Epic Fail is impossible in real life, so this image can't be an example. More importantly, it runs afoul of No Real Life Examples, Please!.

Strong Keep Until Better Image Suggested for me; crashing your car into someone's house is bad enough, but lodging it in the roof is exponentially worse.

I dont think No Real Life Examples, Please! applies here, as the whole point of that is to avoid pointing fingers to an actual specific person.

I think the OP needs to frequent the Ask for Explanations thread more. Lots of threads opened due to faulty reasoning or misreading of the trope.

Keep. I don’t think No Real Life Examples, Please! applies to page pics.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. I believe Epic Fail is NRLEP not because it's impossible in real life, but because it would come off as making fun of people. If we decide to keep the image, the pinned post on the IP discussion should be edited to include it as an exception to the possible thread reason "A page marked as No Real Life Examples, Please! has a Real Life pic," along with Mean Character, Nice Actor.

[up][up][up] Good idea. There's clear support for keeping the pic, so I'll tag the page and add it to that note. Locking up.
