Bush falls off Segway

 

[B@rt]

I saw that on the news here a few days ago... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif

I also noticed another article : Special Delivery dated 01-14-'02 ...[ QUOTE ]
During his speech, Bush cited Kamen after he noticed him at the back of the crowd, and later the president chatted with the inventor, who told him he had a Segway downstairs. Secret Service agents quickly brought it up to the floor, and the president rode it around. He picked up how to use it right away, Kamen said.

I think I found the pretzel choking episode a lot funnier. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twak.gif
Arent you glad there're no cameras present when WE have embarrassing moments? (Like the time I fell out of a public bus and landed on my butt in front of nearly a hundred witnesses. No, I'm not kidding.) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You just can't help it when Bush does things like this...

It's an amazing device, but it's not completely idiot-proof.

I heard on the news that he "leaned too far forward" and over he went. There were no video cameras, just the paparazzi with regular Pentaxes and Nikons. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

I saw another fellow who went forward too much and fell forward on his face. I'll see if I can find the link to it.

So, how did your fearless leader in Canada fall and bump his head?

I wasn't aware he had fallen recently (??) If it did happen, I'm sure he made a self-deprecating joke about it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I thought it was gyroscopically stabilized.

[Rothrandir]

only to a point though...

 

[Darell]

Funny. I would have expected him to fall futher to the Right.

Doh!

 

[Floating Spots]

I'm having trouble finding it.
The link was from HardOCP.com, but it has since fallen off the main page. I didn't turn it up in search either....

 

[snakebite]

bet he was chewing gum while trying to ride it!

 

[Empath]

Segway? What's that? Some brand of turnip truck?

We're still going to have to get a ducking-and-running graemlin sometime

Excuse me while I go into terminal eyeroll mode. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

 

[B@rt]

Hmmm...

 

[iddibhai]

i thought you couldn't switch it off, it always stood up. if that is true, then the first pic shows the person (whoever it is) leaning it BACK to get on...a NO NO. one just steps on the platform.

i could very well be wrong considering i haven't slept in in the last 18hrs /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
