With the state of some of the people in my office, I think the only possible way to fail is if you stop turning up.

Guy who started the same time as me failed. He was an oldish guy (60s I think) and had a lot of trouble remembering the walks. After 7 months he only knew 2 walks despite being trained on about 8. DOM got rid.

You honestly do have to be a complete muppet not to pass probation.
