    Yeah. Big difference. The ice video is actually funny.

    Let the people from down South have their fun with people slipping on ice. Up here it is more of a practical matter.

    Ain't that the truth. Many accidents and injuries.

    Sudden patches of ice under a thin layer of new snow are the worst. Even a Norwegian gone penguin for the season may have problems with that.

    Yep. Just about every winter someone I know ends up falling on ice and breaking something.

    I know a few people who have landed flat on their backs before they had a clue what happened. It was only a few weeks ago that I stepped off the commuting train and onto mirror ice, there was a meterwide patch of it before the roof covered the station area. Only quick reactions, good balance and powerful leg muscles kept me from going straight down. And some instinct for reacting to probable ice, developed down the years.

    What do you all think about this one? I think I'd react like Janice did.

    Ehhh, I'm kinda torn on this one - While I found it funny, I was also concerned about the child getting strangled by the safety belts.

    it's funny how a sense of humor can be so completely different from one person to another. My dh, LOVES videos of people falling, and crashing, but I can't watch them. I love watching videos where someone has to "humiliate" themselves by doing whatever the person in their headphone tells them to do. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...875F73B06713AB

    CRACKS me up, but it makes my dh uncomfortable.

    I don't think it's funny either, but then I don't like slapstick. I find a lot of sitcoms not funny for this reason, the plots so often use "bad things happening" as a comedic foil and instead of making me laugh, it makes me sad.
