The danger of audience participation is you never quite know how it's going to go.

You could end up with a glorious, widely-celebrated collaboration that changes the audience member's life as well as propelling you to even greater heights of viral fame — or you could get dropped off a stage.

Unfortunately for Lady Gaga, she found herself experiencing the latter when she brought a fan up on stage during her Las Vegas show on Thursday.

There are multiple angles showing the fall on Twitter, and they all look... painful.

Apparently the fan gave her a letter, which prompted her to bring him up on stage in the first place.

The good news? It sounds as though the two came away from the fall unscathed.

Gaga even took to Instagram after her performance to show herself recovering (swipe right).

Ouch.
