Of course, he can't drive either, which doesn't help...

And then, his sh*t-eating grin as he's standing there afterwards, knowing that at that moment, he's the undisputed world champion of stupidity. I wouldn't loan the man the keys to my riding mower after that little stunt.

Most wrecks are caused by a lapse of judgement. Very, very few can truly be considered completely unavoidable "acts of God".
