that’s a nice booby trap, but it catches (and probably kills) stupid (suicidal) guys who attempt to change the bulb this way…
if this ends bad, it’ll end with lots of pain…
This look like a future FAIL !
Special Ops home maintenance?
Either that or
Broken foot in 3…2…1..
I’m pretty sure this one was one of the US navy’s health and safety pictures of the week a while back. Lots more ‘inventiveness’ to be found there.

Iam kinda curios how he got up there in the first place. thoose doors are a good 2 meters high.
He should used the zip tie ladder.
Should HAVE used*
Well THERE’s a Darwin Award in the making…
Even if he doesnt kill himself, the splitz he’ll do will guarentee that he won’t be degrading the gene pool.
“Replacing the Smoke Alarm Batteries”, a twice-yearly performance by Cirque du Soleil.
Look Ma! No brains!
Makes me think of Metal Gear Solid or something.
HAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Jason you’re RIGHT. All he needs is a red exclamation point above his head. He probably had a slew of ampersands and other symbols above him after he fell.
I’m amazed that someone actually took his picture. I hope the phone was ready in their other hand. They could have pushed a bed or couch under him or SOMETHING….
Looks like a trompe l’oeil painting to me rahter than a photo.
Those hinges must be really high quality. They can support 50 lbs. of “door” plus another 185 lbs. of “stupid.”
Maybe we’ve got it all wrong and he’s simply wearing door-shaped sandals.
Even if he WAS wearing door shaped sandals, I think the family would want them back….
@boredatwork
I found it! http://safetycenter.navy.mil/PHOTO/archive/archive_301-350/photo315.asp
@ShermanKent
Since he has his feet on both doors, it is just half that. Plus he seems to be putting some weight on the arm in the weird niche up there. WTH is that niche anyways? To store the first aid kit?
Comment win!
It sure is a good thing he’s holding on to that light fixture. That should hold him up if those doors close or something. /sarcasm
Well, if you can’t afford a professional security system, I guess this is the next best thing.
But I needed a battery for the TV remote and these things almost never go off!
Believe me, I’m a landlord and they do dumber stuff than this every day of the week.
nevermind the photo, those comments made my day :]
how did he get up there in the first place? doors aren’t exactly a good foothold….
Yeah one assumes he used some kind of, um, ladder…
As a former gymnast, I would love to have seen the dismount. I’m thinking maybe a back somersault with half a twist with an abrupt change of pace into a cervical fracture with a double dislocation.
Haha, the camouflage pants fit perfect too considering the lack on intelligence of most people in the military.
Pretty sure he got up via the counter, doesn’t even look that hard. Hell, I would do this just to see if it could be done! (but this guy already proved it). Safety? What’s that?
looks like he might have climbed from the breakfast bar,a well trained and toned man could easily do that, getting onto the doors from there would be tricky, but doable. It probably involved the door swinging closed and him swearing though…
assuming he got down ok (likely just jumping straight down between the doors) I’d hate to have been the downstairs neighbours.
To be honest, this is the kind of thing you’d catch me doing if I were in better shape…
@dono1
He can’t electrocute himself anymore if he hits the wrong wire
But if he holds both…
BTW most epic comment from dono1
Which dumb electricians actually installed the lamp?
Maybe hes just trying to Ambush someone…
River Tam, eat your heart out!
Looks like the way he got up there if there was no ladder was to do the Spider Walk from that show Sasuke (Ninja Warrior in America)
Click the link for a picture (Even though that’s technically the new Jumping Spider obstacle from Sasuke 18 on)
I’ll take, “Things that won’t end well” for $500 Alex….
When I was a kid I used to get into the attic by climbing up a door that opened beneath the opening. Use the doorknob as the first foot hold.then just pull yourself up to the top of the door.
dont ceilings usually start about a foot above the top of the door?
@boredatwork
Thanks! A new link for my “Captions and Croggles” folder….
He should just be glad the doors don’t open 180 degrees, or he’d get a crash course in doing the splits.
