Dude makes extremely smooth save after face-planting on the stairs

Nobody even noticed a thing.

If you've ever walked down a flight of stairs, you probably also share an irrational fear of falling down with an crowd of people watching you. It's OK, it's totally normal.

This dude decided to play it real risky and use his phone while walking down the left side on a staircase. Unfortunately, he failed to notice the landing in the center of the staircase, and he tumbled face-first flailing down a few steps before making a miraculously smooth recovery.

It seems as if he pulled off the fall without a single soul noticing his embarrassment, except the camera, of course.

And now the internet.
