"Dumb Skull", Way to Die #292, is the eighth and final death to be featured in "Death Watch", which aired on January 27, 2010.
Plot[]
Buck and Joe are two adrenaline junkies, and nothing gives more adrenaline than racing their two off-road vehicles (Buck is on his four-wheeler and Joe is on his off-road motorcycle). These two wannabe adults play a game; they stand 4 meters apart, rev the engine and drive towards each other. The first one to turn loses. In one of the rounds, Buck dodges Joe and falls out of his four-wheeler, frustrating him.
Not having much brain activity under the helmet, Buck takes advantage and then turned his head to insult his friend about one of their close calls while doing another round, but when he turned his head forward again, he realized too late that he was heading toward a tree branch. The tree branch slammed into his chest, causing him to fall backwards, breaking his skull, neck and cervical vertebrae, killing him instantly.
