It depends on who is falling and what the situation is. Sometimes I laugh outright, inappropriately I might add, though I try to hide it. Most of the time I'm actually concerned and do what I can to help. Most of the time it's nothing and I don't even have time to be concerned before the person fully recovers.

None of the above. The majority of the time I make sure they are okay, then I'll chuckle a bit afterwards if they are. I used to fall down a lot, I'm a bit of a klutz, and there is nothing more infuriating than being in pain and having people laughing at you. I also used to be painfully shy and so the unwanted attention of the worst kind when you are already embarrassed "oh god! They're lauging at me!" was pretty hard to deal with...

Crazy thing about this discussion is honestly it would have to depend on who it was that had fallen. Really, if I liked them, didn't like them, knew them, didn't know them, if I joked with them on this level or not. The next thing would be whether or not they had hurt themselves. There's a lot to say how I would respond. I can also say I do know a few people I wouldn't mind seeing fall just to see them fall. And then there are others that if I did see them fall I would rush to them to help them out. Hhmmmm,... but that's neither here, nor there, now is it.
