Real-life slapstickFact: When someone walks into a lamp-post it makes a very satisfying and hugely hilarious "Ding!" noise. However, it is not quite so funny when the post is in the middle of town and you are the victim. Tell us about hilarious prat-falls.
Thanks to Bob Todd for the suggestion

No brakes.I liked nothing more in the summer holidays a few years back than riding my beat up old mountain bike around with my friend D.
One day though, my bike was fucked, so I borrowed my sister's. It was purple, with pink bits, and the brakes were shite.
I was riding up the road just going past D's house, when a car came up behind me, so I moved to one side, since it was a choice between getting run over or shifting ass. Heading straight towards D's dad's car, I braked. They didn't work.
Bear in mind I was travelling at about 3mph here, so when my front wheel hit the car's bumper, there was no dramatic buckling or crash; I simply slid over the handlebars and headbutted the car neatly in the centre of the bonnet.
D's dad drove around with an unexplainable dent in his bonnet for several years.
