There is no such award, but if there were, it would go to a man who parked his large van next to a steep drop. There were three people onboard at the time.

This incident occurred in the Geoparque de Granada, near Gorafe. The man had parked his van with his wife and two children so close to a sizeable drop that he was too scared to try and move it.

Consequently, he called the emergency coordination centre, 112 and the operator told him to get himself and his family out of the van, immediately. They then despatched the Guadix fire service to recover the vehicle from its perilous perch.

They first stabilised the bank a little before winching the van back from the edge, which was dangerous because if the van went, it could have taken the fire vehicle with it.

Editorial: they should have just shoved the van over the top, given the wife and kids a lift home and told the driver to walk.
