In most countries, on average, women live longer than men. Why is that? Well, these pictures have a good idea as to why men don’t last as long as women. They are dangerous! These are just a few examples of the precarious situations they get themselves into.
1) Who Needs Shoes?
This guy didn’t bother with wearing shoes to work. It’s not like he’s working with power tools inches away from his feet. There’s a reason that steel-toed shoes are recommended for construction workers.
2) Don’t Tear The Leather
Though this strategy might work out for them, it’s a risky one. I don’t know if the couch is going in or out but either way, that dude on the bottom could see the end of his career and his car.
3) The More You Look
The more that you stare at this picture, the worse it gets. The ladder is propped up on the tree. The part of the tree that the guy is sawing off. I guess he is planning on jumping off as the tree falls.
4) Mentos And Coke
This is what happens when men find out there are Mentos in the house. They create rockets. On this particular occasion, that rocket hit the cameraman in the face. Which of course is a plus in his eyes. Great footage!
5) Even If It’s Not Loaded
Ask anyone who knows anything about gun safetly and they’ll tell you that you shouldn’t point a gun at your face under any circumstance. Yet, this guy thought it would be a good opportunity for a selfie.
6) What’s Going On Here?
This one is confusing but it ends with an explosion. If you think about it, most guys want everything to end in an explosion. That’s why action movies are so popular. The more chaos, the better.
7) So Many Questions
Not sure exactly what’s going on here but this guy is being picked up by a crane. That can’t be safe. There’s no basket or anything, he’s just hanging on by the neck of his jacket. And they call this a rescue.
8) Hope He Doesn’t Get Shocked
This guy is putting a lot of faith in this ladder. If he leans a little bit forward then he’ll fall off the top of this building. But he doesn’t look scared at all. I wonder how these guys always do this so fearlessly.
9) Missing Something There
He’s missing more than a few screws. He’s also missing his clothing. Who goes out on their porch without clothes and who does construction work without clothes? The answer is this guy right here.
10) Trust Your Friends
You know what’s least trustworthy than a ladder? Your friends. There may be three of them down there, but it would only take one of them messing up for this guy to fall two stories onto tile floor.
11) Lighters Are Boring
Why use a lighter when you can use a torch to light your cigarette? I mean, what better place to smoke than a room full of flammable tanks and substances? No wonder this guy doesn’t have eyebrows.
12) Double Whammy
This group of workers thought it would be a good idea to eat lunch in a room where it is advised against. There’s actual poison in the air, apparently, that you should not consume. But go ahead and have a potluck dinner.
13) He’s Not Resting
This dad was actually zooming down this water slide. Since he isn’t a child, he went right over the end where most kids will stop. He ended up on the ground covered in mud. It wasn’t a pretty sight.
14) Professional Scaffolding
Not only are these men working on this less than standard scaffolding, but someone is building it as they do. If that needs a screw then they shouldn’t be on it. And they definitely shouldn’t have a chair on it.
15) Anything Can Happen
This hurts. The are laying under a car without jack stands and one of them is even directly under the wheel so he’s not coming out if their jack gives out. This must be the most painful one to watch.
16) Just Like A Video Game
People climb across ledges like this in video games all of the time, so why not do it in real life? Oh, because in real life, you take fall damage when you fall. But at least this window washer is trying to be efficient.
17) Not The Chocolate
I can’t tell if this guy can leviate or if he’s falling in this photo. The chocolate is down, and I see nothing under his feet. Unless he’s hoping that wine will hold him up. The short answer he’s looking for is no.
18) Not For Adults
What happens when a full-grown man rides a little kid’s toy car down the wet streets? He crashes into the first object he comes to. That’s what happened this time and that’s what will happen if another man tries it.
19) Who Was First?
How did any of this happen? The guy on the ladder in the water is a puzzle and so is the one in the bucket. I don’t know how any of them got there or how any of them is getting out of this situation.
20) Worse Than Happy Gilmore
This older gentleman decided it was a good day to wrestle a crocodile. So he threw a towel over him and straddled him. I don’t know how it ended but the whole fight was pretty ugly. There was definitely blood.
21) Who Hasn’t Done This?
Nearly every college kid either did this or knows someone who did this. It starts with an office chair and ends with a few stitches. It’s never a good idea and everyone knows it, yet it still happens.
22) What Was The Target?
For some reason the dad looks proud and the kid looks scared. They were target practicing and someone didn’t learn his bow safety very good because that shoulder shot could have gone really wrong.
23) Spot The Bicyclist
If you look closely, you can see this cyclist who rode down this giant mountain with ease. He made it to the end without injuring himself but everyone else was on the edge of their seats.
24) Can’t Get Good Help
This isn’t a hired worker, this is the tenant’s son who cleaned his mother’s windows for Mother’s Day. This is the only way that he can find to do it so that’s the way he does it. Although, if something happened to him, I don’t think his mother would be very happy.
25) Must Be A Good Rope
This worker is trusting the ladder, the rope, and his coworker. I hope that they are getting along because if not, there could be an accident that would change everything. At least they are brave.
