Re: Segway Crashtest (I think)

I haven't been on any of the lean-steer Segways, though I've always thought the ride was fine.

I'm curious about the effect of the dummy's position on the platform, pretty forward from the video. Would a more central footing increase the chances of staying upright?

(By the way, getting hit by one really isn't all that bad. Don't ask me how I know.

)
