Photos Where Something Bad is Going to Happen Next

You can't hit pause, it's already too late

When you fail hard, you remember that forever, and the next time you see someone attempting what you did, you relive that all over again. You might even try to stop them from making the same mistake, but it's already too late. And it feels awful. But sometimes, you don't need to fail hard to know things are not going to go the way people think. You can just tell by assessing the situation.

But assessing the situation is not for everybody. Especially not construction workers who work in extra safe environments, for some reason. A lot of people like to figure things out on the fly, and that's when disaster happens. Distracted folks in risky situations, resourceful geniuses who don't care about the consequences, or just dumb people who act before thinking, can spark the biggest fails you'll see.

So, here are some photos where something bad is going to happen next and we just know it.
