Real life game of “Frogger” lands man in hospital

According to police, a 23-year-old man was attempting to recreate the game “Frogger” when he was hit by an SUV. Insert video game “woo woo woooooo” sound.

Cops said the Clemson, South Carolina man was aping the game or possibly a famous episode of “Seinfeld” during his venture.

The police report says that the man was discussing the game “Frogger” with friends when he decided to try it out.

The man then allegedly yelled “GO” and ran in the middle of a four-lane highway.

The driver of the SUV will not be charged. It’s unclear if the man was on any substances when coming up with this idea.

I played and, in the interest of full disclosure, am quite good at the game “Frogger”. But I can’t imagine I’d ever think that skill-set would translate to real life applications. Well, unless I were guaranteed three more lives. If they ever wanted to bring back the show “Nick Arcade” that would only be the next logical step. I’ve always thought that game needed more of a Thunderdome vibe.