Go figure. Some dumbass soldier thinking he is the best at everything including a pathetic attempt at ingenuity. = FAIL.
i was expecting to see the aftermath on failblog
Where are the fighting cats and dogs when you need ‘em..?
Pretty odd architecture anyway. These doors belong not to the same doorway. The right door belongs to a door in the right wall… If you open one of them doors and left the other one half way open, at least one of them will get damaged.
@isi
Yeah, now I see! You can barely see the frame of the right-hand door in the alcove wall to the right.
Given his clothing and haircut, and the fact that I used to live in a condo with all the same features/layout, I’d say he works at Travis AFB, and lives in the condo complex down the street from the main entrance.
To answer previous commenters questions – the door on the left is the bedroom door, the one on the right is the coat closet – the doors sit at a 90 degree angle from each other, while the “niche” on the upper left is the access to the attic – or what passes as an attic, anyway.
Actually,the military has a higher percentage of troops with degrees than the population as a whole, and many officers and senior NCO’s have graduate degrees.
Prelude to a split.
I get really really pissed off when the alarms go off that tells you the batteries are dead!!!!!!!!!! Do you know how loud those things get?
Where there’s a will there’s a way!!!
Honey, honey, where are you… Oh, there you are, what are you doing on the floor?
…and then they wonder why the cat won’t quit climbing on the counters–man, look at what my owner’s doing, how can I top that one?
I predict such a graceful landing.
@Daniel
It’s where he keeps replacement bulbs.
Am I the only one who noticed that the unsafe tag was mispelled? <.<
(Undafe, instead of unsafe.)
I don’t see what could possibly go wrong here…
Only in the airforce.
Its Rus from the http://thereifixedit.com/2009/06/10/epic-kludge-photo-zombie-scouting-post/ comments, showing us his commando skills!
THAT’S MY BOY !!!! LITERALLY
well all of you are morons. say you don’t have a ladder and your wife burnt dinner. how the f**k do you shut off a fire alarm that is ear piercing and won’t stop because of the vaulted ceilings. you climb some doors very carefully, have your wife hold the doors while doing it……and snap a quick picture because it’s such a hilarious dangerous situation, unplug the damn thing and call it a day. That all being said I and I stress I think I did what was needed to shut off the alarm. P.S. thanks old air force buddies that posted this.
Hah ha. I’m higher than they are. I’m king of the knobs!
Unexpected and rather violent vacectomy in 3…2…1…
@dono1
And walking into the wall, evidentally.
The idea is to duck. No, duck doesn’t mean jump. Jump means jump.
Cool door stilts!
The Few. The Proud. The This Guy.
If I didn’t know better, I swear this guy could be my brother. No wait, my brother would just shoot the fire alarm…
Did anybody see the Van Damme move ‘Cyborg’? I think he is waiting to drop on somebody coming through this doorway but can’t do the splits
How many Ninja’s does it take to change a light bulb?
OSHA approved!
Door ninja wants your camera thingy.
Srsly tho…How did he get up there? Sheer force of will?
if amry men do this where do i sign up to get one? lol haha
army*** my bad
How the hell did he get up there? Is he part ninja or something?
@Demetrius
Why, because of the badass or because of the *EPIC CRAZY*?
Ninjas wait for their targets in the weirdest places with the most unlikely weapons
The real story behind glassings at parties
This demonstrates astonishingly poor technique. Why didn’t he duct tape the doorknobs together to make a stable platform?
I thought Airmen were supposed to be smarter than Marines?
USMC, Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children.
Overcome, and adapt.
Step 1, Overcome the need for replacement batteries…
Step 2, adapt to broken body parts.
Hope he’s got his iron jock strap on.
Man, platform shoes have REALLY gotten out of control.
The old ‘bucket-of-water-over-the-door’ bit is so passe…’piss-on-their-head’ is the new chic !!
I think this goes beyond the “Call of Duty”
Leave it to a Marine
Indoor Parkour FTW!
