Ladies and Gentlemen, we have entered code ORANGE. Dont be alarmed, but we have reason to believe that the "axis of terror" tried to assasinate the president v.i.a tampering the segway. These evil doers WILL be brought to justice...

If these things are balanced for you then it's nearly physically impossible to fall off one. If they're not then it's nearly physically impossible to stay on one. Either way...

What is wrong with you people? Don't you realize that that is the built in security system of the Segway? They are calibrated to each individual owner. Unless you have a guest key for that particular Segway installed you get tossed off. READ PEOPLE READ!!

Way to distance yourself from the common man, Bushie! What, everyone doesn't scoot around on $5000 scooter toys all day? Why on earth not?! What's this about average inflation-adjusted household income decreasing since 1973? Don't bother me with that nonsense! I am the proud owner of two or three Segways which I will use once or twice! Away with you!

No, I'm sorry, there's a woman behind him in a white miniskirt and ankle chains who pushed him...

hiya, he just forgot to turn it on, hence the device falls over. it happens to many owners, but usually only once an usually not with camera people in your backyard. cheers, pt

Hey, I have a question: Who took these photos and from where? Was this the press corps peeking through the front gate. I mean, are they allowed to just hang out there and aim dark black objects at the President of the United States? What gives?

I know! It's like he's remembering that he can always go back to the bike with the training wheels if all else fails.

I love the fact that there's a little pink and purple bike behind him-- when he falls it looks like he's lunging for it.

Trying to ride with a tennis racket? - looks like the pres didn't attend the mandatory orientation. And he is also trying to jump on it instead of stepping on to it. What a spaz.

It looks like he did that thing where, when you trip on the stairs, you recover by running away from the spot, as if saying "that commotion you heard/saw? Wasn't me!" In any case, I hope you guys get as much swag as Tad Friend & Co did on Slate's Segway boondoggle.

i think dean kamen is probably being held in isolation by the secret service right now and being beaten every fifteen minutes with a wet noodle.

He seems to have gotten back up with the reflexes of a cat, so I don't subscribe to the intoxicated theory. Clearly, he's just made for our amusement.

He was intoxicated!
