Way back in navy boot camp they taught us to shoot a .45, and that was one of the warnings: The recoil will get you if you don't know what to expect.

They should have warned her.

First , one does not stomp grapes with your feet, you press them. It is harder than it looks.

Second, there is a reason people are trained in the proper way to press grapes so they don't lose their balance. (hint, they don't stomp around)

Third, why the hell would someone take an unexperienced person and have them press (stomp grapes on a raised platform with no guardrails???????

Dunno who was more stupid, the poor girl who fell or the idiot who produced this farce.

Hope she was not seriously hurt, it looked like a bad fall

I echo firewall, nothing funny here

Funny is when a trained comedian "slips" and gets banana cream on their butt as part of an act.

Funny is not when someone truly falls from 3+ feet on to their face and then complains of trouble breathing.

So you dont think any of that was slightly exaggerated?

Using only the information presented, I saw no indication of any thing being exaggerated.

Do you think this reporter faked this? Did not look like it to me. The people in the studio sure did not seem to think it was exaggerated.

I hope she was ok.

After all, she said she couldn't breathe, but she didn't stop talking did she? Still, I do hope she wasn't too badly hurt.
