My physics teacher told me about a person who won the darwin award. The stiry went there was a construction worker finishing the brick layering and had extra bricks. About 180 lbs. extra. So he decides that he will lower it to the ground from the ground like an elevator with a rope. Keep in mind he only weighs 140lbs. The bricks lifted him off the ground and half way up the barrel full of bricks and him collided and he went to the top of the 4 story building. When the barrel of bricks hit the ground all the bricks fell out and the guy started to fall 4 stories. Lucky for him the barrel hit him half way to help brake his fall. When he hit the ground he let go of the rope and the barrel fell and landed on his head. :headache: people sure are smart.

that was on the show mythbusters. they had a lot of trouble getting the life-size (and weight) dummy to collide with the barrel of bricks. pretty sure they disproved the myth.
