Because of the Segways magicality, some people don't realise that you still have to watch out for obstacles, however I also observed people falling off from turns and bumps that wouldn't seem to be possible.

I don't think the videos hurt Segways much.
I do not agree, I think that most people see very little from segways when they are done well, so the positive images of segways is not very popular, or seen much at all.

These segway fail videos are fun and all, but with a vacuum of positive images, and a glut of negative images, they give the segway ignorant public a very inaccurate impression of how dangerous segways are.

Still, I do not think it is a major issue at all.
