That would make me mad...yet if I saw someone in front of me splash down, I'd probably laugh.

Cuz some of the people are laughing their asses off right after they go in the drink, which would not be the typical normal reaction.
And look at the last group of people.....one of them basically JUMPS into the thing.
Obviously faked.
Never mind that especially with the bikes, the risk of serious injury or a lawsuit would be enormous. Nobody would be stupid enough to deliberately do this to strangers.
I hope not, anyway.
But in any case it's clearly faked.

Obviously fake. Most people would not be laughing if that happened, they would be taking desperate measures to make sure they weren't drowning, or they would be coughing the water out of their lungs, which they would have inhaled because they weren't expecting to be in the water all of a sudden.
And yes, if someone were injured doing this (and it seems a fair guess that someone would be, eventually) the tort suit would be huge, and not just in America. . . they would sue you for that in Britain or Europe too, rest assured.
One set looked real to me.
Wasn't that filmed in Maine in June 2006?
I think I stepped on some of those bog bridges.

Fake, but indeed funny. Wouldn't be nearly as funny if it wasn't fake, however, as someone would have gotten seriously injured. The cameraman if nobody else. Just sayin'.
who says it's a fake?George Carlin:D
That was quite humerous, luckily fake.

Because they have better beer.

Not that I have any real knowledge of the incident... but I heard Jack yelling bloody murder when in went into a hole that was a prank.

You notice ALL the "victims" were walking perfectly side-by-side so that all fell in exactly together? Not a single case of any victim not falling in with the others.
I vote we do this on the AT, but so that it'll support the weight of hikers, but not the weight of motorcycles nor horses!

no wonder there is so much litigation in this country...none of you have a sense of humor. I would laugh my ass off if that happened to me then I would sit and watch for the next person.

If it was a natural sinkhole yes. But you know you would warn the next person.

No, I can see Geek sitting there and waiting for the next person to fall in for a good laugh!! I'm with him, I'd laugh my arse off too if it happened to me, and then wish I thought of it first!!
