A cameraman at Wimbledon had a very embarrassing moment Monday as he fell over backwards and was pinned to the ground by his own camera.
It happened as the cameraman (whose name is Colin according to some sources) had his tripod positioned to film Elena Vesnina signing autographs after her first round upset victory over Venus Williams. It's unclear why Colin fell, although the canvas barrier nearby appeared to be the likely culprit.
Poor Colin was pinned down for a few seconds until a security guard and a few others nearby helped to get the camera off of him. Colin appeared to be OK, except for the bruised ego he suffered from being a bit embarrassed.
