WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) -- A Schofield man who fell of the top of a van in Rib Mountain has died.

 

The Marathon County Medical Examiner's Office says Thursday that 33-year-old Matthew Fitzwater died of blunt force trauma to the head and neck.

 

WSAW reports Fitzwater and another person were carrying a box spring and mattress on top of the van on Wednesday afternoon when the ropes fastening them down came undone.

 

Authorities say Fitzwater tried to sit on top of the mattresses to hold them down, but he was blown off and hit his head on the pavement.

Now picture the story unfolding before you on the highway:

Hillbilly on top of a van, riding a mattress like Falcor, when it takes off into the sky and flips end-over-end, flinging him onto the unforgiving asphalt, while possibly screaming "Yee Haw".

I have seen this done before. I was on Livingston Ave back around 87-90 and a guy was driving a olds cutlass with a mattress on top and a guy was laying prone on top of it.
