That's as much as an assumption as saying they were clueless to the height of the fall. So my point still stands. While it's not "okay" to laugh at anyone who falls, regardless of the distance, it is the first reaction of many if not most people to whom it is not obvious the person is fine. I don't think it's right (especially for the announcers, part of a professional staff) but with AFV and other blooper shows that tend to condition people to laugh at potentially injurious situations, I wouldn't expect anything else. Should they be fired? No. Should they act more sensitively to similar incidents from now on? Yes.
