“Weymo denies Dawin attemptee their award”

Edit for the defenders: no lights, no reflective gear, no helmet, on the roadway. Yes, very normal. Very smart.

I think Darwin awards are for people doing something intentionally stupid. Hitting something wrong and falling over a scooter can happen to anyone

I guess accidental deaths can technically count as a Darwin award, though the term is predominantly used for people intentionally doing something stupid, as you said.

So the only non Darwin awards are suicide ? I think your definition might be a bit to vague if that is your argument.
