This post was deleted for the following reason: this is 4-5 years old, the woman was fine, just knocked the wind out of her. It's from Georgia I think.



 
So what?

This is at LEAST a year old - possibly older. Can't we find NEW people whose misfortunes we can make fun of?

Groin Pains: The agonizing journey from America's Funniest Home Videos to YouTube:
Authenticity was always elusive on America's Funniest Home Videos—the show was frequently accused of using staged submissions. Still, the best clips had an unplanned legitimacy and offered a real glimpse of other people's home lives. Through the lens of the weekly show, America seemed like a good-natured, wacky place rife with funny pets, curious toddlers, and error-prone water skiers. YouTube has a bleaker worldview. The most popular viral videos show Web-savvy teens—not toddler-and-pet-having families—making fools of themselves. Not long ago, we were hitting each other's groins at family picnics. Now, we are Groin Punching Alone.

If this, for Swift, is currently the best of the web then I predict wide eyes and gaping mouth within mere hours.

From all the noise she's making, I'd say she can breath just fine.

"my grandma's a nurse where they took the lady after she fell. they said her collar bone got pushed into her lung and came out thru her back. plus she broke her left wrist and nose and had smashed grapes all up in her hair."

The last 8 words redeem everything in this thread.

I wonder if it's more palatable when set to music?

This is quality material. Way better than cats flushing toilets.

I can see where Will Ferrell gets his morning show character from.

I thought the woman falling was a strange mixture of sad and boring.

But the android co-hosts reacting?

Gold.

Creepy-as-all-get-out comedy gold. Seriously. My flesh crawled while I laughed.
