Fall down go boom

Do you laugh at falling down?
"People falling" is the number one "people" search on YouTube.
I'm apparently in the minority, in that I don't laugh (or even snicker) at images/video of people falling down. (Generally I wince.) Perhaps it's because I've been that person falling more than once. I have done a spectacular face-first slam to the ground three times in the presence of others. All three times, the injuries I suffered were relatively minor, but the fool I made of myself was of epic proportions. --One time I actually skidded, on my knees across four feet of asphalt.-- I am only thankful that no one was videotaping.
