to the contrary, i think it might be a good idea to keep segways out of an area were they can harm people.

Segways ---- Should be allowed to operate where ever it wants, simply because A) there are different keys designating different speeds or my term driving modes B) they have less of a chance of falling over and hurting someone if dismounted (thanks to all the fancy dancy gyros inside =) C) there hasn't been any complaints or segway accidents or its noise polution --- which is very very low If anything The only law to go against the segway is that a lights / reflectors to be installed for round the clock use so that drivers may see you in the ever so changing weather.
Segway has been out for what 2 somewhat yrs now and I still haven't heard a renegade segway..... This is all a belated April Fools Day Hoax

unless segway stops selling the 'fast' keys, then it doesn't really matter that different keys designate different speeds. the keys only limit speeds if the driver uses them correctly. and i don't think that we have to worry about them falling over and hurting someone either. thats not the problem. neither is noise pollution. it has been stated again and again how quiet segways are. the problem is that segways are able to attain a (relativly) high speed, and are available to the public. while there hasn't been any segway accidents, eventually there will be. eventually, some nitwit who shouldn't be allowed out of his house is going to get his hands on a segway, and he's going to hurt someone.
