I remember years ago when I went to the South of France and my Sister was walking along and suddenly she tripped up and fell on her face. It was pretty serious and she hurt herself.
I didn't laugh, as I was concerned and you know about the :angel: side of me:wink:, so I was thinking about her well being and all that nice stuff.
I didn't laugh...
But, a couple of our friends and laughed at her and thought it was funny???
There is this weakness within many of us, that just wish to laugh at people falling over, tripping up, bumping into lamp-posts and silly things like that.
But, what about the serious side, when they hurt themselves in doing this? Shouldn't that be taken into account? I mean, instead of laughing, we should be worried instead, but we don't all do that, do we?
Would you laugh at someone tripping up in the street? Even if it was your friend?
Are so many of us that cruel and it is easy to walk into a brick wall if you are not thinking straight:joker:

Ok its not exactly funny when someone hurts themselves but its just a normal reaction I think. People fall,people laugh.
No I wouldn't laugh, I'd be worried.

Everyone trips up at some point. Not always funny.

I agree Laura :laugh: So many people do that and even if someone really hurts themselves doing it.
I watch,"You've been framed" and that is a perfect example of people laughing at folk falling over, even if they end up in Hospital:rolleyes:
It must be something inside us:dog:

That is okay, when you can walk away from the scene unscathed. But, when a broken Leg or Arm or something else is the result, it is far from a laughing matter Fat.Rat:bawling:
I walked into a lamp-post one day:rolleyes: I felt like Mr Bean:laugh:
