			I have never understood why people think videos or pictures of someone else getting hurt, or almost hurt, is funny. Check out this article on the subject. Bullies may get kick out of seeing others in pain http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081107/sc_nm/us_brain_bullies

			The "victims" in those clips don't think it's funny. You don't think it's funny when it happens to you. Why is it funny when it happens to someone else?

I have plenty of joy in my life, joy when someone else gets hurt is not part of it. I feel sorry for that person, not joy.  It's called empathy.

			Call me a joyless troll, but I did not find it funny.  I once was run over by a Ford F150.  That wasn't funny, either.

			well, ill admit that a few of those clips were not what i would consider funny because i dont particularly find it funny when people are hurt however, the guy near the middle when they are showing the snake, when the lizard jumps on the guys jacket and he freaks out.... made me piss myself the sleder that flips the guy in the air also made me die laughing and the best i thought, was when the snow plow covered the reporter with snow the airplane hitting the man (if that was even a real person) was not so funny and the woman being blown up by the motorcycle guy was not that funny

			Some of it wasn't even close to funny - some of it was hysterical..  hahah..  I laughed and laughed..  thx for the post. I had the same tobogganing accident as the guy in the vid 'cept i made the complete 360 and landed on my feet - hit by 15 people on a tractor tube just screamin down Pest Hill. Happened so fast I wasn't even sure if it did.

			Some seriously funny stuff in there. I wonder how bad the guy that was hit by the airplane was hurt.

			I don't get it, what does a flag pole have to do with brownies?  And why was there only three fingers on that glove?  The part with the duck was funny but the music in the back ground reminded me of something out of the 1920's.  Who comes up with this stuff?

			There have been events in my life that at the time weren't so funny but looking back many years later some of those things have been the fuel for a damn good laugh. Maybe we need to just lighten up a bit and learn to laugh at ourselves.

KO'd for about three minutes, went to the ER and then home with a concussion. He returned to work a couple days later to finish his story. They showed a picture of the wing where it hit him. Luckily he wasn't hit by the leading edge but in the flat underside and it was a canvas skin aircraft so the damage was very slight.
