    Segways are pretty great for steadyshots, when used properly. It looks like his wheel went up and over something.

    It's a good job he had taken his shoes off. Wouldn't have been as funny if the spikes on those got stuck in the track as he was hit.

    I bet the camera man would be shot if bolt broke his leg

    Heard bolt say in an interview after that Justin Gatlin had probably paid the man in the Segway. Lol

    You have to love big Usain. What a legend!!

    This is how a segway + a trained camera operator could produce -

    Yeah, he was laughing and joking about it afterwards while others were calling for the cameraman's head

    For the fastest man on the planet he seems genuinely laid back and easy going.

    I mean a gyroscopic stabaliser would do the same, cost less, be easier to operate and carry a lot less risk... but yeah

    I don't see why such a setup would be necessary on an athletics track.. just to film a celebration
