My only issue with concepts such as the Darwin Awards is that they do not reflect upon whether or not the deceased has reproduced. To attribute darwinism to lethal mistakes is meaningless unless we know whether or not the deceased has a child.
Some person with children who dies on an idiotic way has done more for evolution than the still alive and childless me.
Darwin Awards rewards people who are no longer able to reproduce, not taking into account any previous offspring. It'd be pretty hard to discover whether the subject of a random newspaper article had children or not.
