Haplessly Lobbying for that Darwin Award

Texting while walking, woman falls off pier.
"Miller’s husband and a 19-year old bystander jumped into the water to help her reach a ladder that led back to the top of the pier. A police officer also used a flotation device attached to a rope to help guide the group to the ladder. "
All, A-OK.
