Same feeling you get when you imagine what it’s like falling from a big height on your bottoms. I always wonder why this feeling happens only there and only when relating to someone falling on his back/spine, be it when watching a video or someone telling a story.
When we watch someone fall or get hurt in a video, our brains can imagine what it would feel like if it happened to us. This can make us feel like we’re experiencing the same pain, even though we’re just watching a video. If you Google “vicarious pain” you’ll find more on it.
