I've been laughed at for tripping and even laughed at myself for falling, so yes I'd laugh. I mean there's not much you can do after the fact, and if they're not hurt, you can't help but laugh.

Yeah I'd definitely laugh

Schadenfreude.
I would laugh. XD;

tripping on a shoelace, no. Tripping because he was texting? Yes.
10/23/2011
What about trying to help?
10/23/2011
I'd ask if he was ok. I'd laugh about it later, but not in front of him/her.

I might giggle a bit, but I would wait until I was out of earshot of the kid.

Yes, I would...

I wouldn't laugh, he tripped. It's not that funny. People do it all the time.
10/23/2011
I would bust out laughing.
10/23/2011
i would probably laugh on the inside and hope he was not hurt.

Exactly! The most embarrassing thing is the awkward silence. Just laugh and go on with you day!

No. I would ask if he was okay-- it's easy to assume that falls are minor, but I've gotten so many sprains that way...

I'd probably just ask if he was ok - but only if he looked like he may be hurt. If not, I'd just try to ignore it so as not to further embarrass him.
10/25/2011
I'd try not to laugh
10/25/2011
I probably would laugh, but then I'd feel bad. I'd try my best not to though, just because I am sure the person would know I seen it happen without the laughter and feel embarrassed enough. that's just me though.
10/25/2011
I would. Mind you, I'd still laugh if I was close enough for him to hear me. But, then again, if I were close enough, I'd also help him out. Evens out.
10/25/2011
If he was just walking and he tripped and fell, I'd feel really bad for him,
but if he was running through the store, or doing something else stupid, I might chuckle

I'd laugh. Especially if he was being smug before he fell down.
I trip over myself all the time, and I know people laugh, it's funny stuff.

My husband would, but I wouldn't.
01/02/2012
I'd laugh. I always do. I even laughed while reading the word "bebopin" in the question.
01/02/2012
Only if that kid was walking around thinking he was soo cool. If not, then I would only laugh on the inside as I act as if I saw nothing at all to save the kid the embarassment.
01/02/2012
I wouldn't like it if someone laughed at me while I fall multiple time. But, well, maybe I wouldn't be able to help it! Still...
