It’s an important point. But it’s also important to distinguish. If a person falls, etc, but doesn’t get hurt, that’s acceptable. However, when a person gets hurt, it’s not funny. However, if you still find it funny you’re sadistic. Sick. Because you’re laughing while someone is suffering. And if you don’t get this, how about if the next time you, or your family, has to go to the hospital, how would you like it if a group of people posted pictures of you online, and then laughed at you, during your suffering. Wouldn’t be so funny then.

Hester,

Thank you! I wasn't quite convinced.

No sh#t Sherlock!

Ernestine, Maybe if the hand rails were not covered???

Johannes,

Exactly, I can find no medical purpose for this. I mean maybe as a scar reduction right after surgery, but on healthy skin???
