they could, but im pretty sure a jogger is abit more nimble than a segway. a human is a "holonomic". the segway is not.
so other than jumping over or dodging away, a jogger can make use of its "holonomicality?" and spin away while also dodging away to reduce the energy of impact. (if thats hard to understand, think, a hurricane doesnt do as much harm on one side of its path as on the other side)

that is a very irresponsible jogger. i run cross country and run the sidewalks everyday. i am not impaired of judgment just from fatigue.
and if you were to use irresponsible runners as an example, im sure there are few irresponsible segway drivers. if i change a few words from your argument, "a segway rider is most likely not going to be paying as much attention. their exhilaration gets their heart running and they are impaired because they are having so much fun..."
