1 The winner of the 2000 Darwin Awards is posthumously known as Jumping Jack Cash, whose foolish exploits you may have heard about.
2 The scene of his stupidity was the Grand Canyon, to which thousands of tourists flock every year.
3 The canyon contains some particularly steep drops, around which fences have been built to prevent sightseers plummeting to their deaths.
4 Close to some of the drops are small towering plateaus onto which you could jump if you were feeling very brave.
5 Tourists like to throw coins on to the plateaus, some of which pile onto the surfaces, while others fall to the valley floor below.
6 Jumping Jack Cash leaped over to a plateau on which was a huge pile of coins and he filled his bag with them.
7 He tried to leap back but his bag, which was now full of coins, prevented him, and he plunged to the bottom.
