I think the 'Don't turn while reversing' advice is more to keep from confusing the rider and not a describing a limit of the Seg's capabilities in any way. I make turns while backing all the time, but only at low speeds - Trying it while going faster throws off your sense of balance (yours, not the Seg's) because staying centered on the platform is difficult when the Seg moves in the opposite direction your brain is expecting from the control input you gave

I haven't tried it but I think if you stood on the Seg backwards and you could retrain your brain to steer in opposite directions, you could ride a Seg in reverse just as well as you can in forward - Kinda like riding the 'reverse bicycle'
