It is no easy task winning a 1v3. You must jump many a hurdle, bettering three armies, the smallest.
Aye, no mere man may win an uphill battle against thrice your men, it takes a courageous heart and will that makes steel look like copper. When you are that, then, and only then, may you win a 1v3.
Things like this are why everyone should use drugs at some point in their life.
Not only would they get some valuable life experience and stop upholding ridiculous legislation but they would also learn from their ecstasy research that you can die from drinking too much water.
For fucks sake. I thought people would have got the idea that drinking too much water = bad after that frat boy died after some retarded prank where his college buddies made him drink loads of water.

You act like that's a singular incident and that it hasn't happened numerous times in the past.
Over hydration is not exactly a well known cause of death, though I would have at least expected the radio's lawyers to research the contest before hand. Maybe they did and it's all covered under the waiver she signed.
Maybe its just me, but drinking enough water to kill yourself is almost as hard as holding your breath till you pass out. Maybe I just lack self control.

Has anyone seen "Bringing Out the Dead"? If you have, you'd know this is possible within the first 10 minutes of the movie. It's a good movie too.
Anyways, I do feel bad about the whole thing. Reminds me of how I camped out to get a Wii and I wonder what I would've done if I hadn't used the store's bathroom 15 minutes before it closed.
This sucks. And who thinks up this kind of contest?!
Wow that radio station is going to get sued off the face of the planet.
I can only picture this if the radio station is the one that regulated how much water the person had to drink. Otherwise, it seems more like suicide.

When I had kidney stones, the urologist told me to go home and drink "a crazy amount of water; just keep drinking" in an attempt to push the stone out.
I went home and drank about 4 to 5 litres of water in a couple of hours. No sign of any stone; not even any pain. Instead, I developed a hangover-like headache and started feeling dizzy, at which point I said to myself, fuck this!, and stopped. Sure, I was peeing most of it out, but even so, as I understand it, excess water consumption can still mess up your salt levels.
The next morning I called and spoke to the urologist's receptionist, who presumably deals with this kind of situation on a regular basis. I asked her what was the safe hourly limit when drinking water. She said, "I don't think there is an limit, is there? So long as you're able to pass it out, you can really drink as much as you want."

Well I think the radio station only stipulated that whomever goes the longest without peeing wins. If you hold your pee long enough, I'm pretty sure you will die. Seems likely to me this death is related, which means that radio station will be hearing from lawyers.

Yeah. I agree. Lawyers will be involved, no doubt.
This is one case where calling in the ambulance chasers might be justified. The woman was stupid to take place in the stunt, but the radio station should have done their research first. Most people would assume that if the radio station asks you to do something to win a prize, they have done their research to ensure it won't kill you.
That said, I don't know all the details of what the radio station asked people to do, but I assume they asked them to drink an insane amount of water without going to the toilet... which is a pretty stupid thing to do.

Ybarra said before the contest, he did not read a liability waiver form handed to him by station personnel before signing it. Ybarra said he was surprised by the physical toll he felt after the contest.
It killed a mother of 3! It turns our children into drug addicts!
It was given to the Jews in concentration camps.
We were shown that site in school one time, most of the room were all "OMG howe are this poison legel?!?!" and I was just laughing at them for being retards.
I'll have to read up on Water intoxication. I drink 3 to 4 gallons of water a day, at least 2 of which are during work in a office.
Yeah, going to have to call bullshit on this...
12-16L of water per day?
Here's my water bottle,
4 gallons might be a little high unless it's really dry out, usually I hit 2 to 3. However I also take creatine and lift so that helps.
After reading the wiki though I'm going to have to make sure to get more salt. Before taking creatine I used to drink this much and some times I'd get light headed when standing up, which the doctor thought was low blood pressure.
Back on topic, "Headline: Video game maker Nintendo kills mother of three? By not providing enough Wii's to the public, innocent people are participating in dangerous stunts to procure one. Leading to the death of a young woman." 2 minutes to pop that crap out, I'm sure good old Jack will come up with something. Or perhaps some new Jack wannabe.

I was there for this, and you had to sign a waiver saying that whatever body harm was your own damn stupidity...I feel bad for the lady, and her family.

Not being a retard is nice.
I saw this stunt on Penn & Teller's Bullshit once... Was it their idea, or were they aping this site? Either way it was pretty funny to see a bunch of activists sign a petition to ban water.

That's where I learned about it, read a story about some girl dying on her b-day because she drank way too much at once.
To the person who was asking if it was Penn and Teller who came up with the thing about the ban for H20, I'm fairly certain I had heard of people doing that long before I saw that show. Just to show that people don't really pay attention to what they're signing off on.
I read the comments to the Joystiq article, and now I hate humanity again.
Poor grammar and spelling aside, this woman was bloody stupid. Please forgive the Internet for not shedding a tear when some pillock kills herself in an attempt to win a $250 appliance.

It's a good thing we can handle more salt than a small family of bears.

Are you dead?
Because if not, I think you're ok.
You may want to cut back a bit, but I think the more important part is that you're not drinking, you know, a gallon at a time...
2 gallons over 8 hours is still a lot, but I doubt it's crazy dangerous.

Quite a challenge.

At first, I thought "3 to 4 gallons doesn't sound like too much"... then I found out that a gallon is 3.8 litres.
15 litres a day is a crazy amount. You must live on the toilet or something.
