Doofus Of The Day #514


Today's winners are from Changsha in China.

An amorous couple were forced to put the brakes on their moment of passion after accidentally sending their car shooting through a 60ft-high rooftop crash barrier.




The couple from Changsha, Hunan province, southern China, had driven to a lay-by on a rooftop car park for a few minutes of intimacy in what they thought were safe surroundings.

And as the loved-up pair's clinch began to get steamy, the two decided to keep the engine running on their car so they could make use of the air conditioning.

But in the heat of the moment, Qiao Hou kicked the car into reverse, sending it lurching backwards towards a horrifying 60ft drop.

The pair were saved from a deadly fall when passers-by were alerted to the screams of 43-year-old Hou's girlfriend, Lili Tang, who could be heard yelling terror as the car dangled from the rooftop.

Witnesses managed to get to their aid and pull the couple from the car, which was only stopped by its exhaust catching on the broken barrier.


There's more at the link.

I suppose it could certainly be described as the 'height' of passion . . . but it's a rather mechanical variation of coitus interruptus, wouldn't you say?

And knowing the Chinese government, they'll probably be convicted of something and sent to some remote camp to make goods for Wal-Mart for the next twenty years.
