With that barrier in place, the visiting announcers likely couldn't see how far down it was or that there was no safety net. Once they realized (by the crowd still looking down) that Stone wasn't getting up, they started expressing concern. I'm not saying it's okay to laugh at ANYONE who falls but it's a learned reaction for most people who have no reason to believe the person isn't perfectly fine.
