Has anyone ever witnessed a "sux race"?

Sux, or Suxamethonium Chloride, or Succinylcholine Chloride, or Scoline is a powerful muscle relaxant used in anaesthesia. A sux race is when a group of people give themselves IM injections of sux and then race each other. The person who gets the furthest before collapsing with respiratory arrest wins. There needs to be other medically trained people around, because all of the contestants will need to be ventilated until the sux wears off (10 minutes or so). Its exceedingly dangerous but rumors are plentiful about these races taking place, I've just never found any evidence that such a race actually happening. If you could link a video to it, it would be even better! :D
