Real-life slapstickFact: 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

Wish I could have seen this from the outside.1983. Paper round, it's dark and pissing down so I'm wearing my snorkel parka. I've finished, so I'm bombing back to the shop to drop my bag off so I can go home. Bombing like Lance Armstrong, legs pumping, head down. Schoolboy error.
There's a moment of disorientation, then I can feel the rain on my face. I'm lying face up on the roof of a car. A parked car. Into which I've just cycled, at full speed. I must have somersaulted the handlebars and landed on the roof.
Took a good heave to get my bike out of the radiator grille where it had embedded itself. I was unhurt, but I wish to this day someone had got it on video.
