I have ridden one for about a minute. I can say that when you first step on, you have no frame of refrence for how sensitive it is. You wobble for a bit, then you find your balence after a few seconds. I never felt like I would tip over, I just scooted back and forth.

Now, to get on and tip it over? That seems like a feat, if felt to me like you would have to run into it and use all your weight to get it to tip like that.

Maybe he just didn't have it turned on.
