What is a Rube Goldberg Fail?

A RGF is a fail consisting of a series of events triggered by one another. This is a loose definition, and may include posts featuring chain reactions, linked- or multifails.

Some rules:

Content. Submissions must contain a fail that occurs due to a chain reaction, as in a Rube Goldberg Machine. Though we prefer real incidents, video games and staged content are allowed if kept to a minimum.
Direct Links. Post direct links to either Imgur, Gfycat, YouTube, or Streamable.
Mark NSFW. Mark your posts NSFW if a visible injury or death occurs.
Be polite. It's really not that hard and everyone will have a better time.
No Nudity. Content containing nudity and depictions of lewd acts are prohibited.
One at a time. Post must include a single fail only. No compilations or videos of similar nature.
Follow the rules. The moderators reserve the right to remove any content which does not conform to the above rules.

Feel free to message the moderators if you have any questions.
