Maybe OSHA should intervene and mandate [work shoes with reinforced ankles](http://ak.buy.com/PI/0/500/222690434.jpg) for this job. ---

I’m dumb and nearly always laugh at people falling, so this is great. My favorites were the girl falling into the pool, and the one where someone tried to help and fallen model then fell too. Ha! ---

The big problem is they get the shoes that match the outfit and despite most models being close to the same size they’re not the same foot size. They’re often walking in shoes a full size too large or small. That said, save me a seat on that bus to hell because they made me giggle. ---

I started feeling really sorry for the blonde in the orange mini-dress, because she just kept walking all the way back (with assistance from the guy(s)) and her ankles were still buckling on every step…that probably hurt the worst. ---

Lucky for her that brittle bones apparently aren’t a symptom of any of the many nutritional deficiencies she no doubt has. ---

I smiled, I snickered, but I didn’t laugh. The EMT in me had me wondering about how many worker’s comp claims the model industry makes each year for sprained or broken ankles. And my favorite was the model in the red dress that went over the side of the runway into the swimming pool. ---

> [@Lanzy](#): > > falling has never been funny to me, sorry No need to apologize. Different folks find different things funny. My take is that if you’re going to strap on stoopid shoes and try to walk gracefully on a slick surface so people can gawk at your hotness, and you go down like a cheap lawn chair…Ima gonna guffaw. mmm ---

The girl falling into the pool was mildly amusing, mainly because of the guy’s total indifference to it. The rest of it didn’t do anything for me. I actually felt bad for a few of them. ---

Or walking into a sliding glass door - it never fails to get me laughing. It IS ALWAYS funny! Yeah - and what was with the giant hat thing? I hope she got a lot of money for looking like an absolute idiot. ---

Speaking of going to hell for laughing at something… I was driving through some Amish country here in Missouri. I saw (and got a picture of) a large billboard with the following message: > [@](#): > > BEHOLD, > > I Come Quickly. > > - The words of Jesus. ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > But someone taking a ball in the nuts, that’s always funny, right? Absolutely! You know, America’s Funniest Home Videos, sorry AFV!, is hilarious to me for exactly this reason; I laugh hysterically when other people are getting whacked in the nuts, falling down, or otherwise mildly injuring themselves. I’m a bad person, I guess. ---

You know how Donald Trump has the line, “You’re fired!” on _The Apprentice_? This clip reminds me of something. I think Heidi Klum needs something similar when dismissing the latest designer on _Project Runway._ My suggestion: “Sarah? I’m sorry. You didn’t make it. Take a long walk…on a short runway.” ---
