I usually find stuff like that funny, but I didn't this time. He really wacked his head... If it was his ass, funny... Head not so funny...

Slippery floor? No, no, no, foot eye cordianation, yes.

Missed a step, and it just proves they don't lie when it's live.

Wow, did you see his head bounce? There is no way he didn't go to the hospital for a checkup.

He sure as heck busted something with that rebound. Either that, or its true that wood floors really are better for absorbing impact than padded carpeting.

If you closely watch you will see his heels go beneath the step he was on indicating he lost his balance falling backwards. Funny? Yeah, I have to admit I laughed my bellybutton off. He just wasn't being careful. Lawyers love that kind of thing.

That had to hurt.
If he landed on his arse woulda been sorta funny. My rules are. If they hop back up cussing their heads off its funny as hell. If they sorta lie on the ground rolling feebly and holding where they landed then its not funny, unless its some xtreme sk8tr boi, that shouldnt been riding down those stairs that way anyway.

I always thought that those supposed "calls" from prior customers was always someone off-camera posing as a customer. This seems to prove it.

Yes? Ok that was funny. He didn't fall that far, anything over 15ft is considered bad and an automatic trip to a trauma center. As far as landing on your (or his) butt.... no, no, no. You get an extream amount of axial loading on the mid to lower spine that way and often end up with compression fractures in the vertebrae. These types of fractures usualy don't involve the cord but are still not plesent. Would much rather fall flat on my back, the skull is very thick and can take a lot.

I can see it now. Doc says how many fingers am I holding up. He says orange.

Why would you think that? It was a live broadcast.

If that happened in our factory there would be big trouble. No harness, no hard-hat... wonder if they did a risk assessment? Amazing what industry has to put up with compared to other 'industries'.

Unfortunately my Mom is a QVC junkie and whenever she visits she ends up watching it at night. I always joke with her that it seems obvious to me that these "prior customers" that call in praising the current product are really just people using a phone offstage.
