Go to Post Anyone know anything about a missing plastic flamingo from NASA HQ? I should mention before you answer that tampering with federal property, even if it's weird stuff from (Dave's) office, is punishable by painful delivery of ChiefDelphi negative rep points. - Rich Kressly [more]

It was the first time I have ever seen a weight limit at a Segway demonstration!

Well i would imagine that since this was public that they were following segway's printed specs to the letter. This was 1) so not to break their units, and 2) to give an accurate betral of the segway specifications.

It was more to do with the size of some of the participants at GENCON. I am not a small fella but these some of these guys need to get away from their games and exercise a little.

I am sure it has more to do with liability concerns than anything else (those *%@!&%$& lawyers!!). Since Segway LLC has published weight limits it would not be wise to exceed those in a public demonstration. Us owners know that the machines can easily handle WAY more than the published limits.

On a side note ... I was downtown for a business dinner on Thursday evening and saw some of those "freaks". Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to go to the show - I might have tried my hand at the Segway challenge ...
