Usain Bolt may be the fastest man in the world, but he turned out to be no match for a Segway.

A photographer at the World Championships in Beijing lost control of the Segway he was riding, leading to an interruption of runner Usain Bolt’s victory lap as he celebrated winning the 200-meter race for a historic four times in a row. The Segway-riding photographer takes out Bolt, and the runner’s legs buckle as he falls hard to the ground.

Fans gasped when the collision occurred, but Bolt rolled over and quickly bounced back to his feet, continuing his victory lap. According to For the Win, while Bolt suffered a cut on his leg from the incident, he claimed he was otherwise fine, saying after watching the video, "Oh, took me out! Bro!"
