This doesn't have the juice of the actual Darwin awards. Show me the AI equivalent of the couple who had sex during a lightning storm and were struck - the woman died, the man's penis wss fused inside her, and he had to watch while a bear ate her face. Or the group who went dynamite ice fishing and their spaniel retrieved a lit stick of dynamite and hid under their truck.

Having bad security or engineering and losing a bit of money does not compare.
