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

Falling in the fireThis seems to be a bit of a Glastonbury tradition amongst my friends. One year we were all sitting around a lovely campfire (lots and lots of glowing embers, throwing out a lot of heat) when my friend A stood up, teetered a little uncertainly, and fell straight into the fire. Quick as a flash, I jumped up and pulled her off it, made sure she was okay (she was), brushed off any ash or embers and she went to her tent for a much-deserved lie down.
The next year A didn't come with us, but her memory lingered as we sat around the campfire and I told the story outlined above. Immediately afterwards, my other friend J (who could probably fill this QOTW by himself) got unsteadily to his feet, teetered, and fell face down into the fire. This time I was laughing so hard I couldn't actually get up to help him.
