Jamie Shoebridge, a 24-year-old server at Sprinters restaurant in Nottingham, England, has become something of an internet sensation after surveillance footage captured him falling while carrying four plates out to the dining area — and barely spilling a single morsel of food.

“It’s all a blur and I’m not sure how it happened.”

The footage shows Shoebridge, a supervisor, walking out of the kitchen with a plate of food in one hand, and a tray containing three more plates in the other. Only seconds later, Shoebridge slips and falls into a potted plant, knocking over the plant and landing on the ground.

“I lost my footing and fell down face first,” Shoebridge later said of the incident, which occurred on Feb. 9 during lunch service, the Nottingham Post reports. “There was some peppercorn sauce on the floor and I slipped on it.”
