Recalling Falls

This thread was fun to look at and still can be if people would keep to the OP. This is meant to be about falls that were funny because they were odd, timed to music or strangely beautiful. Not horrific falls. Not carping about falls. Not debating falls. Just gently laughing at our faves' moments of ineptitude.

On that note, Dai pitching forward like that to the music made me howl. :laugh2: It looked like it did him too! Also, his concern for Patrick and sporting applause when he continued okay made me aww. :love:

Does it remind you of the way that so many threads that have nothing to do with Plushenko end up turning into Plushy-bashing fests? People who live in glass houses...

I remember when Morgan dropped Vanessa at Worlds last year - that looked painful. I would totally have a death stare if someone ever dropped me like some of these poor girls...with no apologies.

Do you remember when Daniel Wende dropped Maylin? At the Olympics, I think? He was very apologetic - but then, as I thought at the time, he didn't "just" drop his partner... he dropped his wife! ;)
 
In ice dance, the premier blooper reel video of falls belongs to Charlie White (with Meryl Davis in the role of the straight 'man,') as the three times falling person in one two minute forty second OD, commented on by the British Eurosport guys, who can't stop laughing.

And if you haven't seen it with the British Eurosport coverage, man, you just really haven't seen it.

btw, one of the most popular skating vids out there is this one of egregious falls

Lol that wasn't Charlie's day!
Yeah a lot of the falls on this video seem really painful. Especially the Miki one at the beginning, and the Carolina. And also the little girl in the blue, is that Caroline Zhang?

Mao's 2008 one in the take off of the triple axel was indeed very impressive :jaw:

Do you mean the 2012 fall in the death spiral https://youtu.be/BpkozDciJNkor the 2013 fall when he throws her https://youtu.be/QwUFWVkgw7Y?t=3m51s? I thought the 2012 one was quite sad actually but yeah the 2013 one was quite funny.
This made me think of another fall from them that was HILARIOUS: https://youtu.be/BFKIeI64QIk?t=2m47s

I was speaking of 2012 - it was not a good day for the Russian pairs in general, I found a video showing the 'low-lights' of the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emqYBnLs0Z8

*Side note, that Bring me to life program was awful, but boy did he look good :o:
 
I'm not sure how that can be explained without removing the concept of gravity 👀
 
Sara Wheat had a memorable fall in her SP at USN in 2000. She stumbed or fell her way all doing her footwork into a 3 jump, then proceeded to fall on that jump. It's not on YT, so you'd have to have been there to see it. She skated like a drunk driver!! lol
