Oh wow. You are right, I found that it is an actually actress in the Conan video. Strange that they would pretend like this without adding some note. I cannot find that she sued the show.
The woman is OK but she did get injured so I will remove that as it is insensitive given that context.

Edit: you could've edited your post imo to include the fact that the conan clip was a parody on the tragedy
Ah, thanks. I understood that she sued the show for making the parody. Glad she got a settlement for it.
I was comfortable sharing this as something funny because I thought that the woman herself could look back at it and laugh. But finding out that this might not be true changes how I feel about presenting this to others emphasizing the funny angle, if that makes sense. The video of the incident will be very funny to some people but to others it could be terribly uncomfortable to watch.
