Flavor Flav breaks bobsled during Olympic photo shoot in Italy

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (NBC, KYMA) - Rapper Flavor Flav broke new ground, and a bobsled, during an Olympic photo shoot in Cortina, Italy Sunday.

Flav, who is best known as a founding member of legendary hip-hop act Public Enemy, was climbing out of bobsled that has been on display in the Town Centre when he lost his balance, fell, and ripped part of the sled off.

While Flav did stick the landing, the broken part also landed on the ground. Before inspecting the damage, he declared, "Ain't my fault."

The American music star is at the Winter Olympics as the official "hype man" of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton teams.
