From a realistic standpoint, I have a grandmother who is elderly and falls a lot, which I do not find funny since she has received some fairly serious injuries from her falls.

Thanks. I think this applies very well. Yes, it's sad. Yes, he really hurt himself. But the video is funny. Not trying to make a statement or anything. It's just...wow, what a fall. It's ok to laugh; doesn't mean you're "not grown up" or that you hate him.
