Yes, I am surprised. You have frequently stated that the Segway doesn't have the greatest image among the general population. With the number of people trying to ban the Segway (and anything else that is new), I feel a list of accidents would serve quite well the purposes of those lobbying against Segways. PI attorneys are only a secondary concern to me.

As far as sweeping things under the rug . . . I think I've been quite vocal in my warnings as to the damage one can do to himself with only the briefest span of inattention, because of my significant experience in that area. In the last 15 months, there must have been a couple hundred posts exhorting users to take seriously all warnings re the dangers of riding a Segway. I can't believe anyone would ever say the dangers have been minimized on this site.
