At-Risk Survivor
In spite of the fact that everyone was amazed and impressed by Walters’ flight and the fact that it was more or less successful overall, he was subjected to more than his fair share of ridicule as well. In point of fact, he was presented with a hilarious gong at the world-famous Darwin Awards, which honor people who have accomplished some pretty darn silly and dangerous things.
If that is even the correct word to use. As a result, Walters was bestowed the title of “At-Risk Survivor” at the awards ceremony that took place in 1993. It is true that what he had done was a little bit crazy, but he had obviously succeeded in doing it!
