work safe, no nudity etc, basically a funny moment captured from QVC
-
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...
-
he was ok
-
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. :eek:
-
Are you ok?
Mom, is that you? Did Lassie make it home ok?
Medic!

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.
-
That fall wasn't funny. Wonder if he got a concussion from that.

When I was about 7 or 8 we were doing the Bicycle Version of Evil Knevil. We had a ramp set up at the bottom of a hill and I naturally HAD to go first. I sailed thru the air, landed square on my butt and broke my tailbone. There is nothing funny about a broken coccyx and they take forever to heal. :(
-
Yeah, a busted tail bone sucks. I broke mine while painting our ship. The jackoff who was supposed to be our safety guy let one of the ropes holding the platform I was sitting on slip while lowering me to paint further on done. The handsomehunk had untied me because he thought it would be easier to do this one handed, as he was having a nice smoke. I managed to land on my feet on the captain's gig, but lost my balance, fell off and landed on a stanchion in a sitting position. I broke it 5 minutes before we moored at Pearl Harbor.
For the first few days its best not to eat.

He may be right. Notice how quickly the "customer" on the phone is to point out "...and that has never happened" almost immediately after the guy conks his head. When was the last time a customer played apologist for the vendor a split-second after an accident, instead of saying "Ohmygosh, is he ok?" or something like that? That call-in customer's veracity looks kinda suspicious to me. She seemed to want to push the product a little too much.
