Can we just consider Segways a failed experiment at this point and throw them into the sea?

 

[phaonaut]

That would be a terrible way to end your career.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Use a Segway instead of a steadicam. Okay.

Or get a chicken.

 

[Always-honest]

Stupid things.... And people look so stupid on them.

 

[Willectro]

Nice piece of driving that was.

 

[Yoshichan]

Don't ever feel sorry for anyone on a segway ever. Don't you fall into that trap.

But do you honestly think that he wants to be on that segway? It's his job.

Oh god that poor man.

Ok, good point.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Cameraman didn't download his stability updates.

 

[Yoshichan]

Oh god that poor man.

He'll most likely get fired and might not be able to provide for his family.

 

[ODDI]

Cameraman didn't download his stability updates.

This is gonna be part of the next stability thread isn't it?

Could have been a lot more serious. Tear up a knee and sue the hell out of that TV station.

 

[Shahadan]

Worlds fastest man vs unknown clumsy ass camera man. Makes sense.

This reasoning is sad.

 

[PSqueak]

i half expected this thread title to be a gaffer's username, along the lines of the mortal kombat characters doing mundane things as usernames

My fave running gag with user names in gaf.

 

[Slime]

Fuckin' Segways.

 

[Ingeniero]

I feel bad for the camera man, it looks like he got hit hard on the head by the $5000 camera.

 

[Trouble]

I like how no one gives a shit about the guy on the segway.

That includes the guy on the segway.

 

[Kurdel]

"Oh, was that your fastest human?"

 

[Dennis]

Clearly on drugs.

The cameraman? Yes, probably. Drunk driving.

 

[B-Dubs]

Or get a chicken.

Perfection.

 

[Kieli]

Yeesh...

The economics don't make much sense when you can injure a person who generates millions of dollars in revenue with a couple hundred dollar machine and a clumsy driver...

 

[MetatronM]

That's what I'm stuck on.

Wouldn't a decent steadicam be cheaper than that mobile monstrosity?

Is this something that a lot of camera men do?

These are not mutually exclusive things. For one thing, good luck trying to keep up with a high speed race on foot with a Steadicam. That shit is heavy.

There's also a Steadicam/Segway combo out there called a Steadiseg. This guy wasn't using it, though.
