Segway Tipping Over
http://m3mm.com/SegwayCrash.wmv
Yes, they can tip over. Segway zealots will have a field day with this one. Their machine isn't so infallible after all. Windows Media Player 9 required for the codecs. If anyone thinks this is some obscure thing that will never happen, think again. Anything can happen. Cars were thought to be the best thing ever, until the first fatality. I could easily see something like this happening to a panicky rider when a little child (or any other obstruction) runs in front of their path. They'll immediately reverse, but then their natural reflex will be to stabilize themselves since they were caught off-guard. Hence, this. And, no, I'm not being mean. I'm being realistic. I think the Segway is a great invention, but everything has its limits. Last edited by Jnadke : 30-05-2003 at 07:49.
