Only two days into 2008 Perth already has a contender for the Annual Darwin Awards:
Man, 20, breaks neck on tragic pool accident
A 20-year-old C-- man has died after breaking his neck in a horrific backyard accident last night. Police were called to the A-- Road house about 6:30pm after the man's parents came home to find him face-down in the family swimming pool. It is understood the man had climbed a backyard fence to dive into the pool when he slipped and hit his head on the edge of the pool in the fall. The force of the impact broke his neck.

I know it was hot yesterday (we went for a swim, too) but this takes the cake for stupidity. Did this man never read Silly Billy stories as a kid?
