Darwinism at work on the island of St.Maartens:

A thrill-seeking teen on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten was blown away -- literally -- when she was catapulted backward while standing on a beach next to an airport runway as a plane took off.

Tourists and locals at the half-Dutch/half-French island's Maho Beach, which is famous for its close proximity to Princess Juliana International Airport, regularly seek a cheap thrill by standing as close as possible to the runway as planes fly over the beach, taking off and landing. The beach and the 7000-foot runway are separated by a thin, two-lane highway.

Tourists with beers and cameras often hold tight to a nearby fence as the jet engines that can easily produce winds of more than 100 mph whiz by. One teenage girl was no match for the roaring engine and went airborne — her head slamming against concrete — as a JetBlue plane took off. The video shows the teen with her arms flailing and hair going wild in the wind. She quickly goes airborne and crashes, head-first, into a low wall. The girl, whose name and age is unknown, is reportedly OK after the incident, but she has a deep gash in her head. Another teen tourist reportedly broke his leg

You too can get blown to Hell if you visit this paradise.
There are dozens of Youtube clips showing many fools doing this. Thinning the herd one blast at a time.

1. Not sure if teens getting hurt and potentially killed is funny.

Yes, it's a stupid thing to do, but "thinning the herd" wouldn't be so funny if it were my kid with the head injury and others were laughing at it.
