Woman Trips Out During "Deal or No Deal," Sues

Deal or No DealIf you thought watching an episode of "Deal or No Deal" was painful, try being in the audience!

A woman is suing the production company behind the hit game show, after she tripped and fell down a flight of steps during a taping in February, 2006.

According to the lawsuit,obtained by TMZ, Judy Ann Myers claims that during a commercial break, the show's stage manager instructed her to "hurry up and come down" the stairs to perform in an audience dance contest. As Myers hurried to the stage, she claims to have completely wiped out, suffering "great and considerable personal injuries" all over her body. In the suit, Myers blames her bad trip on bad lighting -- and that there were no hand rails on the stairs.

Now Myers is asking a judge for more than $25,000 to heal her wounds. Better call the banker, Howie!

Calls to reps for "Deal or No Deal" were not immediately returned.

91. if the woman was at home watching the show ,got up to pee ,went to the kitchen during a commercial decided to have a snack,put microwave popcorn in,and hurried to get back in time after the commercial, grabbed the popcorn, tripped on her carpet,fell and broke her foot,choked onher first peice of popcorn while rushing back to her t.v. chair ,not to risk a moment of missing the next reaction of the contestant of the bankers next offer,dragged herself up to her laz-e-boy accidently hitting the recliner handle......her cordless GEphone failed to connect when she attempted to call 911 ,she started to choke on an unpopped kernal and attempted to take a drink of her diet coke but the bottom of the can was slightly bent and slid off of the end of the endtable that she bought at Wal-Mart at80% off and seemed to be a little uneven and wobbley all the time . the poor woman managed to sit upright coughed up the deadly kernal of unpopped corn,successfully managed to reach911, went to the nearest emergency room via ambulance and saw the end of deal or no deal while reclining in a chair in the waiting room. the cafeteria sent her a meal that she requested .later her ankle and foot were x-rayed treated and she was sent home with proper care instructions and totally recovered within a reasonable amount of time..the human body is like that with proper care it hasthe ability to heal itself from minor injuries and major catastrophic injury with proper care and time. I THINK it is people like Ms.Myers are the ones who make it so hard for the honest hard working people to obtain our own coverage at an affordable price. everytime these ridiculous lawsuits are setteled the cost of every policyholder with that company for coverage goes up to cover their loss as an american citizen she should be ashamed of herself for even whining about her small misfortune... the scenario i wrote above,did have a purpose.ask yourself this. should the woman seek compensation from orville reddinboker,lazeboy,cocacola,berbercarpet,gephone,local911,saudervillefurniture,walmart, the only person that caused this accident was she herself because thats all that it was an accident and if she is well enough to file charges then she is well enough to get a life i dont think thjat we have young men and women fightig this war for that kind of freedom..freedom to obtain whatever you can from the big companies, and to make up their loss the little man pays the cost!

94. Judy Ann Myers should have asked herself one questions before attending the show... "Heels or No Heels?" Shame on her for being such a baby.
