She has appeared on the cover of the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue three times.
And though Kate Upton has veteran savvy, her chances of gracing the front for a fourth time could have been swept away.
Video footage was released by the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Instagram on Tuesday of the 25-year-old model being knocked off a rock by a huge wave during a shoot in Aruba.

Luckily she did not fall directly onto the rock too hard and seemed to walk away from the incident with minimal damage.
In the short clip Kate gave her account of what happened as she explained: ‘The next wave coming, it didn’t look that large from my point of view but it must have hit the rock just right and caught on.’
