During a three-day trip to the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton slipped not once, but twice, as she descended a set of stairs at the historic Jahaz Mahal palace.
Video footage that surfaced Monday shows Clinton slipping and sliding on the stairs at Jahaz Mahal despite already having the help of an aide. The 70-year-old eventually ditched her sandals after the second slip and, thankfully, managed to traverse the rest of the staircase without further incident.

It should be noted that the second fail took place even after Clinton had a second person jump in to help her descend the stairway. Hillary Clinton has slipped on a set of stairs yet again, just five months after breaking her toe in London.
Top aide Huma Abedin was walking right behind Clinton during the incident.
