Some people are born ready. Others… hold a friend's foot while they hang in the wind and call it "top safety".
Welcome to the Hall of Fame for folks who definitely skipped physics class and maybe common sense altogether. These are the photos where people looked danger in the eye and said: “Eh, it’ll probably hold.” Spoiler: it didn’t.
This is not just a photo collection; it’s a tribute to bold misfires, beautifully bad ideas, and the kind of confidence that comes only from not thinking things through. It's the fine art of looking danger in the eye… and blinking.
So grab your hard hat (you’ll need it for laughing), and scroll through a collection of “Don’t try this at home” moments that defy logic, OSHA, and the laws of gravity. Yeah, you’ve probably seen some dumb people, but you’ve never seen them like this.
