btw, use spell check josephm. i have trouble figuring what you are trying to say sometimes
I have, I always get cought up in the action and forget to spell check...

Also, what he did wasn't a proper emergency stop. A proper stop is when the Seg is pulled back at any speed, and then you return to the straight-up position. He didn't' do this. He pulled back and then went forward again. The Segway was going too fast in reverse and did a safety stop (this is done to prevent the Segway from running away or causing more harm when a user falls off).
