An Unexpected Accident Caused by a Popular Stag Do Activity

Accidents just happen and, at times, the best laid plans can still go awry. Though there are a lot of uneventful stag parties, there are still some accidents that just happen. Last May, there was such an incident. It is quite surprising that it took this long for justice to be served.

May last year, Ben Kirkey’s life was promising. He was about to graduate from Thompson Rivers University. A few weeks before graduation, he passed away after suffering from two different accidents.

What Happened Last May?

Kirkey first suffered a gunshot wound to his arm. He was shot by accident as a stray bullet hit his arm. Clay pigeon shooting or skeet shooting involves shotguns and clay disks. The clay disks are thrown in the air at different angles and varying speed.

The stag group were shooting clay disks that afternoon as a daytime stag do activity. Then, unintentionally, a stray bullet hit Kirkey’s arm. That shot wasn’t fatal, but he did have to go to a hospital to have it treated.

On his way to the hospital, Kirkey was in a car accident. He and his friend were ejected from the Dodge Ram truck and rolled into a ditch. Both of them were seriously injured. At that point, Kirkey’s injuries were already too severe. Though he did make it to the hospital, due to the nature of his injuries, they removed his life support, and then he passed away.

Other Unexpected Accidents

In another stag do, the group was already aboard a plane when it started to malfunction. Luckily, the plane did not take off just yet and the group walked out of the incident unscathed.

Accidents like these can always happen and no one really knows why they happen, but they just do. To think the stag group involved in those accidents were not even engaged in extreme sports. The same accidents can also happen during hen parties and no one can really prevent such things from happening.

It helps to be prepared for whatever happens. Make sure cellular phones are at hand and that you have the number of a doctor or hospital in the area.

Popular and Ordinary Stag Activities

Clay shooting is among the most popular stag day activities. Other popular stag activities include quading, buggy wacing, go karting, and paintballing. Each of those activities will always include the necessary safety gear provided by the activity centers. Even so, participants should be aware of the things that can go wrong and somehow know what to do in case such things happen.

Stag parties can be a lot of fun with those activities. Armed with information and some caution, all stags still get to enjoy their last moments of freedom no matter where they choose to spend it.

Mankini Ban and the Humiliation Involved in Stag Dos

The mankini is a costume du jour for many stag dos. The expression “different strokes for different folks” come to mind, but it seems as if a lot of stag do organizers still go for the traditional mankini ever since Sacha Baron Cohen wore one to promote his movie, Borat.

It is interesting to note that since the movie was shown in 2006, that has become the trend for stags on their stag weekend or stag do. Since then, stags were made to wear the dreaded mankini as they celebrate a wild night out of town and this has become even more popular for resorts that have become popular stag party locations like Newquay.

The Banning of Mankinis in Newquay

Known for being a fishing port and seaside resort in Cornwall, it is not surprising that a lot of stags choose this town as their stag party destination. In fact, local residents, the police, and tourists can say that they have had it with this type of “offensive clothing.”

Truth be told, a lot of stags will probably breathe a sigh of relief if they’re having their stag do in Newquay as the police just banned this piece of offensive clothing and other inappropriate clothing in the seaside resort. This ban isn’t without a good cause as it aims to decrease the recorded crime and anti-social behavior in town.

The local police superintendent, Julie Whitmarsh, did say, “They (mankinis) are just revolting, there is nothing pleasant about seeing anybody in a mankini.” Still, a lot of best men ask or force the stag to wear one for their last night of freedom. Even Wayne Rooney was not exempt from this as the Manchester United and England national team striker had to wear one for his stag do in Ibiza.

Ritual Humiliation, Going Wild, and Stag Traditions

It is customary for stags to celebrate their last night of freedom as some sort of rite of passage from being single to being married. Most of the time, it involves ritual humiliation, drunken revelry, and a whole lot of fun. At times, this also involves certain costumes and paraphernalia.

Some stags are forced to wear mankinis, dresses, or even other tight-fitting swimwear. As they wear such costumes, some stags are even forced to wield genital themed accessories. Evidently, there is constantly a ritual of humiliation involved in stag parties. If that is not enough, a night of drunken revelry makes a lot of stags more than willing to go on the wild side!

That seemingly typical stag night scenario aside, stag parties do not always have to be that way as there are stag dos that are a lot of fun even if they’re not as wild or not as outrageous. There are so many stag night activities that can make any man’s last night of freedom fun and memorable. Just think about it, it is way better to have a more civilized affair than to see photos of your humiliating moments on Facebook or Twitter!

