I never understood why people laugh when someone falls
I remember in 3rd grade, I fell during PE while trying to jump rope. Everyone burst out laughing, not just a quiet chuckle, but a loud laugh. I couldn’t figure out why they were laughing at something where someone could’ve gotten hurt
A few years ago, I heard a stand-up comedian say that people laugh at things that surprise them, things they don’t see coming. I think people laugh when someone falls because of the surprise factor
I don't usually laugh when other people fall, but whenever I fall I bust out laughing. It surprises and amuses me that I am so clumsy.
