"VANCOUVER, British Columbia - A man was recovering in a Vancouver-area hospital after an attempt to film a mock hanging as a stunt accidentally became the real thing, police said on Thursday.
The 23-year-old man thought he had protected himself by wearing a harness when he went to a suburban park on Wednesday to have a friend record him dangling lifelessly from a tree, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.
"Unfortunately things did not go as planned and the male was unintentionally hung from the rope he had placed around his neck," according to a police spokesman who said the friend initially did not realize anything was wrong.
Neither man was trained as a stunt actor, according to the police statement that added: "The 'Don't Try This at Home!' disclaimers on commercials and movies are there for a reason."
WTF, Dude?
A different man performing the same stunt, but the right way

there's a right way? Michael Hutchence should have had a word with him then....
why would anyone want to do that?
Your wonderment is the reason we all look at these buffoons and ask, "WTF? Dude", Cyn.
