It still hurts to watch that, seeing the back of his head bounce off the floor like that.

I read that someone in the other thread was saying that whoever was calling was off stage and not a real caller. I tend to agree. QVC is located in Fla. This lady said she was calling from Calif. She said uhoh before the guy even hit the ground. It seems to me there would be atleast a 10-12 sec delay in just basic transmisson over that kind of range.
A few years ago I flew one of the traffic planes for a radio station in Baltimore. I know that whenever Dave would transmit there would be a small delay even then. It was very small maybe a second or two at most, but I still remember noting it was there...

Jesus...I think some of you around here need to get laid...I mean really, what is it like being that up-tight all the time? Does it hurt?

I could get laid laid ten times a day and still not get any pleasure out of watching some guy fall six feet off a ladder and hit his head on a solid floor.

Sorry man, not funny....

i thought it was funny.

not hilarious, but amusing, doubt very much he would get any long term hurt from that - and i dont think it was a solid floor, seemed more like a set, wooden panelling for a floor.

My dad has survived falls off ladders. One being from 3 stories onto concrete landing on his shoulder.

Its not the fact someone got hurt that makes it funny.. its the situation. If he had been quite clearly seriously hurt then it would not be funny.

Its like in Aces High when you watch noobs trying to up from a cv heavy or while its turning - comedy gold.

It's sort of a give and take situation.

I laugh at other people for getting hurt. I give them full rights to laugh at me when I do a handsomehunk move.

As someone who works on ladders regularly and whom this could very well happen to.

I found it Hillarious.

the guy climging it was obviously ad idiot.
First he had the ladder set up at too steep an angle.
thats why he missed a rung on the way down.

Secondly he climbed up too high on it.

the top rung should never be lower then your chest

The two combined contributed greatly to his fall.

basically it was his own stupidity that caused him to fall.

and when stupid people do stupid things. the outcome is usually pretty funny as is the case here.

The film should have been titled "How you shouldnt use a ladder"

Kinda like the cartoons they used to show you in shop class

there was an inside joke at the woodshop in college.

"like an 8 foot arrow"

referring the the potential tragectory of a piece of lumber being ripped.

one of my students once proved this theory much to the dismay of the project on the table behind it.
