I think you can get a runner up if you don't manage to kill yourself but just seriously injure yourself.

Examples of Darwin award winners include juggling active hand grenades (Croatia, 2001),[6] jumping out of a plane to film skydivers without wearing a parachute (USA, 1987),[7] trying to get enough light to look down the barrel of a loaded gun using a cigarette lighter (USA, 1996),[8] using a lighter to illuminate a fuel tank to make sure it contains nothing flammable (Brazil, 2003), attempting to play Russian roulette with a semi-automatic pistol that automatically reloads the next round into the chamber,[9] and having sexual intercourse with a vacuum cleaner (USA, 2000).[10]
Northcutt's Darwin Awards site gives "Honorable Mentions" to people who manage to survive their misadventures with their reproductive capacity intact. One notable example is Lawnchair Larry, who attached helium balloons to a lawn chair and floated way too far above Long Beach, California, in July 1982.
