Research from Ohio State University showed cellphone use by pedestrians led to more than 1,000 emergency-room visits nationwide in 2008.

In March, a 45-year-old woman had to be rescued from Lake Michigan after she fell off a pier while texting and walking, police said.

"When people are talking on cellphones, texting or even listening to music, unfortunately, they're not as aware of what's going on around them," said Police Lt. Mark Farrall in Newark, Del.

See, that's the fucking problem: everybody's all about Darwin Awards and shit, but we've got to stop doing it on a delay fuse.  Start with preventing morons from procreating, not wait decades for their spawn to fuck themselves up.

Never has tainting the gene pool been taken so literally.  Seriously, walking off a pier?

Depends on who is using it, and if it looks like they're holding or not.
