Garry Hoy

Garry Hoy was a Canadian lawyer who became known posthumously for his fatal accident in 1993, when he attempted to demonstrate the strength of a building's windows by throwing himself against them. The window frame failed, resulting in his death, and he has since been referenced in discussions about the Darwin Awards, which honor individuals who inadvertently improve the gene pool through their own reckless actions. His story serves as a reminder of the often tragic consequences of misguided demonstrations of confidence.
