Shinzo Abe reportedly lost his balance in a sand trap while playing golf with Donald Trump.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appeared to take a spill while climbing out of a sand trap during a golf game with President Donald Trump on Sunday.

But while Trump had his back turned and missed the spectacle, a Japanese news helicopter caught it in full.

After a man the video suggested was Abe chipped his way out of the trap, the camera caught him hustling to climb out of the steep bunker only to lose his balance at the top, sending him rolling backward. The man emerged unharmed.

The lapse in balance went largely unnoticed on the green, but luckily for the viewing public, nothing escaped the camera.
