It's bold moves like these that convince people why women live longer than men. A shout-out to all the bosses who have told us "just do it it'll be fine" or "we've always done it like that" and made us climb backwards up a ladder balancing on piles of oily rags. Anyway here's safety failures that would give OSHA nightmares.

If you're into stupidly redundant construction decisions, shirts that accidentally say "anus," or signs for businesses that also accidentally say "anus" than you've come to the right place. Let's be real, some design can use some extra thought, and some of it, like these magazine layout fails, are freakin awesome.
You might wanna turn your sound down for this one. Anyone who's operated a forklift before is gonna see some glaring mistakes going on here. Number one, even attempting to lift tons upon tons of weight like this with multiple forklifts is already a kinda sketchy move. Things really start to turn when you see those masts not getting tipped back. Crap like this is a decent reminder that the safest place to be in a tipping forklift is inside that damn forklift. Here are some safety failures that would give OSHA nightmares.
Don't let the world fool you, almost everyone is doing a bad job all the time. Whether you edit news and magazine layouts or have ever designed stuff that needed extra thought, there are a monstrous amount of failures performed by everyone every day. Sure, it might not be your fault. Sometimes life just hits you with some misfortune. Anyway, here are some from folks who had one goddamn job.
Construction worker Jason Haney is out here restoring our faith in humanity. He acted on an idea to cheer up hospitalized children by creating an 8-foot-tall cutout of Where's Waldo, and hiding it on site everyday for the kids in the Memorial Children's Hospital in South Bend, Indiana. It's people like this that make us think there might be a little hope left in the world after all.
Does it make you go crazy when something is just a little bit o ff? Well then .prepare to feel awful while looking at this big bunch of poorly measured architecture and improperly consumed food. If you want more uncomfortable images to neurotically scowl at, then check these out.
Gotta risk it for the biscuit. Well, you don't necessarily HAVE to risk it. Sometimes putting on a safety harness would take an extra 5 minutes and that doesn't seem worth it. Anyway, here are some non-OSHA approved dudes in precariously hazardous situations. And here's some more safety fails if you're interested.
What happens when people don't review their work? Misplaced toilets, stairs to nowhere and advertisements that look like living nightmares. Some of this stuff was planned, but still turned out to be crap anyway! And boy are we glad it happens.
The truth is, this stuff is child's play. Here's some darker and dirtier design fails to really get your motor running.
Gotta love these stories. You get to enjoy the drama without having to have actually "witnessed the event." It's all fun and games until you compromise the safety of everyone around you. Not surprisingly, commenters weighed in with their own feats of room-clearing strength. If your in it for hilarious fart-themed stories, try this bombshell moment on for size.
Ever had a boss that wanted to do something you knew was stupid, like standing on a ladder supported by a second ladder, supported by something on wheels? And you're like "I think this is unsafe" and he's all "this is how we've done it for years and nothing bad has happened, I mean except that one time." Man, screw that noise.
