No, it is not natural to laugh at someone falling at first when they are falling that many feet down. 20 feet? I don't think the announcers should be fired. It's more of a learning lesson.

I remember years ago when I was at a college football game. A fan was carelessly joking around the edge and fell. He only fell about 3 feet and we STILL all said "ooooooooooooh" and watched in silence. It wasn't until he jumped back up 2 seconds later and went back to his joking self with no need for medical attention that we all burst out laughing.
