Segway Face Plant Video Is Poetry in Motion

by Dan Reilly on January 28, 2009 at 09:43 AM


This video has been around for a while now, but it's just so much fun to watch that we couldn't resist posting it again. Of course, we hope the woman seen smacking her kisser against the pavement is okay, we still laugh every time. Some of our favorite parts:
  • The cocky woman at the beginning who's singing and dancing on her Segway. You just know things won't end well.
  • About 7 seconds in, when it looks like all four women are too close together, so you think they're going to hit each other but they're fine. It's kind of like in horror movies when a cat jumps out and startles the audience before the killer appears a few seconds later. You know what we mean.
  • Around 8 to 10 seconds in, they speed away from the camera and you think the shot of the fall will be from a distance. Then, the genius behind the camera zooms in and all is good.
  • The face plant itself, when you realize it's not the singing woman, you hear the gasps of the onlookers, and you're treated to the little remix editing at the end.
  • The fact that it's only 20 seconds long, so you can watch it over and over while wasting only a minimal amount of time analyzing it.
