5 Ways to Kill Yourself on a Snowmobile

1. Tailgating at 180 km/h Oh yes. This is a most excellent way to snuff yourself out. Whether you're kissing the bumper of your buddy's 4x4 or riding the arse of a fellow snowmobiler, get going as fast as you possibly can and as close as your snowmobilin' skills will allow. Want to make it even more exciting? Have the person you're following tap the brakes every now and again to test and exercise your reflexes. This is a near-guaranteed way to kill yourself on a snowmobile and, if you fail, at bare minimum you'll have some pretty cool scars to show-off (a fine way to impress the ladies, let me tell you). 2. See how far into nowhere you can go on a 1/4 tank of gas Since you can't exhaust the Search & Rescue resources by getting caught in an avalanche here in New Brunswick, why not send them on a wild goose chase by setting out on a long trip into futt-buck nowhere on only a 1/4 tank of gas. Drive that snowmobile as long and hard as you can until you hear the put-put-put of an empty tank. Once you're out of gas, set the timer on your watch and see how long it takes for rescue teams to find you. To make it even more effective, don't let anyone know where you're going and combine this with #3 and #5 (that Darwin Award is as good as yours!).
