Jackass inspired stunt kills German
BERLIN, GERMANY: In all the name that is holy, one might think teens would learn their lessons from prior Jackass like stunts, and never perform them again.
We can only hold out hope. According to German police, a 20 year old German student only identified as Tobias is dead this weekend after a lethal Jackass inspired stunt off of a merry go round ended in a big splat after he plunged face first into the ground.
Police told Daily News [translated] that ‘Tobias’ was taped to the merry go around while one end of the tape/rope was tied to a car in which the boys friends reportedly were in and pressed on the gas to make the merry go round spin even faster.. which ended in a bloop and his death.
German po-po’s are weighing manslaughter charges against the unidentified teenagers. A quick internet check by Daily News also notes that the group identified themselves as the Bavarian Dumbasses [ironic]
