Madonna falls onstage at the 2015 BRIT Awards.

Luckily for us "normal" people, when something embarrassing happens - like falling, slipping, or worse - there's no paparazzi around to capture the incident.

But celebrities and famous politicians are not so fortunate.

Here, a collection of some of the most embarrassing falls caught right on camera for everyone to see. If these make you cringe, at least you can rest assured that even Heidi Klum isn't perfect.
