Some OSHA regulations seem sort of strict and ridiculous, but some really bad safety fails make you concede the point that some rules are there for a reason. It's non an enviable situation to be in to have a boss who wants you to do some sketchy-ass moves just so you can replace a light bulb, but we've been there.

Here are some quick fail gifs to make you reconsider trying anything. We've got a baby elephants trying to get a scratch, a kid trying to shovel dirt, incompetent soldiers trying to throw a grenade and more. For more failure gifs, here are some miscellaneous fails that left people worse for wear.

There you are, just minding your own business. And all of a sudden, a helpful sign tells you that there is a monkey. The sign doesn't tell you where the monkey is, just that it's around. And that it bites. And if you try to fight, you can't win. That's just one of the signs. What else is out there?

Some days are worse than others. Most likely, your day was good enough that you can find some comfort in seeing how comically worse it was for someone else.

Don't let OSHA find out.

Don't let OSHA find out. Or the union. They'll have a kitten if they saw these places. So much for employee welfare. Some of these solutions to get to hard to reach spots to work are pretty clever. Most are just massive safety hazards waiting for a lawsuit to happen. But sometimes people have a one track mind, and just need to get done doing whatever they need to do, caution and common sense be damned. This guy knows all about when common sense goes out the window.

The desire to laugh at other peoples misfortunes is something that's deeply rooted in human nature. We love to watch people do stup*d shit only to fail miserably, provided that they aren't TOO badly injured. 

That being said, it usually REALLY sucks when those hilarious things happen to you.
