I've never fainted in public (or anywhere else), but I've fallen over plenty of times and even that is embarrassing.
Actually, I suppose that *should* be, whereas fainting isn't your fault.

Bleurgh.

The mortuary?
You have to be so careful when someone collapses - there could be a number of reasons. Look at the actress who died after a skiing accident. A friend who bumped his head didn't feel the effects for several days and ended up having an operation on his spine.
Embarrassing public falls:
I slipped on a grape in Tescos and did the splits. A spotty faced youth came bounding up to me with a first aid box in his hand. He was most disappointed to be sent away.
Hahaha! Ace.
I slipped (on nothing) and extravagantly fell flat on my face in front of a busy Ealing tube station, my friend helped me up, leaned towards me and I thought she was going to ask if I was okay, but she just whispered 'that was really embarrassing' and walked off.

Hope that never appears on YouTube.
