When something unexpected happens we quite naturally react with some form of shock or surprise. Laughter erupts with an unanticipated outcome of an event. This is a response we do naturally, and often without any intent to do so. It generally is not intended to be cruel.

Yes, I once laughed when this girl fell through a glass window. She wasn't hurt, but I laughed before I even found out. Everyone looked at me like I was nuts, but hell, I couldn't help it. It was shocking and the laughter erupted out of me like acid.

Its a natural part of human behaviour known as Schadenfreude
"Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others".
(prononced as scha·den·freu·de)
It is an English word derived from German : Schaden, damage (from Middle High German schade, from Old High German scado) + Freude, joy (from Middle High German vreude, from Old High German frewida, from fr, happy).]
Its not really mean unless you did on purpose or you caused it. Otherwise, just have a good laugh and try to help out if you can.

Heck yes! Its funny when people get hurt.
I laugh hardest when the blood starts to flow. The only time I actually care is if its one of my friends. Otherwise, I push them further down so I can laugh harder.
Pain (on others) is fun, la. :D
