How do you stop the world's fastest man? With a Segway apparently. 

Usain Bolt had few problems winning the 200-metre title at the track and field world championships on Thursday (Friday NZ Time) in Beijing, jumping out to a huge lead after 120 metres and easing past the finish line to take his fourth consecutive gold medal in the event.

But things didn't go as smoothly after the race. In what was clearly a dangerous incident, a cameraman following the sprinter on a Segway ran into a railing and crashed into the Jamaican sprinter from behind.

The Segway took the legs out of the world's fastest man as both he and the cameraman crashed to the ground. Fortunately both men were not injured and Bolt soon joking about the incident.
