00:09 - Howdy, I'm J.J. Fate, the Fall Guy.
00:18 My middle name is Jonah and Jinx is in there too.
00:23 Hoodoo fits me like a glove, but Fate's my name to you.
00:28 Now this is an average neighborhood.
00:31 These are average homes.
00:34 Average people live in these homes.
00:36 And here comes an average citizen home from work.
00:40 (orchestral music)
00:42 Safe at home.
00:59 He thinks.
01:00 Ah yes, be it ever so humble.
01:06 There's no place like home.
01:09 To have an accident.
01:12 Do you realize that nearly five million people
01:14 suffered in home accidents last year?
01:17 And everybody blames me, dag nabbit.
01:20 Just for example.
01:22 (door creaking)
01:26 Everything happens to me.
01:28 It's Fate.
01:29 That's what it is, Fate.
01:31 Listen to him blame me for his carelessness.
01:35 You know, accidents just don't happen by themselves.
01:39 They must be carelessly planned in advance.
01:43 So step right up and have an accident.
01:46 The average home is really a complicated piece of machinery
01:49 equipped with all the modern conveniences
01:52 for having an accident.
01:55 If you insist.
01:56 (thunder crashing)
01:58 He did.
01:59 This one is called a throw rug for obvious reasons.
02:06 Accidents happen fast, don't they?
02:12 Let's just slow the picture down
02:16 and see how he accomplished it.
02:20 Note how easy it is to have an accident.
02:25 Just a few carelessly misplaced objects.
02:31 Hold it, we missed one.
02:32 Let's try that again.
02:33 And there you have it.
02:46 An awkward attitude by an inattentive,
02:48 accident prone individual.
02:51 Well, here we go again.
02:53 It's hard to believe,
03:15 but Mr. Duck is really an upstanding average citizen
03:18 with average intelligence.
03:21 Kind, considerate, jolly, and usually very cautious.
03:25 He wouldn't take a chance sitting in an electric chair,
03:28 but look at the chances he takes around his home.
03:31 Everyone knows it's stupid to overload electrical equipment.
03:38 Frayed cords, frazzled nerves.
03:43 (mumbling)
03:46 (mumbling)
03:48 He certainly wouldn't put his head in a lion's mouth,
03:54 but so now he's cooking with gas.
03:58 He's gonna burn his hand.
04:09 (yelping)
04:12 (mumbling)
04:16 Cleaning fluid plus stove equals
04:21 a sure fire method for removing spots.
04:23 He wouldn't think of going over Niagara Falls in a barrel,
04:34 but this particular maneuver is called falling downstairs.
04:39 There are many ways of doing this.
04:44 If you aren't careful,
04:45 the bumps a daisy half twist.
04:50 Jelly roll.
04:54 Catapult high dive.
04:59 Climbing Mount Everest.
05:03 Riding a roller coaster.
05:08 Now, Mr. Duck doesn't take chances.
05:12 He's just careless.
05:14 (thudding)
05:15 Oh yes, that's one I forgot to mention.
05:19 - That's the last one.
05:20 I'm going to look for it safe.
05:32 - This is an average neighborhood.
05:42 These are average homes.
05:44 Average people live here.
05:47 Having average accidents
05:50 because they don't use average intelligence.
05:53 It's like I said, don't blame fate for your carelessness.
