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.
Lol I agree that is hilarious.
I mean, one of the least funny pains for me ever is when a man gets hurt in the testicles . . . but there are exceptions to that.
One for me, was when I once saw a guy, who looked about 18, on a bike doing bike tricks and flips and shouting to me and my brother that we were losers and while he was looking at us he somehow got so distracted that he managed to hurt his balls on his own bike while doing his bike flips, like "ARGHHH!". Don't ask me how the fuck he did that. That takes talent. Most impressive bike trick he ever did!
