1 That's not Byron.
2 In this particular gif, it looks to me like she's holding her forehead and laughing, so I don't actually think anyone was harmed in the making of this video.
3 It's possible to edit these. Many (not all) of the videos that he posts have been edited.

Sorry about misnaming widebody911. The rest of what I said stands. Whether that girl was hurt or not, edited or not, there have been plenty of videos of people hurt or appearing to be hurt. Others have mentioned this before and I'm chiming in. I'll ignore widebody911 the next time I see something like that posted. No big deal- I'm just calling it out.

I don't think Schadenfreude quite covers it. If you enjoy seeing others physically hurt, then I suggest you have an issue. I'm tired of seeing it on this forum, so fortunately there's a an ignorenfreude option.

I'm guessing you don't watch Ridiculousness or subscribe to All Fails on YouTube or watch any of the Send It clips on Instagram.

Do I want to see someone get hurt in a horrific car accident? of course not...

Do I laugh out loud when a drunk person falls off a balcony, flattens a card table, rolls off the end and slides down into a swimming pool? Heck yes I do!!!

I have several channels I watch daily for that humor.. (like the small kids above.. that made me chuckle..) Does that make me sadistic? Geez.. I have empathy for a lot of those video clips, but most of them are still pretty darn funny..

and my mandatory pic..
