If the guy is dumb enough to walk that fast and recklessly on solid ice in sneakers he probably deserves to wipe out. D’oh.

But… it’s not funny. One crack of the skull on that stuff and you’re a head of lettuce for the remainder of what life you have left.

Oh well whatever it takes for a news story I guess. Maybe the press can film the danger of bullets next.

Kind of funny — as long as it wasn’t me hitting the concrete.

But the guy is OK, he’s Irish — those Irish people are tough.

Holy crap! That guy hit his head hard! That’s got to be at least a concussion–maybe even a skull fracture.

LOL! Good times. :-)

oh dear…guess he won’t be in such a hurry to work tomorrow.

Should he have been warned? Like somehow it’s the cameraman’s fault for this guy not using common sense when walking on ice covered sidewalks? You can’t fix stupid no matter how hard you try. We see this all the time on our highways with drivers exceeding the safe speed limits for the prevailing conditions. Then they wonder why they are in the ditch.

That was a blow to the head! I bet he’s getting coloring books for Christmas.

One mans hell is another mans paradise. My brother LOVED it when the streets had about an inch of ice on them. He would take out his bike and slide around. Nothing brought him more joy. I would tell him he was going to crack his head open, and he just didn’t care. It wasn’t like he wasn’t smart enough to understand the risk. He’s a physicist.

katy…true if you survive. Wasn’t it Atkins ( the diet guy) who was killed that way? Also my friends dad.

The Irish have NO experience with ice. It’s time they add an ice class to their schools.

Scott   January 14th, 2010 - 11:44 am

If it was a bus on railroad tracks and a train coming would you get the kid off or film it? I comes to say who we are by what we do. The reporter is a low life just to let it happen..

That sounded like somebody bouncing a basketball on a court.

anne can   January 14th, 2010 - 2:16 pm

How horrible to let someone get hurt (maybe seriously) for some footage. Crap is going to come down on this reporters head I bet.

hometown   January 14th, 2010 - 3:11 pm

Yea right Scott…….. it’s all done in the name of saving the children. This was a grown man that knew the risk involved… HE WAS NOT A CHILD!! So get over your liberal self righteous self and go hug a tree. When are people going to take some flipping responsibility for their own actions in life instead of acting like somehow they are a victim…………. Go forth, find yourself a pair of cahonas and GROW UP!!

Terry   January 14th, 2010 - 5:35 pm

It’s all the Zionist’s fault. The Mossad is watering the pavements at night to make them slippery.

USArtguy   January 21st, 2010 - 10:51 am

Could the fall have been staged? Perhaps by the reporter himself… sets camera on tripod, carries sack he brought with him, records a few falls… does editing and voice over back at the studio.
