I feel bad laughing, and you do have to give it up to the actors for not crying and running off stage.
Peter Pan Fiasco
I totally agree. I won't even lie, I was cracking up when I first saw this. The actors certainly handled it well.
Why does this get posted every day?
ETA...though I do always chuckle when the man in the audience states the obvious: "that's not good."

Oh has this already been posted? If so I will delete.
It has.
Another classic.

Another consequence of videotaping, in violation of your agreement with MTI!!!!!
why was there a baby crying through out the entire performance? Why didn't the parents take the child out? That could not have helped the situation at all lol

The part that got me in the Peter Pan clip was hearing the actor scream, "OH MY GOD!" as he goes flying across the room. I had to rewind that part like 10 times.
The dance peter does at the end cracks me up! Reminds me of Ashlee Simpson!
Also, there's a link titled "What Happened After" if you look on the side bar of the previously posted video. It's almost equally tragic.

I hate to admit it but i laughed at both parts. Does that make me a bad person?

Heck, this beats a community theater production I saw where the homemade harness SNAPPED OFF the little girl who was playing Jane...luckily before she was airborne.
At least they were airborne at all. I was John in a community theatre production where they literally made us run around with our arms thrown out. It was humiliating.

Interestingly enough, they aren't the only Peter Pan production to make the exact same mistake...this one isn't quite as amusing though..
Another Peter Pan Fail

Oh God, get over yourself. Even the people who work for MTI break those agreements and tape shows for themselves.
These vids are a good example of why you must hire professionals when doing something as dangerous as flying an actor. Someone could easily get killed or seriously injured. -Debbie Downer
