Midori Ito at 1991 worlds short program. Falls into camera pit, jumps back out as if nothing happened with her posture and smile intact, then she apologized to the camera man she may have hurt during the fall. That lady was all class. RESPECT.

Yes, that's the one!

For Patrick there was also this time, I think it was at TEB and maybe at a training session or at the gala, he teared away of piece of the board and fell. But I can't find the video :cry:

Yuzuru's random fall during the step sequence, immediately fallowed by an amazing 3A-3T combo (2012 WC).

TV commentators from all over the world were quite impressed with that moment :) -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efu0E0Y-H6U

well his recovery with the 3A3T was really impressive but the fall itself seemed quite painful :/ The reaction from the audience and commentators was nice tho.
It reminded me when he had a similar fall at COR and the besp commentator was like "cmon up up up!" https://youtu.be/ROupIif_ONE?t=2m55s


Well i don't know if it's cool, but seriously 2 horrific falls..

Volosozhar/Trankov GPF 2012 at 4:16 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUBX1FEIRI4

Tarasova/Morozov Russian Nationals 2014 at 4:33 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9p1gUU7olw

Yeah these are definitely not cool. Very scary... Evgenia is one tough woman :shocked:

why is the name of the thread changed? "recalling falls" doesn't really correspond to what I was asking here

I think because some of the falls have drifted to let's say interesting rather than funny. When people get hurt, it is just not the same. But some are still interesting.

For instance, i originally was going to post Sasha Cohen's fall at US Nationals 2010 because, well it is weird. She falls a bit strangely sometimes, like she skids to a halt first. But I decided not because, well it was originally "cool" falls and this really was not. Now that it has changed, it is more fitting so i will add it.

not cool, but unusual, and id love insight on what is going on. I swear i have seen her fall similar elsewhere, and not many others.

Another unusual Sasha fall

Most falls have some forward inertia. . hers don't.

I found it! TEB gala 2008 https://youtu.be/QcHQ2dJM6UQ?t=2m4s

Patrick Chan: Cleaning ice and damaging boards since 2008. (For a guy with such fabulous skating skills, he sure has a lot of weird falls. Carelessness? Lack of concentration?)

Even the off ice fall is pretty funny--was that a... garbage can?

really fun thread(even though some look really painfull and not fun for the skaters at all :biggrin:), patrick sure has many weird ones, maybe should change the thread name to Chan falls or sth :laugh: this one is from WTT 2013
and i love The Butt Spin!! also Yuzuru's split falls are amazing, i think they should consider it as some kind of transition :laugh:

Patrick Chan has a lot of weird falls. This 11GPF one https://youtu.be/tR3NG7FpkZ8?t=4m59s is actually made so much better by Daisuke and his coach reaction in the K&C https://youtu.be/BWv9IhtsHik?t=19s
The TEB spin fall is pretty special to me because I saw it live https://youtu.be/WxQBI3gcZLc?t=4m39s. Seriously Patrick has the weirdest falls. The 2012WC waxel fall was also pretty funny tbh.

OMG just a while ago I was looking every where for Daisuke and coach's reaction to PChiddy's fall and couldn't find it anywhere so thanks for that. PChiddy has the strangest falls, I still can't get over the tripping off ice on garbage can one...

I cracked up at Charlie and Meryl's coach's reaction that one time poor Charlie fell over three times in one performance!

Oh and this one from Evan, which happened in an exhibition, but still I laughed my head off the first time I saw this gif. Footwork falls always seem to be the most embarrassing...

And who can forget Maurizio Margaglio dropping Barbara Fusar-Poli and then falling on top of her in Torino...the stare that if looks could kill would have wiped out the entire arena!

LOL Patrick's fall was really fitting the music there, I'll give him that! But that's crazy because I have seen him doing this kind of spin entry fall a couple of times!
Yeah that'd be so cool that Yuzuru starts doing split-fall transitions!! Then everybody would copy him and it would become the new tano, with skaters doing it on every jump lol:)

OMG this fall is HUGE and yeah so funny!

Fusar-Poli was one SCARY woman. I think Margaglio should feel lucky to still be alive. Also he really can thank her that she made his career!


I am dying here. Seriously wth!!!! The spin ones and the twizzles one he looks drunk!

And this is why I've always said, it doesn't matter how darned deep your edges are, it means jack all if you can't control them.

I must admit to being impressed with the 4T-3T land-it-ON-the-boards, though. Well done. Was that 2013 Worlds, because he wasn't the only one to strike the boards - but Max did have a little more running edge before he smacked them.
