Deputy injured when he and colleague crash their Segways

Their Segway tires locked together and they crashed. I'm praying someone got video footage of this. (Naples Daily News)

Maybe they need to switch to Big Wheels, or Tough Trikes.

Was "Yakkity Sax" playing in the background?

Both operators were trained to operate Segways. Speaks for itself.

Chicago cops love segways too. And horses. Presumably because they don't have to do anything physical; somehow they leave me thinking of Wall-E. Actually, come to think of it, their body types sometimes remind me of Wall-E, but maybe that's the bullet proof vests.

Hey ya'll; watch this!

The device was named for for its similarity to the word 'segue'.
"A smooth transition from one place to another".

Now play 'Yakkity Sax".

Do Segways come with training wheels? This pair could use 'em.

Sounds like the crash in the chariot race in Ben Hur... ooooo, would love to see that scene re-shot only replace the chariots with Segways!

Does this sort of thing happen to cops riding Segways in other states or only in Florida?

[lynn]

this is just my opinion; please no one get offended. but leo's tend to lose some of their"athoratay" when tootling along on a segueway or a bicycle.

if they can not be in a car or motorcycle, let them ride a horse!!

they will never get on "COPS" riding a segueway...
