Things That Seemed Like A Great Idea At The Time

You know what it’s like. You really can’t be bothered doing a job or a chore, or perhaps you don’t have the right equipment to hand. So, rather than being sensible about things, you get this bright idea in your head to cut some corners. We assume that’s also what the men in these images were thinking when they got involved in some crazy and unbelievable situations. From a bucket ‘helmet’ to go motorcycling to riding bikes along the sheer sides of a cliff! We’re not sure if these guys are really brave or completely stupid. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Everything here is just so wrong. Where’s mom when you need her?

It’s interesting to note that these fails were all the fault of men. There are no women in these images at all in fact. Is this because females are more sensible? Maybe. Is it because guys are inherently more willing to take a risk? That’s perfectly possible. What’s most likely is that it’s just down to boys being boys and doing what they feel like when women aren’t around to protest! Whatever the explanation, there is a strangely daring – or could that be insane – subset of men who do this stuff. And, we really enjoy looking at their funny and badly judged mishaps! Keep on scrolling. 

How’s he going to get back down again?
