Gore warning: Don't look at the bloody injury pictures unless that's what you want.
Warning warning: Don't do any of this stuff.
Here's a collection of projects that just didn't work and other mishaps.
I'll be adding to this collection as time goes on.
Oh boy. That's for sure.
For starters, here are the impossible rollerskates. Also known as caster skates.
Ian Alexander demonstrates how to use them. Stand up, Move legs, fall down.
To make your pair, just screw some casters to boards and tape them to your feet as shown.
Enjoy!

Signing UpStep 1Don't Use Witch Hazel on Zits. Don't use U-locks like this.
Someone told me witch hazel was good for curing zits.
I thought I'd try it out and put it on a big one that had formed southeast of my nose.
It killed the zit alright, also the skin around it.
So instead of a zit I had a patch of gangrene on my face that eventually filled with scar tissue.
Maybe that's not a normal effect of witch hazel on defective skin, but I still have the scar from it.
Perhaps the stuff is for preventing zits. I'm too scared to experiment any further.
Oh yeah. That's me locked to Tim McBride, author of "GI Jane".
Yes a U-Lock can be used to do this, but there's no reason to do so.
It's just dumb.
BTW, in case you didn't like the movie you should lobby the studio to release a version
with the real ending.

My father was having a Romantic dinner a few years ago..Fondue, with the Gas burners and all.I got sent to my room, so as not do Disturb them.He tells me halfway through the dinner, the gas was out.. Hmmph, well, he picks the thing up, brings it to the counter, pours some Burner gas into a cup and throws it in so as not to have the bottle explode in his hand.. Light, no worky.. Hell, throws caution overboard, pours it from the bottle.. BOOM, Counter ,shirt and hand are ablaze. the Wife Jumps up, grabs a fire extinguisher and Empties it on him.. Imagine that wound about five times Bigger.
I cannot believe that it was stopped by the fabric and / or that you were fast enough to stop the grinder in the middle of the first rev on you shirt !!!…
Read what seemed to have really happened to CementTruck and mearhoof.
So my message is stop with this nonsense : this shouldn't be seen as instructable (even a "don't…") this is only an anthology of childish mistakes.
Great professionals and enlightened DIY post here.
Your post seem to only please yourself, so please give us a break.
Reminds me of a fond pastime from my childhood.... "clothes basket down-the-stairs derby"! Not only do wipe-outs *really* hurt, (and funny to watch) but there are other dangers as well. See, grandma's stairs to the second floor (with the wide even steps,and optimal incline) opened up on the first floor to the outside.
Parents made this game stop when I slid down the stairs, through the door, through the front porch, down the front porch stairs, out the double doors, across the lawn, and into the drive way in front of a moving car. Yes, they were only going about 5 mph and stopped in time, but... talk about a nightmare for a parent! Never fear, I only got a few bruises, none of which were from the car.
My aunt wasn't so lucky... she lost a few years of her life from the shock of seeing me fly out like a shot and spill down and out right in front of her station wagon.
I, having no sense of self preservation, was very upset that this great game was kiboshed permanently. "Life is so unfair~!" I had really wanted to see if I could make it to the river, which was... about 50-100 feet further. :)
at which point i laughed 'til i cried.
I always enjoy your inst'ables.

I'll let you in on a little secret, a belt sander is also an AWESOME epilator and skin abrader.
A great testament to your sense of humor: taking pictures of your folly, posting it for the world to see and possibly subject yourself to peer ridicule. Wish I had thought of it myself at the time, but it was getting hard to breathe and I was getting claustrophobic. ;)
