The Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives: by eliminating themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chance of long-term survival.
The Darwin Awards can be considered a rusty chromosome award for those who douse the gene pool with chlorine.

Responsible Gun Owner’ Blows Off His Own Leg After Turning His Lawnmower Into Exploding Target

Source: Addicting Info per Atlanta Journal Constitution

Successfully proving that we will kill ourselves before ISIS ever gets the chance, a patriotic gun owner decided that the only way to make shooting his lawn mower better was to also rig the lawn mower to explode. What could POSSIBLY go wrong? The short answer is – a lot.

David Presley loaded up an old lawn mower with three pounds of Tannerite , which is a compound used to create exploding targets for use on shooting ranges. There’s no legitimate need for a target to explode, but hey – ‘Murica! Right?

Presley clearly didn’t read the instruction manual. Sheriff Joe Chapman told local news that you are supposed to use less than a pound of the explosive compound if you want to make an exploding target and you need to stand at least 100 yards away from it when you shoot.

Presley opted to use the 3 pounds and stand 25 yards away. The ensuing blast of liberty deprived Captain Dumbass of his left leg below the knee.