26) How To Test Puddles
This dude decided to jump into a puddle without testing it first. He realized that we are far beyond Bruce Almighty’s puddle with this one. When this man jumped he nearly went under!
27) Nothing To See Here
This guy decided it would be a good idea to try the old basket on one end, human on the other trick. Only in this case, he’s several stories high. He caught on a couple of obstacles, but he did make it.
28) What Could Go Wrong?
This team got hot and tired and took a break by lifting their CAT up to sit under. Not their best moment but at least it did work. Let’s just hope they are faster than gravity because this can’t end well.
29) That’s Why The Door Won’t Close
Ever wonder why all of a sudden your front door doesn’t close all the way anymore? You have to give it a good push and hold it up to lock it. That’s because people like this guy do things like this.
30) You Spin Me Right Round
This man laid himself down at the top of this esclator and had fun spinning around. To be fair, it was pretty funny, but if he would have spun out of control, he would have toppled down the escalator.
31) Stay Hydrated
This isn’t the best way to drink water on the golf course, but it is the most entertaining way. The kid is going to need some aloe for that grass burn but at least the cart didn’t run over him.
32) Maybe Use Another Hand
It’s really great that he has a friend to hold the ancient ladder up while he paints but you would think that this friend would at least use two hands. I don’t think that a fall like this is covered by work insurance.
33) That’s Pretty Extra
You gotta admit, this is extra. They went through so much trouble and spent so much money just to do this. I’m not sure what their goal is but I have a feeling scaffolding or an approved ladder would be a better choice.
34) Pika-What?
This guy thought he could pull off a backflip off of this tree like a ninja. That was bad enough, but he dressed up like Pikachu to make things more interesting. In case you’re wondering, he fell flat on his back.
35) Gotta Have Air
These men are getting brave. This guy is using a ladder the wrong way and doesn’t even care. He’s standing on the edge of it to install an air conditioner, with his life resting in the hands of his friends.
36) DIY Bling Teeth
They were probably drunk when they did it but the fact that they did it doesn’t change. These two spray painted this guy’s teeth silver. That stuff doesn’t wash off so easily and when it does, it will definitely poison you.
37) Should Be Sturdy
This sign should hold this guy up long enough for him to do his job. At least with this one he’s only a few feet above the ground instead of dozens of feet. I feel like we can let this one slide, although it could end it a painful break.
38) Guess What Happened Here
What happened? Well, This is what a firework fail looks like. They wanted to see if Captain America’s shield could shield him from these fireworks. Considering this one isn’t adamantium, it did not work.
39) Military Men
If you’re wondering what military men do when they’re not training, wonder no more. They do their own sort of training that would even impress the famous minutemen. Yep, it actually works.
40) Masks Are For Chumps
Why wear a mask when you can just take it like a man? This has to leave burns because there’s a reason you should wear a mask and let me tell you, sparks and metal shrapnel are no joke.
41) At Least It’s Something
After seeing that last guy, this one isn’t too bad. He’s wearing some sort of protection, even though it’s a plastic jug. It’s much better than nothing, even if it does melt on his face and he has to get it peeled off.
42) He’s On His Own
Usually in these situations, there are friends helping and encouraging. But in this case, he’s doing it all alone. Maybe having friends help out isn’t such a bad idea after all, because the alternative is way worse.
43) Spider Climb Master
This is impressive, but easy to disrupt. One wrong adjustment and he’s a goner. Not to mention he’s changing the light bulb while it’s still on. Doesn’t he know you’re supposed to turn the light off first?
44) Need More Seasoning
This can’t be good for you. I’m thinking infections and smelly skin. But that’s if he doesn’t eat them. Chances are, he had at least a bite or two just because. That’s what men do and it explains a lot.
45) Barrel Of Monkeys
This crew looks like a group of G.I. Joes or action figures. They were probably cheerleaders in high school and make amazing pyramids. Which all comes in handy if they are going to survive fixing this light pole.
46) Did Someone Say Splat?
If you flinched when you saw this jump then you’re not alone. This guy jumped off the deck and “into” the pool. Or at least he tried to jump into the pool. I’m glad this is a still shot and not a video.
47) Someone Needs A Pickup
This team was not prepared to move this appliance and yet they did it. The guy on top is wearing sandals, having trouble keeping his pants up, and could slide off at any turn. But it’s better than buying bungees.
48) Is He Going To Need A Marble Now?
This looks like a Mousetrap or contraption example from the ’90s. This guy was probably good at that game and now has a job working construction. He’s used about five ladders when he really only needed one.
49) Let’s Do This
Is there a way to make this ladder less safe? Of course, set it on Home Depot buckets and two-by-sixes. You’re also not supposed to stand on top of ladders like that but you know, that’s the least of his worries.
50) Seems Safe Enough
Safe enough for a man if this list is any indication. I hope that the board and pole are at least nailed to the ladder. Although if not, I have nothing but respect for this daredevil because that is what I call skills.
