Dumb Move

In the early 2000's a man by the name of Wilbur Gentry had a job scaring people at a haunted house. He was to scare people when they rode by on the back of a hay truck. Certain he can do it better, he climbed up a tree and took the place of a hanging skeleton that was rigged to drop down when the caravan passed by. Wilbur carefully arranged the ropes to make sure his feet touched the ground so he wouldn't accidentally hang himself. When the caravan approached, he leaped from the tree. The branch whipped back and choked him to death anyway.
