Dorset's entry for the Darwin awards...<br />
<br />
This 'idiot' father auditions for the Darwin Awards as he clambers to the top of a huge rock fall beneath unstable cliffs and turns around to give his young daughter the thumbs up.<br />
<br />
The man, who was in his 20s, was one of at least a dozen people who stunned coastguards by ignoring warnings to inspect the 2,000 tonnes of rock that slipped without warning from the 150ft cliff at West Bay, Dorset.<br />
<br />
The sandstone cliffs which featured in the ITV crime drama Broadchurch are incredibly unstable and prone to sudden rockfalls at any time.<br />
<br />
An enormous yellow sign has been put up to warn people to 'keep clear of the cliffs' but this seems to have done nothing to deter them from putting their lives at risk.
