Basically yes, if you have a child you can still get an award.
But! categories that are exluded due to being to common:

While this isn't necessarily the case here, as they technically climbed out of their own protective cage into the larger cage, it could be argued the key point is the same, thus no Darwin Award.

Simple when you read the rules...
Well that is dumb. They should just rename it the dying in a stupid manner award then.

Yeah...you don't turn your back on a tiger. That is pretty much just asking it to attack you.

My favourite one is shooting yourself in the head to prove your gun isn't loaded doesn't get you a Darwin Award because it's too common.

I remembering reading somewhere that farm workers in India would wear face masks on the back of their head to prevent Bengal tiger attacks while working in the fields

How often do you imagine this will come up in future fights between these two? I'd guess often.

"I don't know why I didn't call to say I'd be late. Remind me why you left the car in the tiger park?"

"Maybe I did leave the seat up. Ask your mother if you should've had a look first. Oh right, you can't, because you got out of the car in the goddamn tiger park"

And he never has to go on stupid day trips with her mother again. Probably got an entire lifetime of Sundays back.

Good day for that dude.

I'm going to broadly generalize about one point three billion people here, but in my experience, chinese people don't handle arguments or conflict very well. They go from 0-100 really quickly and get extremely emotional.

I suspect it's because there are very few "micro-arguments," you know that moment when you give someone a "watch it buddy!" Because they're in your way or where you throw the finger at a driver or pedestrian? Not something that happens a lot in Asia. People don't have experience with getting mad, expressing it, and then calming down again, so interpersonal conflicts get wild in a hurry.
