That looks like it hurt....

[BrooklynKnight]

for what its worth, maybe I see the humor in it because If it happened to me, I'd get up laughing...(assuming I was concsious)...

I've laughed after hurting myself falling, and I laughed a bit at the video...but I've always had a morbid sense of humor.

I've fallen on the floor at work one time in front of one of my coworkers. All I could do is laugh. He was doing the same. Granted I was probably sore for a week after that.... brick tile.

True. And to think just how many people crane their necks to watch a car wreck on the highway.... People are drawn towards things that cause others hurt and pain.

Maybe I'm naive, but I've always preferred to think that the reason people do this is to see whether there's anything they might can do to help, and also to try to see more about what happened and get a better idea of what one can or can't survive. Not to enjoy the spectacle or something sick like that.

Nothing funny about it that I see. I don't get why the internet has so many videos of other people getting hurt and people find it humerous.

I gotta go with CL on this one. No blood, no humor.

I've watched the video a couple times and I find the guy misstepping and falling to be hilarious, though admittedly, when they bring the camera down to the not moving guy, I kinda stop laughing. Seeing someone do something like that is funny to me, but injuries themselves are not.

Heck, we're almost brought up thinking injuries are funny. Look at Coyote and Roadrunner. I've watched that when I was a child, and that was terribly violent.

Right now I'd like to show you one of my favorite cartoons. It's a sad, depressing story about a pathetic coyote who spends every waking moment of his life in the futile pursuit of a sadistic roadrunner who MOCKS him and LAUGHS at him as he's repeatedly CRUSHED and MAIMED. Hope you ENJOY IT.
