Popping bottles of champagne is no job for the clumsy, the inexperienced, or the downright unlucky people of this world. There's no telling where that cork might shoot off to, and one wrong move could take an eye out. But hopefully, now matter how horrible your champagne popping fail is, it doesn't come close to any of these. 

Behold the five saddest—and most hilarious—champagne pops gone amiss. While you have to feel for the guy who accidentally shot his wife's hat off at their wedding, the guy trying to saber the bottle open with a knife had it coming. 

Happy New Year, and may your corks pop out without sending anyone to the hospital.
