Default segway rearview mirror ? ... umbrella ?

Hi. I am a new member of segwaychat. Sorry, I do not have yet Segway. But I am a very experienced cyclist and ride well on the rollers. I'm interested in your opinion on two topics: 1. whether there is a need to use the rear view mirror while driving a Segway ? 2. whether there is a need to use an umbrella against the rain or sun protection? I'm asking because I've constructed a universal mirror bicycle and bicycle umbrella and I wonder about the use of both of these structures to the Segway. My experience in skating shows the need for using a rear-view mirror. Especially in terms of this situation, when you are going to turn left - than you are looking back to check the situation behind you. But then instinctively you turn left and inadvertently you go to the middle of the road. It can be very dangerous maneuver. Whether a similar effect occurs while riding a Segway?
And in terms of an umbrella; whether it is worthwhile to consider the appropriate structure for the Segway, or are already on sale such umbrellas? If someone wants to see my constructions - you can see them on YT; unique bike mirror, bike umbrella presentation. I cordially greet and wait for your suggestions. Karol Dobrzyński
