Darwin Award

The Darwin Awards are an unofficial honor recognizing individuals who improve the gene pool by removing themselves from the population through notably foolish or reckless actions, often resulting in their own death or serious injury. The award highlights the irony of hazardous behavior leading to unintended consequences, ultimately illustrating how such acts can eliminate less cautious traits from future generations. While not an actual prize or organization, it serves as a darkly humorous commentary on human error and the importance of safety and common sense.