Embarrassing Stag Party Ideas (No Cameras!) – NSFW

Stag parties have certain aims and objectives that must be upheld: 1) to get drunker as a group than you have ever been in your lives and 2) to embarrass the groom-to-be as horrifically as possible. While we’re pretty sure you guys can take care of the first one by yourselves, the latter involves a little bit more creativity. With that in mind, here is our compilation of the most embarrassing stag party ideas of all time. Pick your poison from the list below and begin preparing your evil plans to make your stag blush like a virgin in a whorehouse.

 

Little People Hire
As far as embarrassing stag party ideas go, this one is right up there with the best of them. Many stag parties opt to rent out a Little Person for the evening and handcuff him to the stag. You can ask him to dress in costume if you wish (we’d recommend kitting him out in the same clothes as the stag for maximum effect.) During the three hours they spend together, the little person has to do everything the stag does, including drinking. By the end of the evening, you’ll not only be carrying the stag home, but his partner-in-crime should be fairly tipsy too! Okay, you might want to allow some cameras for this one because we won’t lie, it’s pretty hilarious.

Quirky Suits and Costumes
A very popular theme in the world of stag parties, silly suits and crazy costumes are sure to rev up the embarrassment factor. You could all choose to go in-costume as a group, or save this particular shame for the groom-to-be. An increasingly popular costume-choice for the stag is a delightful dildo number. A rather flattering outfit, it comes in varying shades of nude and works well when paired with a bright-red face. Get yours from amazon now and make sure your groom doesn’t miss out on one of the most embarrassing stag party ideas since the dawn of time. He might feel like a bit of a knob (aaayyyy!) but the rest of the group will get a good laugh out of it.

 

Male Stripper
A twist on the traditional stag party activity, why not leave your mate red-faced and raging with you by organising him a male stripper? Take some time prior to the stag-do to plant the seeds of shame with this one; keep dropping hints to the stag that you’ve organised him a lapdance from a fine female, ensuring that he’ll be extra surprised when the beefcake you’ve booked walks through the door. (Maybe have a camera at the ready for this one too. You’ll never want to forget the look on the stag’s face.)

 

No-Show Stag-Do
This one only requires a little bit of pre-planning, and the best part is it’s free. Tell the stag to arrive at the venue earlier than the rest of the crew, leading him to think you’ll all be there at that time too. Let him stew there alone for a little bit, thinking that no one’s showed up for him. (Cruel, we know.) The embarrassment of thinking he’s dealing with a bunch of no-shows will quickly be swapped for the embarrassment of you and the lads barrelling through the door, twenty minutes late and roaring his name. This is one of the meaner embarrassing stag party ideas, but if it’s executed correctly, the stag will see the funny side. (Hopefully!)

 

Accommodation “issues”
If you’re taking the stag-party on tour, this embarrassing stag party idea is a must. When the group arrives to the accommodation, the best man/whoever organised the accommodation should take a couple of minutes to inform the groom that reception has no booking on file for the group. Enjoy the hilarious sight of him losing the plot for as long as you can keep a straight face, before finally revealing the truth. Nothing like a good old-fashioned blood-pressure spike to kick off a weekend of sessioning!

 

Roly-Poly
Another twist on the stripper idea, this one involves a little bit of cunning. First, you’ll need two strippers; the typical type, and a lady of a slightly, er, larger persuasion. Let the groom enjoy a little bit of a show from the proper dancer, before having her blindfold him for his personal lap dance. This is where the curvier lady comes in. Have the strippers swap roles and let the larger lady provide the lap dance, before the big reveal at the end *ahem*. This will work particularly well if the groom has had a few drinks as his senses won’t really be up to scratch, so he won’t cop on to the trickery too quickly.

 

The Lamp Post
An iconic stag party tradition, the lamp post prank is one of the oldest, most embarrassing stag party ideas in the book. We’ve all seen it; some poor lad with his jeans around his ankles, scarlet-faced, cable-tied to a lamp post and left to his own devices. However, the fact that it’s tradition doesn’t mean it’s not funny as hell for everyone involved… except the groom, of course. Just don’t leave him there for too long or forget about him. It gets cold overnight, y’know.

 

The Mankini
Okay, so technically this one could have fallen under costumes, but it’s just so funny we had to give it its own point. We’ll finish this list of embarrassing stag party ideas off with a lovely costume suggestion – the humble mankini. Just take a moment and imagine with us; the entire group of you, strutting to the bar like gangsters, cigars in your mouths, ready to go wild… led by a man in a lime-green, ass-baring mankini. We can actually feel the future shame of the stag from here.
