What about riding Chris's point? Motorcycles get you from A to B just like a car, yet are significantly more dangerous. (and also MUCH more fun, just like a Segway)
Going back to sdcantrell56's point, I find it hard to believe Segways are incredibly dangerous. I'm sure accidents occur, and they can result in serious injury (although I would hazard most result only in scraped knees and injured egos). I took a 3.5 hour Segway tour in D.C. a few months ago for 60 bucks. One of our guides had been working for their a few months, the other for over a year. Neither of them had led a tour where someone fell off. I would think that if accidents were common (outside of our guide's experience) insurance premiums would be so high it wouldn't be profitable to run a Segway touring business.
And speaking of funky
patented inventions,
Skroback's Roadable Airplane is pretty out there.
