That's a great idea! I'll get the ostriches and buzzards. You get the pterodactyls and find a volcano with a lava troll living in it. It'll be AWESOME!Tim Latshaw said:
Man Tries to Play Real Life Frogger, Loses

It doesn't surprise me at all given some of the stuff "Xtreme Athletes" were doing in the mid-late 1990s and the turn of the century. It has died off quite a bit though. A lot of these guys used to incorperate wierd jokes and gimmicks into what they were doing, which included doing things like shooting themselves through traffic on zip lines, or breaking into skyskraypers so they could jump off of them in superhero costumes with parachutes (stationary object jumping, which still happens to some extent) and the like. I think Patrick Swayze's brother got in trouble for the latter in a fairly high profile incident at one time, though I don't think he was wearing any kind of a costume to make a show of his descent to people looking through windows.Salem_Wolf said:
Some dude frog hopping through traffic kind of fits in, and truthfully I wouldn't be surprised if we see more people doing it now, because even with the reduction of random "X sports activity" there are still plenty of people who will do things like this for the "lulz" with the danger and "rush" being part of the appeal.
As wacky as it is, it's similar to people climbing mountains and such for fun (very dangerous, with little point), it's just this kind of thing gets other people involved since a dude shooting himself in front of cars on a zipline or something puts the motorists and their property at risk as well.
Seriously how many of you have not done this yourself?
I don't mean discussing frogger before hand, but crossing a street outside of a sidewalk and dodging moving cars along the way?
Maybe if you don't live in a city I could see it, but I've seen hundreds of people doing this all the time (not on freeways though) and living to tell about it. I wouldn't try and cross a freeway (that is pretty stupid) but a main street with cars going 40mph+, I have done that before more then once. It's easier then walking 2 blocks or so each way to a cross walk when you park across the street from your desired location.
Jay walking is common at least where I live, and there isn't THAT much difference between jay walking and what the idiot did. The main difference is he failed and got hit...so basically he sucks at life...and frogger.

There's an entire internet award meme for that shit...Salem_Wolf said:
Like we couldn't see that coming, but alas, it is pretty funny and therefore, why the fuck would anyone in their right minds try it?
No, of course not! That'd be ridiculous!interspark said:
It is always the video game's fault. Always.
Action has to be taken before more people try to play frogger in the streets! It's a threat to humanity!
You don't seem to understand. It is always the fault of video games! We must outlaw all of these threats to people before other people fall into the evil clutches of them!interspark said:yes it is! one that can be solved by banning driving!!!Madmanonfire said:
OT: I hope this is not real. Otherwise, a new Honorable Mention for the Darwin Awards!

I don't know where you're getting these crazy ideas from. Try to keep it simple! Think inside the box! It's clear that if it weren't for Frogger, this man would never have been injured. Driving is completely irrelevant. It could've been a cat that hit him and the result would be the same!
As if it's ever the driver's fault in an accident... psh! You're so silly.
