Would-Be MacGyvers That Fell On Their Face
Some people see a paperclip and duct tape and think they can fix absolutely anything, like MacGyver. Others see the same tools and end up in a heap of regret, laughter, and minor injuries. Improvised inventions, backyard experiments, and weekend engineering projects sometimes have spectacularly messy results that nobody could ever predict.
From exploding soda rockets to hoverboards that barely lift off, these would-be geniuses prove that creativity doesn’t always equal success. Every attempt is hilarious, slightly dangerous, and painfully relatable to anyone who has tried to invent.
