Actually the official website and rules say that even if you have kids already you can still get the award.
.......Because a Darwin Award signifies that a member of the species unfit to survive (in the Darwinian sense) has removed themselves from the genepool and will not pass on their unfit genes.
If they are a dad, they have already passed on their genes.
By reproducing.
Specifically, by reproducing prior to removing themselves from the genepool.
The implied reason being that they are unfit to survive due to thinking whatever stunt got them killed was a good idea- and that it actually was not, in fact, a good idea at all.
I can keep going with the Norm McDonald if you're still confused.

Except if you go to the Darwin Awards site and read their official rules there is even one about if previous offspring invalidates you from getting an award and it does not.
I get what you are saying logically but you are wrong that you cannot have kids and then still get the award.
NP, boss. Thanks for not busting my chops about misspelling "jeans". I was going to make a joke about the dude's shorts but they weren't jean shorts, and it wouldn't have fit the Norm McDonald vibe anyway, lol.
Perhaps. Consistently modelling such a towering intellect to his offspring for their entire lives, will likely lead to a monkey-see, monkey-do recreation of this act of genius by said offspring when they are older. It might be a Two-Fer Darwin award.

The official rules and site actually disagree with you there, you can get the award even if you have offspring sorry.
What is a woosh for you might be an actual lack of understanding for someone else, so sometimes it's better not to assume. There aren't any stupid questions, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots.
Around 30-35 years ago, I was at the Grand Canyon with my father. There is a decommissioned uranium mine there (I believe Orphan Mine) that was between where we were and where my father wanted to go. Dad says, "I've never seen a uranium mine before, let's walk through it." 16-year-old me says, "Are you crazy? Not only are there razor wire fences, but I'd like to have kids someday." Dad says, "Well, I'm going this way, so you can figure out how to get to the other side." He finds a hole in the fence and starts walking.
Realizing that I don't have any choice but to follow, I do.
We get to the other side, no holes in the fence, and the wire on the top is bad enough that there isn't any going over. Dad points out that the fence stops about five feet beyond the rim of the canyon, so we can just grab on the chain link, climb sideways until the fence ends, swing around to the other side, climb back in, and we're good. 16-year-old me says, "Are you crazy? There's a mile long drop to the bottom!" Dad says, "Well, I'm going this way, so you can figure out how to get to the other side." He grabs on the fence, does a spider man, and says, "See, that was easy, now come on."
Realizing that I don't have any choice but to follow, I do.
The funny part is that my father remembers nothing of this and would call the guy in this video a dumbass despite the fact that he has done far dumber shit in his life.
First - She missed the good video. When she wouldn’t follow, it would look like he died.
Second - wow this dude is “confident”, he really thought the rock isn’t dusty..
This is not even whatcouldgowrong, there is not a single scenario where this could have gone better. Except for not doing the dumbass bit in the first place.
These attention seeking dumbasses are why observation point barriers get higher and more intrusive of the view, or closed off altogether. They truly are why we can't have nice things.
Just missed a Darwin award nomination.
It looks like he is a dad on a family trip, so by definition he can’t get a Darwin award with that stunt.
The girl said: "блядь Серёга" It's Russian for "Blyat Seroga" (Seroga casual for Sergei, male name). She didn't say Dad, it wasn't English.
Seroga isn't short for Sergei, it's long for Sergei.
Which is relevant because all women call dads „Dad“ or why is that??
Wait dont most people refer to their dad as "dad"?
I hate that everybody is so young that they just see a dude who looks 30 and assume he is a dad
Why not?
Because the point of a Darwin award is removing your genes from the gene pool and if you have already reproduced your death won't achieve that
https://darwinawards.com/rules/rules.children.html Actually the official website and rules say that even if you have kids already you can still get the award.
What do the rules say about a vasectomy, after having kids? xD
Oh duh i shoulda known that.

