After taking ME 2110 at Georgia Tech (the class you are discussing) I feel like the Segway is an interesting invention but it does have some safety problems (all sorts of everyday things have safety problem to though).

EDIT: After flipping through the list, I see that it is basically a list of 50 things that one person doesnt like.
