Does anyone else laugh when Chekov falls (ST IV)??

I did not laugh at all when Chekov took that tumble. However, while hearing Sigourney Weaver's skiing accident in WORKING GIRL which temporarily placed her leg in a cast, I did laugh along with most of the theatergoers....probably because it was as un-Ripley-like as one could get. That ''WHOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!'' still echoes in my chimpanzee brain.
 
Yeah, I never got the sense that Han's line was supposed to be perceived as humorous.

But back on the topic of Chekov, no, I don't laugh at him falling because serious injury isn't funny in something like this. It's not like a practically-invincible cartoon character slipping on a banana peel or something.
