On-stage injuries involving a Segway

Message Bookmarked

As we all know:

**On the Reise Reise tour, Flake Lorenz, the keyboardist from the German rock band Rammstein, rode a Segway HT during the song "Amerika" in a show in Gothenburg, Sweden. He accidentally ran into the band's lead singer, Till Lindemann, giving him a bad knee injury; consequently, Rammstein's Asian tour had to be cancelled.**

Please name some other injuries have resulted as a result of mixing Segway use and popular music, thank you.

The presentation of "Games Without Frontiers" from Gabriel's third self-titled album is given a technological update with Gabriel and daughter Melanie performing the entire song on Segway Human Transporters. They dramatically and stoically enter the stage on the vehicles and move through a carefully choreographed routine. Designed to highlight the cutting-edge of technology that Gabriel loves, the entire affair instead comes off both geriatric and robotic all at once. Hamilton, who famously employed the "Bono Cam" on U2: Elevation 2001 Live from Boston, again goes for the gimmick with what can only be described as the "Segway Cam", providing repeated spectacular shots directly up Gabriel's nose.
