Falling down

The other day, on my way home, people kept falling over in front of me:

  • A guy was cycling up towards Picadilly, turned right, got his tire caught in a tram line and went flying.
  • A girl at the bus stop stepped up to get on the bus, missed the bus completely and went over.
  • Getting off the bus in Chorlton, a girl slipped on the edge of the bus floor and narrowly missed faceplanting the pavement.

Of all the mutant superpowers in the world I could have, I get the ability to make people fall over in a comical fashion. Brilliant. Can I trade it for X-ray vision or the ability to be in two places at once, please?
