I don't see why some people dislike the term darwin awards.
It's not like we live among predators anymore,natural selection must still do it's thing.
Others dive in Yellowstone for an acid bath,others do headshot selfies, some cut the branch they are sitting on and some carry charged batteries in the same pocket with coins and keys.
It's not like he didn't know how batteries work,he charges them everyday.
I'm not a fan of the Darwin awards. That being said, it's about common sense blunders and I really don't think battery safety falls into the same category as cutting off the branch that you're sitting on.
As far as humans and natural selection is concerned, watch Idiocracy. Scariest movie ever made.
