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

I find it my duty to point out
that if someone is concussed (and from the description, it sounds like the poor old welshman was), they should really go to a doctor or hospital. There is a small, but very real, chance of serious brain injury or death.
When you hit your head, the brain bounces around inside your skull. If it bounces too hard, it can get bruised, or worse. A bruising can turn to swelling, can turn to more bruising, can lead to loss of consciousness and death.
Although the probability of serious complication is small, the complications are serious enough to take the step of going to the doctor.
So in summary, concussion and its causes are inherently amusing, but because of the risk of death it's best to take the party to a hospital.

It WAS offered and refused, Taff and I both worked at the local hospital at the time.

Fair do's pointing it out though.
