A Lee's Summit man nearly drowned Monday morning while trying to recover his keys at Longview Lake.

The Missouri Water Patrol gave the following account: The man, 54, used a garden hose as a breathing tube and jumped into the lake with a rope and a 20-pound anchor tied to his waist.

He went underwater once and came up without the keys. He went down a second time, lost the garden hose and ran out of breath.

A person on the surface realized something was wrong and pulled the man out with the rope. The victim was unresponsive for a short time but began breathing on his own. He refused medical treatment.
 
Darwin in action.
 
I wonder if he remembered to disconnect the garden hose from the faucet?
 
LOL .... someone call the Darwin awards people!

Depends on how rigid the garden hose was. But I'll bet it got pinched off pretty quick . . .
 
ROFLMAO
Stupidity has no limits.
Eventhough I'll repeat someones post: Superior candidate for the Darwin award.
