Unless you're taking a tour of a tech school campus, or you're a mall cop lording over a sea of shoppers, it's hard to feel cool while riding a Segway, and even harder to look cool when you crash!
Segways were advertised as the personal transportation of the future when first unveiled back in 2001, but they didn't catch on with the public as the manufacturers had hoped.
They may not have changed the world of personal transportation, but Segways are an endless source of amusement- for viewers who get to watch riders lose control and hit the pavement hard!
Anyhooo, to be fair, I drove myself a segway throughout Vienne, and it's very manageable.
There's a certain level of skill required to operate one of these machines. Just like a motorcycle or car. As for myself, I would probably be careful not to ride one beside a cliff's edge. But if I saw in the news that somebody drove off a cliff, I wouldn't stop driving my car altogether.
