To think this from the BBC isn't funny, it's quite sick

It's a video of the games 'most painful moments' set to quite a mocking tune, in the style of you've been framed. It includes the injury the hockey player go to her face and a German weightlifter with a 196kg weight falling on his neck.

I found it worrying to watch and really felt for some of the athletes, I wouldn't be surprised from some sources but I'm really surprised the BBC would think it was approriate to show in this format.

Anyone can do slapstick comedy and laugh at other people's mishaps. It's mildly funny in the right context, e.g. in a comedy show when no-one actually gets hurt. But real people getting hurt isn't funny, is it? Even if it's not "life threatening"

There are so many other types of humour out there which are much funnier :o

If it was just to educate people on the riskier side of sport it wouldn't be set to the banana splits music!

Canoe. I wasn't aware this was a thread which required helpful comments

I've had quite a lot of injuries, and I find I'm not very amused by watching people having accidents.

p.s.

IIRC my right upper arm has never been injured.

YABU It's hilarious!!
