There are not many good trippers and/or fallers left in the world today. Falling down can be done for amusement, damage, or injury. I will list some of the most popular falls and a few of the more dangerous ones. I The Open Space Trip =================== This is an easy fall to do. All you need is some open floor ahead of you, say about 20 feet, and absolutely nothing in your path. This is of great importance. Start walking at a reasonable pace, and either catch your foot on the ground or the back of your other heel. Trip and hit the ground. (As with all falls, be sure to land on your upper arm\shoulder region. NEVER land on your knees or elbows, as great pain can occur.) For added effect, slap the ground real hard and roll around. People will either a.) look at you like you are asshole, or b.) stop and see if you are ok. This fall is done for amusement purposes only. II The Shoe Rack Fall ================== This fall is done with intent to cause damage or a mess to a storefront. As with the open space trip, walk at a casual pace. Make sure to talk to your friends or look at something while you are walking. Now, this next part can be done in 2 ways. Either trip and fall into the rack, scattering merchandise everywhere, or you can walk straight into the rack like you never knew it was there. This one makes more of a mess, because you will take out the whole rack. Tripping into it only causes a minor mess. Remember not to fall onto the rack. It may be sharp and you can get hurt. III The Take Someone Out Trip ========================= This is a personal favorite of mine. Find someone walking along and get about 2-3 feet behind him or her. Trip and make sure you clip the back of the person's legs. This will cut the legs out from under the person, causing him/her to fall and possibly drop whatever they are carrying. DO NOT do this to someone who could possibly beat you up. This is best done on little kids, dorks, and older men. IV The Escalator Fall ================== DO NOT attempt this fall until you feel you have mastered the basics of falling down. This will almost definately cause injury to you or other people. Step onto a crowded escalator. Try to move so that you either slip or trip on the step. Let yourself fall and roll down the escalator. You will knock down anything in your path. Very funny if done right. Another version of this one is the bottom of the escalator fall. As you are stepping off, catch your toe in the area where the steps begin to go under the floor. Fall down. If possible, knock something over. V The Inanimate Object Fall ========================= Very simple fall. Can be done in a variety of places. Walk, and just fall over something in your way. Preferably a plant or one of those children's rides that you put a quarter in. Chairs also work well in this situation. If you are feeling really wild, you can go for the Fountain Fall. This is done in public places where there is a fountain in the floor. If there is no wall protecting it, just trip and fall right in. If there is a wall, have someone shove you or bang into it and flip right into the water. VI The Sonofabitch Fall ==================== Lots of fun. Get in a VERY crowded area, such as the exit of a soprts arena, where everyone is packed in tightly. When the people start to walk, throw yourself forward into the crowd, and scream "Sonofabitch!!!!!" It will shove the whole crowd forward, and stops everyone behind you. While on the ground, scream "Shit!!! I'm being trampled!!!!!" It adds to the effect. These are a few of the falls you can do. Feel free to make your own as you go along.
