It looks to me like it* either completely locked up, or went into some sort of fail-safe mode. It's knee buckles, and I wonder if there's some routine that says, "Well, the outer shell of this thing's pretty shock resistant, less chance of damage if I just fall rather than put incorrect pressure on the knee joint, so time to bail." It didn't make any more movements after the knee gave out, so either the power went dead or it purposely froze to prevent further damage.
I also want to know why this video is tagged with the keywords "Giant" and "Vegetation".
* I stick with "it" because I don't feel like assigning gender, I don't want to keep saying "Asimo," and English continues to lack a gender neutral pronoun that doesn't imply non-being status.
