I can't answer for anyone else- if I see someone fall I almost always run to that person and help them.  If they are really okay and laugh about it, I'll laugh with them.   It seems funny only if the person isn't hurt.  Now, whether or not the person was really hurt, I would never laugh at someone who has physical limitations (elderly, handicapped, etc.) and fell, that's blatant behavior!\n\nI can be quite clumsy, walk into stuff, bang my head on things, I trip over my own feet sometimes.  I always laugh at myself, even when it hurts, and I hope that others laugh with (or at me).  I don't know why but that's always my first reaction.  I'd rather have people laughing about my fall than making a big fuss "oh my gosh are you okay?" and checking me over for bruises and such.\n\nEver watch america's funniest home videos or the planets funniest animals?  A lot of it is people/animals falling, getting hit, etc.  You can't help but laugh.   \n\n - Any Psych majors out there that can help answer the Q?? :)

Gravity.\n\nAlso you have changed the terms of the original proposition.\nIn addition to simply going from point A to B and back, you have added LIFTING (applying additional force) to go UP the stairs. Going down the stairs your legs support your weight, as they always do (subject to a bit more force, perhaps), but when you go UP the stairs, your muscles have to raise your body weight, and pull it up.

YES\n\nOnce you cross the threshold for a level change, either up or down, you switch to that level

It depends... Last winter I had a last fall on the stairs because they were icy and  guys had not got to that building to building to put ice melt down... we had to pay for all the medical expenses (probably could have been held liable for more). \n\nYou need to report it to the manager ASAP, the lady that I was dealing with called me while she was still laying on the stairs.

Stairs.\n\n30 to the first step, 20 to the second, 10 to the third and then back down (20 second, 30 first).  Do that until you can no longer make it to the first step.

A COMEDIAN FALLING DOWN THE STAIRS

Same as with cats. If you throw a cat to the ceiling he will land on his feet - and then again when it hits the floor.

embarrassing moment or movement...?  I fell going up stairs in front of my entire sixth grade class....landed with my face pressed against the wall....thankfully after the laughter they asked if I was ok.

Not at that very moment. I make sure they are OK and then I laugh. I laugh when I fall too.

Think of an echo.  It is in the air, right? Not on the floor.  Therefore the echo of a person, or ghost, floats through the air and does not fall.  An echo ceases to be heard, a ghost ceases to be seen.  It's an analogy that you can use to understand.

you will have to be in one point in the building to hear that the object will sound like a "musical scale going" down as it drops... but since objects on free fall accelerate, you would hear the 'musical scale going down" only at a very short time...\nso when you listen, listen carefully...

Fall off a building, chances are you're going to realize what happened and panic.  You're body goes into terrible shock and you can die from fright on the way down.\n\nAmusement park ride is a different story.  You have a pretty good idea that you're gonna make it down safely, so generally you don't panic that bad.  It gives you a feeling of a 'rush' because you know what 'could' have happened, though most likely what 'could' happen never will.
