    ...I laugh.

    You can't analyze it. It's just funny. Even if they get hurt, I still laugh while I am helping them.

    I'm just twisted. But, come on, it's funny.

    I think its just natural to laugh. If someone laughs at me i don't trip. One time I was walking with this superfine girl and fell on my hiney. She laughed until she cried!

    I laugh too. Actually, I laugh whenever someone hurts themselves, including myself. I cry first, then laugh after.

    Unless it's an emo, then I don't laugh. I find band-aids.

    I haven't tripped in a while but I did fall over on my bike yesterday while trying to take a picture of the sky (there was a storm brewing.) I laughed at myself and peddled on. Elderly people falling? There is NOTHING funny about that.

    ...I'm one of those über-empathetic people who feels everyone's pain... so I have trouble even watching "America's Funniest Videos"... I can't stop cringing!

    I'm just like my mom...

    I didn't trip today, but I did go over on my ankle. Thankfully nobody saw me. But I now have a cast from my knee to my toes, 'cause I've managed to fracture my meta- whatzit.
    And yes I did laugh, I'm such a clutz.:laugh:

    3 weeks ago at the airport, i saw a large lady running to catch her flight from down the corridor.
    As soon as she got about 5 meters away SLAP faceplant on the ground, so close to me i burst out laughing and people around me looked at me disgusted!

    i thought it was hilarious!

    Tripped on my way downstairs a couple of years ago. Had a double Jack Daniels OTR in my hand. Didn't spill a drop. I've got skills.

    Similarly, I once fell into a pool in Las Vegas with one of those giant drinks in my hand. I went completely under, but somehow my hand AND GLASS were completely dry! I was like the Statue of Liberty!

    When I was 12, it was raining one day and I had to go to the bottom of the hill to get something. I was hopping down across the grass with my umbrella pretending to be Mary Poppins. Next thing I know my feet are up over my head and I landed flat on my tailbone. My mother stood at the kitchen door laughing so hard she was crying, as I lay there immobile in the rain. I'm pretty sure I fractured my tailbone. She couldn't stop laughing long enough to help me back to the house.

    But I don't hold any ill will over it. Because it was HILARIOUS. :laugh: People falling is always funny.

    Me too!! There was the funniest episode of Rob Dyrdek Ridiculousness the other night and the segment was called "Ghost Hole" where people just randomly trip over nothing visible. I about peed my pants laughing!!

    I watched that with my husband. We were cracking up! :laugh:

    I always cringe when I see people trip up. I don't like seeing people get hurt, but I always smile quietly to myself too. lol

    Although something that I could not resist laughing at the other week was a business woman - Immaculately dressed in heels too, tall, head held high.....until she walked over a grate and got her heel stuck. Doesn't sound too funny but the actual funny part was when she was on all fours trying to get the darn shoe out of the grate!. haha.
