I gotta be honest here, I can't believe people would have any type of seriously enjoyable laugh from seeing this. I watched it a couple times and haven't even cracked a smile. It's not funny. Do you people have no empathy at all for other human beings? 9/11 must have been a laugh riot for you guys.

People who over endulge themselves on food, then act indifferent to their environment are funny. Let's face it, we have laughed often at fat people...why do I dare ask?

Are you just trying to stir things up?

I find it amazing that someone would surmise that this ladies weight had something to do with this accident.

her weight had nothing to do with it, her co-workers did. fail to remind her and, i watched it two or three times and i still dont find it funny. Would it still be funny if the woman was skinny?

I agree. There is something cruel in the human spirit that finds humor in odd-sized people's pain. Not meaning to bag on anybody, but...this civilization needs to have a little more compassion, ya know?

And BTW, this is nothing new...witness the (silent-era) films of Fatty Arbuckle...the guy made a fortune by exploiting the "fat-guy-gets-creamed" thing.

Of course, that was like, 80 years ago.

Hmmm?

It's not like she was 600lbs or anything. People who are larger than average are not necessarily people that overindulge. Not that it really matters because all kinds of people that are thinner than average do overindulge. So how can you know who overindulges? Some kind of super power you have? And the fact you then use your super power to pass judgment over others says a heck of a lot about your character.

Sure there is cruelness in the human spirit. Look how cruel kids can be. But kids eventually grow up and learn the cruelness is not a trait we want feed. At least most of us learn this.

With any luck, and some evolution, it'll be a trait that is weeded out of our genes someday.

there are many reasons other than over-eating for people being fat. lack of exercise, health reasons, or even medication can cause weight gain. really her weight should not even be an issue here.

Any court seeing this video will side with the girl who fell. her co-workers are at fault for assuming she noticed they opened the door. (and we all know what happens when you ass-u-me something.) they way she fell could cause her trouble in the future.
actually the bad part of this is its the company that will have to pay and not the parties that caused the accident with there negligence.

sorry, its not funny to me.
