Two Friends Head to Work When One Loses Balance on the Stairs

Certain mornings deliver their surprises quickly and inevitably.

Ariel, the person filming, posted this footage from Cottage Grove in the United States.

A stationary security camera captures two friends approaching a staircase.

As they begin to descend, one individual loses their balance and falls down the steps, causing a shoe to fly off and land separately.

The unexpected yet typical scene, along with the rogue shoe, creates a moment that can only be perfectly timed by a fixed camera.
