A cautionary tale to all of us who like to dabble in extreme shoes, this poor graduate in killer heels keeps falling… and falling… and falling. It’s the fall that will not end. It’s the fall that begs to become a viral gif. It’s the fall that you never want to have, and it occurred on camera at graduation. Poor girl.

Every time we watch this we think, “No! Don’t do it! Don’t try for that cartwheel down the graduation steps!” Why can’t we look away? Why don’t we want to look away?

Sure, people have been falling at graduations since the beginning of graduations (and maybe since the dawn of time), but this trip and fall down the stairs is on another level of awkward and pain. Ow! Wow! That looks like it hurts.

This guy got his degree in performance voice, and as his final adieu to school, he entertained everyone at the graduation ceremony with a spectacular face plant. It’s perfect, and it’s worth watching again and again.
