Man Accidentally Killed When Posing As Piñata For Kids

POSTED: 8:27 a.m. EST December 19, 2003
MEXICO CITY -- A 24-year-old Mexican man is dead after reportedly playing a human piñata for some children.

A newspaper, Reforma, said the man was standing on a beam with a rope loosely tied around his neck and ropes tied around his hands and feet.

He was letting his younger brother and sister swing at him with sticks but lost his balance while trying to avoid being hit. He strangled when the rope tightened around his neck.

Fark.com had one yesterday about a man who died of thirst in the desert. The fact he had 80 liters of water with him at the time of death... well, there's another darwin winner for ya.

For some reason I'm betting it was heat stroke and not thirst if it's true to begin with.

A BRITISH tourist who died of dehydration left 80 litres of water when he walked away from his bogged vehicle and into the Great Sandy Desert.

Thomas Henry Sykes, 35, of London, died on Friday at a medical clinic in the remote Aboriginal community of Punmu, in Western Australia.

Mr Sykes had been trying to drive hundreds of kilometres east towards Alice Springs when his hired four-wheel drive became bogged.

The vehicle was found on Thursday, but when Mr Sykes was seen near Punmu on Friday morning, after walking 60km in up to 40C, he was unconscious. He died a short time later in Punmu medical clinic.

Mr Sykes' death, and the rescue of a second British tourist at a remote beach north of Broome on the same day, have prompted calls for greater education about the dangers of outback travel.
