Why we find humor in other's misfortune is a mystery. I can't say that I don't laugh at it. Hell, look at America's Funniest Home Videos--it's got a lot of mishaps and people falling. I've had a few myself and while it hurt like hell every time, I laughed at myself. Hopefully this woman was ok enough to laugh as well...
Summer of 2005 I was riding my bike home from looking for a job at Office Depot which I did not get. I ride across the cross-walk, raising my left hand to wave a thanks at someone who stopped.
And my right hand pushes the handlebars all the way over and I fly right over the wheel onto the pavement. Face first. In the middle of the street. Holding up the green light.
I could have sworn I'd broken a tooth. There was blood on the asphalt. My face is throbbing. But I get up and move across the street. The lady who stopped is still sitting there mid turn watching me. I just wait to see if there's any more blood coming out. Nothing is, and she eventually moves on. It was the corner of Wimbeldon and Winchester in Los Gatos California, and I will never forget that spot.
And I still hope that somewhere out there is a video of "some moron flips off his bike in the middle of the street" on Youtube. I would laugh my ass off.
Because I didn't get hurt. My tooth wasn't even cracked (since I eat so many dairy products). But if I'd been screaming in the street, and some asshole make a remix out of it, I'd want to track him down and smack his face with a brick.

Only when people make dance mixes of people's screams. Anyone who laughs at other's suffering deserves the same thing they're laughing at. Anyone who laughs at death deserves to be abandoned in the jungle.
