falling down

[dingelberry]

Why is it when I fall down it hurts ?
But when its someone else its funny .
Who has not laughed at anothers tumble .

Seems to hurt more as u get older. I remember jumping off the house roof when i was young . If i did it now id have broken legs.

As for funny its only human to have the giggle . Jump on youtube and theres plenty of laughs.

Yep it's the pride that gets hurt the most the majority of the time. Even funnier watching when someone comes a cropper you get that, 'did anyone see me' look around as they get up. Ah giggling about that now

Ill confess to enjoying a weekly dose of fail videos on youtube. Funny as hell if the fall is comical. Like chris asa young bloke the stuff i did was nuts, jumping off rooves, down cliffs..nowadays a metre drop is enough to cause serious pain even when.done right

What is it about young boys and jumping off roofs. Me and my mates used to do that too and it never hurt a bit.
I was also thinking how much a metre drop hurts now (at 60) and wonder why it should be any different

Some of those youtubes make my blood run cold.....jeez they must hurt.

I fell through a sky light of a toilet block of a school once. Was fun untill i fell and to make matters worse i could not get out of the toilet because it was the weekend and the door was padlocked. The principal came down with the local policeman (my dad).
Had to pay for a new sky light and dad grounded me.

At least you weren't up there perving on the girls.

Dont think we were interested in girls at that age. More interesting in getting all the balls that were thrown up on the school roofs during the week.

Then some turned to BASE jumping...
