Let's call it risk assessment, let's call it situational awareness. Golly let us all use big words. Call it what you like/want and while common sense may be seem specific, less direct, it is clearly more understandable by many. (IMHO) the exercise of common sense is the basis of both...

risk assessment
and
situational awareness.

Since most of the responses have indicated that they have indeed worn a helmet on occassion.


In my "some helpful tips" which clearly is for new owners and beginner Segway users one is
expected to be inexperienced. As one gains expeerience (and that is best determined by the individual user themselves) a person may indeed choose to not wear a helmet.

I find teir uncomfortableness
at wearing a helmet to be a very flimsy excuse though. If your clothes (shoes, belt, hat, etc) are too tight or loose do you take them off and simply not wear a replacement. If your uncomfortable in your driver seat do you simply not drive. If your work place temperature or work environment is uncomfortble do you simplly do not work.
NO, you exeercise some common sense regarding these situations.



be safe
enjoy your glide...
