And wot's sad..this is TRUE (most of the Darwin awards aren't)
MEXICO CITY -- A 24-year-old Mexican man is dead after reportedly playing a human piņata 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.
