New Laser Doppler Velocimetry measurements are presented of the probability density function of velocity increments for pipe flow at very low Reynolds number. It will be shown that stretched exponentials provide a good model to the tails of the density function. This result parallels that already known for fully developed turbulence and gains further experimental evidence to the concept of extended self-similarity for very low Reynolds number.
