Falling is always funny. It is never not funny. It is not something that typically happens, nor is it something you can plan.

Although, fake falls can also be very funny.
Especially if they do indeed have an unsuspecting victim that falls with them. Usually, if I come across the occasion when I do fall, like in sports, skating or drinking, I try to take the closest person out with me. Preferably, throw them under my person to soften said blow. Like this guy did in the picture.

Anyway, what I love most is the mid air, "holy shit, this is gonna hurt" face. It's a beautiful mix of terror without pain and the silent resignation of nothing else to do but take one for the team. However, the huge muff dive that he is taking to the face here may not be who's team he's necessarily on but it doesn't matter, you're on a team. That's what matters.

You're helping us by letting us laugh and point at you. Not because you hurt yourself, but because we all know where you are coming from, okay? That sweet giddy exhilaration of being airborne turned in to, I hope I didn't just break my wrists, euphoria.

Pure comedy, ladies and gentlemen.

Now, go out there and get the pain meds you deserve for being one of the team! Um, a team, no, I mean, your team, whatever team you wanna be on. Go get 'em! Er, the pain meds, not the team.
