WE ALL EXPERIENCE painful moments from time to time.  A kick in the nether region, a clumsy fall or a knock on the head are a part of life.

Occasionally these moments are spectacular, and even less frequently they are captured on film.

Here are some of life’s painful moments, beautifully captured in Gifs.

This poor man’s tentative entry to the water

This little one’s adventure in mini golf

This guy who should know better than to lie behind a ramp

This poor girl who didn’t enjoy this particular knees-up

This guy who really did not see that other guy coming

This creature whose attempt was never really going to end well

This woman whose triumph was momentarily marred with despair

This young man who needs to have a very strong word with the owner of that laser pointer

The poor man who was only trying to get fit

This young man who definitely lost out in this scenario

The participants in this trust exercise who became unexpected victims

This girl whose sexy car wash turned into a sexy disaster
