Someone once commented that a person falling was one of the funniest things to see.
Granted, a lot of the video clips on American’s Funniest Videos feature people falling and some are kind of funny. Especially, when the person is doing something they should have known better about doing, like riding a skateboard down a flight of stairs.
But, it always made me cringe a little, especially when the fall looked like someone got hurt pretty badly.
Maybe it’s empathy.
Mama never let me take ballet lessons because I was not exactly the most sure footed and nimble child. Said the woman who cannot exit a movie theater without tumble rolling down the aisle.
Fall from grace
