"Darwin Awards" or simply "Darwin Award" is an annual award given to people who died in the most stupid way or lost the ability to reproduce and, thus, faced with the inability to contribute to the gene pool of humanity.
The gene pool only gets better from this fact.
A prerequisite for receiving the award is the complete absence of direct descendants.
As the official version says: the prize is awarded for "the exclusion of defective genes from the gene pool of humanity", i.e. it can be awarded to living people who have lost their reproductive function as a result of a ridiculous idiotic accident that occurred due to their own stupidity.
But still it is worth clarifying, it is not necessary to lose the reproductive abilities of a person, only the loss of the possibility of using them is sufficient.
For example, there was a case of" handing over " an award to a criminal who was hiding from the chase and inadvertently climbed over the prison fence.
It is clear that after he climbed over it, he found himself inside the prison.
Nevertheless, there are also exceptions, for example: an old Belgian citizen who died so absurdly that even the presence of grandchildren was forgiven him.
It is noteworthy that there is a film "Darwin Award".
This movie is based on the work of Dan Simmons.
The film was released in January 2006.
In the story, former police officer Michael Burrows, who suffers from fainting from the sight of blood, and Siri Taylor (an employee of an insurance company) investigate the cases of people who have become Darwin Award nominees.
They are going to various cities in order to find out whether the company should pay an insurance benefit for these deaths.
Among their clients: a fishing enthusiast who accidentally killed a friend; an office manager who died under a fallen candy vending machine; a man who put a rocket engine on his car, and then took off and slammed into the mountain with great speed, and many others.
The main characters are accompanied by a cameraman who shoots a documentary film, but does not interfere in anything because of the ethics of the documentarian.
For your information, in the film, several cameo cameo roles are played by members of the Metallica group and writer Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Also in the film starred Jamie Heineman and Adam Savage, famous hosts of the TV show "Destroyers of Legends".
They got screen time in the part about the rocket engine.
