Well, I think what I just saw was a mixture of:

1. A lack of (more likely a complete absence of) proper training.
2. Zero understanding of the physics behind how the Segway works.
3. Attempts at stunting and using the Segway in places and ways that it was never intended to be used.
4. A complete disregard of the machine as well as a lack of respect one needs to have of its capabilities in order to be a safe and happy operator.
5. People doing what they do best - being dumb.

If nothing else, this video did show how durable Segways really are. Some of those crashes weren't exactly gentle and it appears as if the Segways survived each and every one of them.
