'Battle dancing' kills Connecticut man

[CTFF 65]

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. — It's called "battle dancing'' and it's killed a man in Connecticut.

Police in New Britain say they were told Robert Stitt said he wanted to outdo a dance move another man had done by flipping in the air. The two were in a parking lot with a James Brown tune playing on the radio.

Stitt's friend says the 48-year-old man tried to do a forward flip, and landed on his head. According to police, Stitt went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Police say there were several people in the parking lot, drinking and playing the game in which people try to one-up each other with dance moves.

On the serious tone of things, at least it was his own fault instead of a murder with a gun.
