I didn't mean to start an argument. But assume a big truck passes you and the side-view mirror hits you in the back of the head.....

As you said, details would be useful. Having the correct combination of triggering factors for this device could be as complex as the control equations for the Segway.

Regarding "angle" - an interesting point. But I would hate to have the thing "go off" if I bent over to tie my shoes, or ....

And bike riders sometimes assume a quite-horizontal position.

Three footnotes:

1. If it deploys, it's done. Not reusable.

2. To the question of using it on a moped, skis, inline skates, skateboard, etc. - their answer is "No,...only designed for cycling". So, apparently not for Segways.

3. Apparently costs a bit more than $500.00
