Dumbass Dies Imitating Jackass Stunt
News Edition: 09/24/2005
WEST RUTLAND — A Shrewsbury teenager, who police said was trying to imitate a stunt from the MTV television show "Jackass," was killed Sunday evening when he jumped from the car he was driving.
Vermont State Police said Monday afternoon they are treating the death of Adam E. Page, 19, as an "apparent accident."
Page, his friend, Adam Cota, 18, and two other unnamed "area juveniles" were "executing a pre-planned 'stunt,' which they said was an attempt to be like the MTV show, 'Jackass,'" according to a police press release.
Police said during the stunt, Page was driving a 1995 Subaru Legacy station wagon around 6 p.m. Sunday.
Police said Page was driving about 30 mph south on Quarterline Road in West Rutland when he turned on the car's cruise control, opened the driver's side door, and intentionally jumped from the vehicle while it was still moving.
Page's body immediately struck the pavement, rolled and came to a rest in the road, police said. Cota, who police said had been filming the stunt while seated in the front passenger seat, then grabbed the steering wheel to gain control of the car, police said.
The other two unnamed juveniles were seated in the back of the vehicle, one of them also taping the stunt while hanging out the driver's side rear window, police said.
Police said Cota was immediately able to turn the vehicle around, and drive back to the spot where Page's body was in the road. Police said Page was "unresponsive" and the teenagers called for an ambulance.
Police said Page was taken by Regional Ambulance Service and died while on the way to Rutland Regional Medical Center.

If MTV had a show where Jackass actually played russian roulette, I imagine there'd be two or three deaths across America from that.
Ha ha ha, I'm just now remembering how many of us kids used to set up crude ramps and run our bikes over them......all because of Evel Knieval.
