Re: Segway Crashtest (I think)

John,
From what I could gather, the test was to see what injury might be induced by a rider contacting a vehicle. It seems that the tester indicated the injuries would be similar to a jogger in the same side crash at normal Segway sidewalk speeds. (I am not a german speaker just able to pick out some words.) The indication was also that at police speeds, the injuries would be greater. It is interesting to note that Segway misuse causes injuries just like bicycle misuse.
