Trend Hunter has visited the recurring theme of professional model slipping on the catwalks on several occasions.
Today, we are going to introduce quite a few of the worst and most severe cases of professional catwalkers who have succumbed to dangerous runways and/or ridiculously high heels and have, literally, tripped and fell flat on their faces or their behinds.
The cases presented here vary in degree of severity, but there has been at least one instance where a model (Jessica Stam) left the catwalk with a bloodied face.
Those slippery catwalks are indeed treacherous.
Apropos nothing, would it be too corny to rename this video "A Catwalk Named Disaster"?
