Darwin Award Attempt Ends In Failure

Motorists in a flood-hit town have been risking their lives by using a bridge which is in danger of collapsing.

Calva Bridge in Workington has been closed to traffic since it was damaged by floodwater.

However, three vehicles were spotted driving across it on Thursday after occupants removed temporary barriers.

Personally I’d say let them get on with it, they’ve been told the bridge is condemned and could collapse at any moment. They can’t say they weren’t warned.

If they want to take that risk to save 45 minutes driving time who are we to stop them..

I can’t say it’s on my list of ‘Things That Are Worth Risking Death For’ but some people have different priorities.

And some people are also morons.

  1. Especially given that someone has already died on another bridge. But no, getting to the pub to watch Yoonited is of major importance.

  2. It does indeed beggar belief, esp as you point out someone died trying to stop people doing the self same thing.

    But as I say let them get on with it , if it takes a few inbred mouth breathers out of the gene pool so much the better
