And the front-row fashionistas (in Charleston??) do nothing.

I would have at least gotten up from my chair to try to help the woman .... (after I was done laughing).

I love how she falls a little bit, then a little bit more, then it's just the top of her head and then she's gone completely. It's like the beginning of "Jaws" set to the soundtrack of "American Gigolo."

I love how the guy with the tan jacket falls in, and you know the only reason he didn't fall all the way in is because he's on top of that poor model.

I guess making the runway out of sheets of paper suspended across an abyss is one way to weed out the fat models.

Goober_Pea — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:44:44 EDT

Was there some sort of mystical forcefield attached to those center panels? When the designer hits them she suddenly stiffens, like a robot gone haywire. And then that guy in the brown jacket is doing fine and then is sucked down.

But still funny. But, when is someone falling down (albeit without major injury) not funny?
