"possible explanation for the humor is the detachment most people feel from the person injured on TV or in an Internet video. In addition to a person they probably don't know personally, the detachment can stem from the situation where the person gets hurt, which is often somewhat outlandish -- like an absurd skateboarding stunt."
In the 40 years I have been involved in residential and commercial construction; I have seen a handful of trucks turn over and nobody has been seriously hurt (well except their pride, usually due to the error they made that caused the truck to turn over).
