Honorable mention has gotta be Lawnchair Larry, who rigged helium balloons to his lawnchair, got tracked by norad and finally landed in power lines after accidentally dropping his .22 from the sky (and therefore his ability to timely shoot out his balloons.)

Guy had a ham radio, a sandwich, and beers with him on the trip. No wonder he dropped his pistol. Two pilots spotted him as he got into commercial airspace. So finally he lands and it takes out the entire neighborhood electricity for a couple hours. He finally gets down from the power lines. Is immediately arrested. They go to take his pilots license away. He doesn't have one. Gets fined 1500 instead. Does it again sometime later, spawning a few copy cats to do the same. This was detailed in an old Darwin award email chain write up on the honorable mention category, because, as you said: still alive by the grace of God. The write-up by darwin award staffers was particularly funny if it can be found.

' Does it again sometime later, spawning a few copy cats to do the same. '
And still no-one died - not even from the multiple copy cats. Thats my point. It negates the reason for a Darwin award. Darwin has the implied distinction of causing an individuals death in such an obviously retarded and overtly negligent yet preventable way that even a downs syndrome would baulk at following. These are 'irresponsible fools that lived to tell the story', an polar opposite of a true 'darwin award'.

As much as I loved him, Steve Irwin taking a stinger to the heart is definitely in the top ranks. If he'd been as careful with that stingray as he was with snakes and Crocs he might still be alive.

The 2 pakis and anti White CEO on the tinpot submarine. One was an experienced man who said "yeah I know I could die", the second was a millionaire amongst the 5 who had seen the world and also admitted he didn't fear death.
The CEO pilot, his billionaire friend and the billionaires 19 year old son didn't even know how stupid they were being.
The billionaire could have built something himself far better but it would have cost more than the 500k he spent, also remember the "submersible" only cost 1.5 million USD to make. He literally paid one third of the price for his oceanic coffin with his son.
He could have spent 25 million USD on a better water craft and pilot. Chump change for a billionaire.
Pure Darwin Awards top 3 at their finest. The 19 year old is questionable because he was probably scared and shitting his pants the whole time but nonetheless he did board that idiotic can of death.

The muslim rat suicide bomber Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly who in Stockholm in 2010 has six pipe bombs on him but only managed make one of them explode. He injured no one but himself. He died a while later.
(must be many similar cases though)

Top 3…
Tie for any social media "influencer" that dies doing something for "clout". (Ex. Riding in a car and hitting a sign, falling off of buildings/cliffs, shooting themselves on accident, etc.)
