Baptizing stand-ins for dead people doesn’t seem like a hazardous activity, but Daniel Dastrup of Las Vegas recently sued The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for medical expenses after injuring his back performing about 200 baptisms on Aug. 25, 2007. Lowering volunteers into a pool all day apparently became arduous: “The then 25-year-old claims some of the young men and women he completely immersed in water in the name of the dead weighed as much as 250 pounds,” reports the Salt Lake Tribune. Dastrup says he wasn’t allowed a break, though he twice asked for one, and the day after he performed the baptisms, he could not sit up. A church spokesman had no comment on the case.

Somewhere floating around is some satire about JS not hearing God right when he said, "Baptize the head" not baptize the dead.
