Got to ride a Segway yesterday!

[Sukhoi]

The corporation I work at supplies a major part of the Segway, so we have one. I got to ride around on it yesterday...they are so fun to ride. It's amazing how little movement is needed to get them to go forwards and backwards. At first it was quite hard to get it to stand still.

I also liked the magnetic keys that were set to different maximum speeds. Automakers should adopt the idea so parents can stop their kids from driving 90 MPH around town.

Sounds like fun Sukhoi

Excellent idea

No. I have no idea how he managed to fall off like that.

..he tried to jump onto it apparently, just judging from the pictures. I think the balancing effect would only be effective if your body weight was on it, and you feet were planted... correct me if I am wrong Sukhoi....

I read he didn't turn it on. I've never seen one operated so I don't know if that's really plausible though.

I don't think he turned it on.

Bush is an idiot, he forgets things like that. He also forgets to chew and swallow properly. Amazing he got elected, no?

They do have gas pedal governors that prevent the gas from being hit too hard. Not a bad idea though.

"OK junior....55 is the max for you!" Then we'll have a whole generation of kids hacking their parent's cars.

I rode one a little less than a year ago and posted about it because I thought it was so cool, but I got flamed for it. I'm not loved

No, no you aren't. Now go back to that hole you crawled out of and leave us all alone you monster.

Yeah, jumping on it would freak it out. I would expect depending on how you landed either it would either do nothing, or take off straight ahead. Either way would make it hard to stay on.
