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.
