A woman attempts to board a Boston subway escalator while riding on her motorized wheelchair. It’s OK to laugh because nobody was injured in this act of blatant stupidity. Animated gif here.

Athlete Christian Vasconcellos might not have had the best day ever when he wiped out in the middle of a run – but that didn’t stop him from turning his epic fail into an epic win.

An irritating force meets an immovable lamp post. This reporter was clearly having fun badgering someone on camera until he was the one who got owned live. Thanks a lot cameraman.

How do you explain a meme like Pedobear? This report ironically calls it a bait used by pedophiles to lure victims, then it claims that it’s a way for pedophiles to… identify each other? WTF?

You might remember us featuring a little video that showed how to successfully outrun coppers. Well here’s another short but sweet clip detailing how to not go about fleeing the long arm of the law.

Don’t worry, there’s nothing too gruesome in this clip from Youtuber ashomsky. Just a 1000 fps peek at the punishment that even the smallest of falls inflicts on these skateboarders and their gear.

Next time you park, you might want to check your surroundings carefully. You never know when a tractor might have a mind of its own and start ramming cars like this one did at Wal-Mart.

Australian gymnast Joel Pocklington never travels without his video camera; to our horror and delight he’s crafted a madcap compilation of face plants, belly flops and runaway stunts. (Thanks Stephen!)
