[QUOTE]It transpired that the greatest threat to Usain Bolt in the 200 metres came not from Justin Gatlin but a rogue Segway scooter.
Moments after the finest sprinter in history had swept to victory in a time of 19.55sec, his fastest time over this distance since his win at the London Olympics, his priceless legs were taken out from underneath him courtesy of a photographer’s inept driving.[/QUOTE]

If you've ever driven a segway you know how oddly some of them can drive even with steering grips. Couple that with trying to steer with his legs and record in that tiny space I'm not surprised he bumped the wall and lost control
Next time just get a steadicam
there goes the leg :(
That's such hilarious timing.

That seems horrible to me.
dat roll

Can't something be horrible and funny?
That guy is going to get fired so damn hard.
That's just too much shit to carry around.

OK.
BTW steadicams are pretty heavy, on top of the camera and other crap you would have on it.
wtf usain didn't even check if the guy that hit him was ok, what a prick
i can't tell from the quality of the video if that is a smile of him laughing or a grimace in pain
the way he just somersaulted off his back onto his feet was hilarious

In the full video he does.
That poor camera :c
[QUOTE=zerosix;48554353]wtf usain didn't even check if the guy that hit him was ok, what a prick[/QUOTE]
My first reaction would probably be pain and feel like walking it off a bit as well.
If you are hurt it's hard to focus on other things.
Sorry to be that prick but it looks a bit to over reacting ? It's not like he was hit by a car at full speed.
[QUOTE=Kowalski;48554592]Sorry to be that prick but it looks a bit to over reacting ? It's not like he was hit by a car at full speed.[/QUOTE]
He hardly reacted at all other than getting up and limping after getting hit by a man, his camera, and segway. I don't think he at all reacted like he had been hit by a car at full speed...
You gotta realize this guys legs are his life and livelihood.
That guy was probably related to the kid who messed up that painting.
[QUOTE=_FR_Starfox64;48554419]In the full video he does.[/QUOTE]
Where do I find the full video?
I feel bad for the camera guy. It was clearly an accident and his first reaction is to check to see if usain is alright despite the fact he knows he's going to be in deep shit for that camera which probably costs thousands of dollars. Usain doesn't even stick around to check if the guy's alright, as if he doesn't need to.

He doesn't need to?
Frankly, if I hit someone with a segway, I'd be like "Holy shit I'm so sorry are you okay?"
On the other hand, if someone hit me with a segway I'd be more like "yeah whatever it's fine I'm going to keep walking now" or if they didn't fall off with me I'd be like "wow what a fucking asshole."
Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Plus, there's the fact that he just [I]knocked him over with a segway.[/I] If your first instinct is to go "oh no my camera" then you're an asshole anyway.
The cameraman may not have reacted from the shock of just hitting one of sports most famous men.

Camera and lens set up is probably around $15-25k depending on what lens it is.
Damn that is still pretty funny, but seriously stop using segways and walk like a real man.
[QUOTE=gdfsgdfg;48555780]Damn that is still pretty funny, but seriously stop using segways and walk like a real man.[/QUOTE]
His job is to get good shots, why intentionally impede them if you have a way to improve them
[QUOTE=gdfsgdfg;48555780]Damn that is still pretty funny, but seriously stop using segways and walk like a real man.[/QUOTE]
He's riding one for a steady camera shot.
[QUOTE=windwakr;48555164]Usain does walk back towards him, you can see it in this video:

What is it with American companies and not letting anyone outside of America watch their videos. Is our ad money not good enough or something?
Blocked in Canada too.
The camera guy though, he takes the camera to the head as well as Usain to the chest.
