. We see many who have no business being behind two wheels. But the owner of a bike brought in for service really takes the cake.
The entire front end had been ripped off, which is an odd damage pattern. The owner offered the following tale.
He had allowed the motorcycle to sit idle for several months. When he attempted to start it again, the wait had drained the battery. Undeterred, he attempted to bump-start the bike. A manual-transmission vehicle rolling with sufficient speed, popped into second gear, will often start right up, and this is called a bump-start.
The owner lived at the top of a long hill. After a number of repeated and unsuccessful attempts to bump-start the bike, he was left with another problem: a stalled bike sitting at the bottom of a long incline.
The man called his girlfriend to bring her truck and tow the bike back up the hill. A length of rope was procured. One end of the rope was affixed to the truck's bumper, and the other was affixed to the waist of the bike owner "riding" the stalled motorcycle up the hill.
They set off, she in her truck and he on his bike. All was well until he chose to make one final attempt to bump-start the motorcycle. As soon as the clutch engaged, the engine turned into a brake. The bike stopped cold. The owner did not.
His girlfriend was blissfully unaware of what was happening behind her and proceeded to drive to his house, dragging him slowly behind her.
Despite his injuries, he is expected to recover.

jeg havde ikke undret mig over et sagsanlæg mod enten mc producent, forhandler af rebet eller sidst den pågældende kommune for ikke at lave længere bakker.. (find selv på flere latterlige grunde, som sikkert ville blive forfulgt i US )
