Because that was an individual who had received some training, had a reason to be there performing that task, and did not through his own stupidity (ie forcibly gaining entry past multiple signs saying 'danger of death' accompanied by suitable pictures for the hard of thinking or non-english speaker) achieve the removal from the gene pool of himself.

Should that kid have been given a Darwin award? I don't think so.

Nope, the Darwin awards are reserved for those who spectacularly remove themselves from the gene pool through an act of unmitigated stupidity prior to procreation, hence the original crispy critter would only rate an 'honorable mention'

Perhaps you do understand "human compassion" when it suits, but don't want to appear "soft"?

Nope, the Sea Cadet was an accident, he didn't (as I stated above) break into a building surrounded by a razor topped fence with each step of his entry and progress presenting him with 'danger of death' signs in order to commit theft from a piece of equipment carrying 33KV. The sea cadet on the other hand lost his grip, fell overboard and drowned while performing a normal task on a sailing yacht.
You note the difference?
Sea Cadet = Accident, no darwin
Mr Crispy = Stupid, ignored multiple warnings, thought he knew better, Fried - Honorable mention.
