Ahum. Yes, it does happen every once and awhile during the Tour de France, but I wouldn't call it "funny". At the speed they're riding, it's actually quite common that severe injuries are sustained... A few years back one of the riders even died when there was a massive fall downhill and the poor guy smashed with his head on a concrete pile. You may laugh all you want, but it's quite tragic actually.
