That pretty much speaks for its self. This isn't that severe, though.

I like the cat carrier idea.

I remember when Segways first came out, I was reading a pamphlet about them in 2002. And inside this pamphlet was a non-Photoshopped image of a worker in a warehouse on a Segway, towing a trailer with boxes on it. (It was also on the Segway website at one point about that same time period.) I can't seem to find the image online at the moment, but I'll keep looking.
It wouldn't be hard at all to adjust the segway to carry a trailer like that.

No one has ever even come close to falling out, losing control or tipping over any strollers and we run way faster than a segway can travel.
I've never ridden a segway, so that mom may be at risk for toppling herself over, but her kid should be fine.
Her falling off the segway isn't my problem. Nor is the stability of the stroller. What I'm worried about is the lady losing control of the stroller and the stroller rolling off into the road or something. That is what's so dangerous about it. One had on a stroller won't cut it.
