Enjoyment from watching others get hurt, and sociopathy

This I understand. I don’t think it’s funny. Buuuut, when the person who fell was doing a stunt knowing they may fall and they were all pumped up about it... that changes things. To me, empathy is very much affected by the degree of choice the person had in the matter.
