It’s possibly even more ridiculous than this.
From Sky News:
A young man has died after crashing into an oncoming car while "surfing" on a sofa being towed behind a van.
Francois Halle is believed to be the first victim of a craze called "couch surfing".
The 22-year-old was riding on a sofa, which had been placed on top of a sled and tied to the back of a van in Canada.
Mr Halle was killed when the driver lost control and the sofa swung into the path of a car going in the opposite direction.
A 21-year-old man has been accused of dangerous driving, causing death, fleeing the scene of an accident and criminal negligence causing death, CBC News has reported.
I’ve never had much of a sense of adventure, but surely there are less idiotic and dangerous ways for adrenaline junkies to get their fixes?
Then again, maybe it’s just natural selection in operation?
Yes, I think a Darwin Award is certainly in order here, Michael.

Well spotted, John. I'm forever on the lookout for these pesky spammers and Rahul has been giving me a lot of unwanted attention recently. Bless 'im... it must be quite demoralising... no sooner has he posted a comment with his spammy link, he turns around and finds out I've deleted it.
ReplyDeleteHe'll learn sooner or later. :-)
I've seen people in Jamaica hanging on to the back of lorries and sort of hitching a ride using a skateboard - bloody dangerous IMO
