“Doing segway” is a sport, right? It’s a thing with wheels. That’s sports enough for me.
Anyway, World Wide Interweb’s latest video of Segway fails is delightful, and a lengthy, illustrated example of why we should not create those Wall-E chairs that let us float around as fat people in space. Highlights include the girl in the banner image running into a wall and getting trapped under her own giant walking device, a bomb squad guy (?) faceplanting, and that horrible thing that happens where you try to catch your balance and end up crotching yourself on the handlebars.
Video is below.
I wasn’t sure whether or not I should say mean things about the people in the compilation, but the YouTube comments helped me out a little by saying every mean thing imaginable. So if you feel bad about thinking that they are hilarious jerks, go right ahead, because somebody else said this:

Gob made it look so easy.
Also, the choice of music was magnificent!
couldn’t agree more. this is what that song was destined for
Am I a terrible person for finding it funnier when fat people fall of the segway?
no.
Because science has proven a very strong natural correlation between fat people falling and comedy. Don’t fight it. Embrace it.
0:52 Is that Roger Goodell? Can I pretend it’s Roger Goodell?
The guys doing using it as a golf cart are real assholes. You don’t want to walk on a golf course? Rent a cart, asshole, it’s like an extra $10.
I can’t believe I’m defending segway users, but isn’t a segway a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation than a golf cart? They could be lazy golfers that kind of care about the environment.
Maybe a segway messes up the grass more than a golf cart. I don’t know. Just a thought. It’s really not worth discuss.
Is that dude at 1:01 seriously “Off-Road Segwaying.” The most amazing mixture of Mountain Dew XTREME and crippling lameness ever.
I learned so much from this video; namely, that there are off-road and three wheeled Segways.
I think this is proof that you have 0% chance of doing these 2 things at once:
- Riding a Segway
- Not looking like a nerdy douchebag
Pick the one that is more important to you and go with it.
when you wear elbow pads and a helmet on a segway arent u just asking to fall?
