wait i know this. i read it somewhere. it is something to do with the evolution of humans from 4 legged to 2 legged. When man was learning to walk erect on 2 legs, there were often some who wud trip and fall. this wud make the others ridicule them. It is this instinct in us humans that makes us laugh even today at someone falling or walking in a funny way.

I saw a programme recently , it explained that it is to do with survival instincts. Animals will single out the weakest in the pack.If we see someone fall it's a way of drawing attention to their plight -it also explains why the victim trys to distance themselves from the fall 'I'm okay. I'm fine' or to cover a trip by walking on ,so as not to draw attention and be picked off by the surrounding group. It sounds dramatic but a lot of our instincts are there, but not used in the same way today. Sixth sense for example how do we know that we are being watched. We also fear spiders or snakes because we have evolved to fearful of them as some can be deadly.

For some people, its just common sense to laugh
For others, they just find someone else's misfortune amusing
For other people, they just cant help but laugh
For others, they dont know what else to do so they just laugh!
For other people, they see other people laughing so they join in until everyone around them laughs!
And for some other people.... well they laugh coz theyre just plain evil!

They think of the comedians in films and clowns in circus shows, who do the falling act all the time to make you laugh!

Hey....
All people's need only happiness and joy...Right?
And my thought is, we don't want to thing the bad things in our mind, we should take away the worries from our mind through laugh, happiness.....then only we will feel mind freenes ........... that is rejuvenates..
So we should avoid all our tensions apart and watch the Comedy Show, filled with joy, laughter, and happiness, rejuvenates you to the Max. Right?
So we should see the comdey show, and enjoy and live long....
Thanks,

I run to help, I just do not stand there and laugh.
But it is a good observation. Most of the time people recover before the help arrives and it is in some case laughter of relief.

nobody will be knowing that at what angle the person who will be falling so when he falls suddenly his posture will be totally changed to his attitude.
