This is a question Real-life slapstick

Fact: When someone walks into a lamp-post it makes a very satisfying and hugely hilarious "Ding!" noise. However, it is not quite so funny when the post is in the middle of town and you are the victim. Tell us about hilarious prat-falls.

Thanks to Bob Todd for the suggestion

Raymond
A lad at my school. Big but none too smart. He was a natural choice for the basketball team, being about 6:4 aged 16.

First PE lesson of term, and Mr Thomas, the basketball-loving P.E. Teacher, has ignored most of us and just lined up some of the tallest lads to see if any of them can slam dunk.

A couple of lads have a go and fail while Raymond, towering above all of them, smiles and looks confident. Raymond's turn comes, he runs, jumps through the air, dunks it, and grabs the rim in a celebratory flourish.

Now - you're expecting it to break off and him to fall on his arse, aren't you?

Well, no...

Mr Thomas, seeing his beloved sports equipment so flagrantly abused, attempted to aim a playful kick at Raymond's dangling backside, but over-reached himself due to the lads immense height (and him hanging from a 10 foot high basket).

Stood around watching the scene unfold, we witnessed a strange little dance as the force of his kick into air with his right leg made him lose his footing with his left. His attempt to regain his balance failed, and with his centre of gravity now well behind both his feet, he did a brief sort of kossack-dance-styled backwards run across the gym... accelerating at a remarkable pace until he hit the wall and crumpled into a dazed, twisted pile on the floor.

In fairness to us, there was a concerned pause of at least 1.5 seconds before we all pissed ourselves laughing. I swear I saw him murmur 'Cunts!'...

Brilliant, I have tears in my eyes from this. It's the image of him, out of control, and speeding up, till he hits the wall. Trying very hard not to laugh out loud at work, and now my nose is all tickley, good work
