When Beer, Stupid Choices, and Karma Collide on a Mattress

Today I want to tell you about David Monk and friends. 

After having a few beers, the friends had a funny idea.

"How about we steal a safety crash mattress, carry it up the hill, and slide down the hill on it?"

No sooner said than done. David and his friends set out to dismantle the protective mat and trudged through the snow to a small hill to put their plan into action.

Full of joy (and alcohol in their blood), they started. They positioned the mattress and slid off.

Unfortunately, you can steer very badly with a mattress, the men must have thought, as they…as they crashed into the very barrier from which they had removed the safety mattress before.

David died on the spot and thus secured himself a place in the Darwin Files.
