Stupid people have an uncanny ability to fall ass backwards into money. Remember that woman who sued McDonalds because she put her coffee between her legs while she was driving and then got burned by it? Well this guy certainly has a leg up on her...

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A Manhattan jury awarded $2.33 million to a man who lost his leg after drunkenly stumbling onto the path of an oncoming subway train.
Dustin Dibble, 25, landed in the subway tracks after a late night watching a hockey game at a bar with friends April 23, 2006. A downtown N train ran over him, severing his right leg.
Awarding stupid behavior sets a dangerous precedent. Imagine the army of morons that will inevitably come out of the woodwork and attempt to get hit by trains and boats and bicycles and amusement park rides with the hopes of getting a payday. Stupid people in general are bad enough, but stupid people with money are much, much scarier.
Sorry about your leg, Justin. But 2.3 million can buy a lot of beer. And a fast car. What better way to take your mind off of things than putting back a few and going for a nice ride...