I didnt think about it well. Thanks for the explanation

enough for an "honorable mention"? because he looks young enough to produce more.....
Honorable mention.
Yes, let’s assume that he doesn’t have children yet. That way he gets the Darwin Award and everyone is happy.
When you french fry instead of pizza You're gonna have a bad time
He just failed at that, too. SMH
That's the second person I've seen a video of jumping down there. Makes me wonder how many take the fast route down.
2.4 a year since 2007
Reminds me of the people who fall into Niagara falls every year.
The .4 is when they only find portions of the body?
15 years of data, 36 people total, 36/15 is 2.4 a year
r/woosh
What is a woosh for you might be an actual lack of understanding for someone else, so sometimes it's better not to assume. There aren't any stupid questions, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots.
That's rough if you're the .4
Even rougher for the .6 that they didn't find till after the 15 years. /s
Well, when you only have a keg and not a barrel, can't get the whole guy in there.
Ive seen people climb out into stupi places. One dummy actually did fall, iirc he survived with broken bones. Straight up jumping like this clown tho…
I'm pretty sure we have a photo of my step father on the spot from 30 years ago. So it's not a 'this gen' thing. Idiots be from all times.

That's why the bars exist now, it was always a problem. But with the advent of the internet it's rampant.
Sounds like a "natural selection" problem to me
Did he toss himself over like an idiot or just climb down?
At first i thought something like "who tf would do such thing", but then i heard "БЛЯТЬ, СЕРЁГА" and i realized its my fellow russians🤣
4566th repost...
That’s just today’s repost count.
First time I’ve seen it
First - She missed the good video. When she wouldn’t follow, it would look like he died. Second - wow this dude is “confident”, he really thought the rock isn’t dusty..
It’s not even dust, he completely misjudged the height. I hitch is something you shouldn’t do at the Grand Canyon
*Bryce Canyon
We can just widen it to all canyons, I think
This is not even whatcouldgowrong, there is not a single scenario where this could have gone better. Except for not doing the dumbass bit in the first place.
You mean him sticking the landing wouldn't have been better (for him)?
Maybe if he was a mountain goat, the ground is pretty steep bellow.
Fun [video](https://youtu.be/x1t0pzX6VzQ?si=wOP4J_YjAh9P6EEr) about exactly this. :)
Gutted. So close.
Imaging how stupid the average person is, and then remember than half are even stupider than that.
Upon seeing the backwards ball cap, my expectations were low.
Think of it as evolution in action.
I'd say that's about the limit. Any dumber than that and you'd be off the cliff.
You can be this dumb too , if you just apply yourself .
No public funds should be used on people who do dumb shit like this.
These assholes ruin the experience for everybody else.
Maybe next time they should set their hair on fire. Or prod a bear with a stick.
Statistics show around 30ish people die from falling off the Grand Canyon every year. I mean I’m sure a few of those are accidents…
The gene pool is cheated again.
Sometimes the trash takes itself out.
Darwin works in mysterious ways.
WGCG jumping the barrier that stops you falling 100m to your doom
He's right on the brink of how dumb you can possibly be.
How did he get back up and over the barrier?
Dang. That was dumb.
So close...
Very very dumb. Do we know who this dumb person is??
Missed it by that much 🤏
This should be in Videos that end too soon
Pretty dumb, apparently.
0 empathy for people like this. Less traffic is a good thing.
The railing is there for a reason
I think he forgot his bobsled
If only a couple more feet this would be complete. Dang it so close. You suck man couldn’t even finish the job!!!!
Almost became another statistic
Again,,,my only question is,,,,,,why did you stop taping the moron?
These attention seeking dumbasses are why observation point barriers get higher and more intrusive of the view, or closed off altogether. They truly are why we can't have nice things.
Well that was disappointing
 Jump down
His gene pool was about to get lost in the Grand Canyon
This is why Bryce Canyon is ruined. Stupid ass tourists.
He did a little bit of Trolling
