What parent in their right mind would condone / encourage his [any] kids to do that, let alone without a helmet.

"Go Out And Play In Traffic"

Now Parents must be saying "Take the Gen One Segway and get on the Trampoline"

What is this world coming to?

Now I know why I don't have kids....

I don't have room for a Trampoline! ;-)

Default Headlines...

... if that video showed that child fall and get hurt, it would likely be portrayed as the Segway's fault!

Yup, Segway should have worked harder to include those environment variables in the software and incorporate it into their test track.

Right. And those stupid parents would sue Segway saying that there should be a sign on the handlebar warning them not to ride the Segway on a trampoline. And then some equally stupid jury would award them millions of dollars.

Default Seg on Trampoline

Seeing the kids do it after the dad, just shows that Genes do pass down the chain. Makes me wonder what a video of the dad's father would have shown (if video had been around then). Somewhere in the gene set, the smart cord was shorted.

Default Parachute + Gyroscope = ?

So Karl-

What effect do you think an industrial strength gyroscope attached to a skydiver somewhare might have on his flight - if any. Would it add any stabilization- or maybe take some of the fun out.

Haven't any of you ever done anything foolish and survived? I have, but judging by many of your righteous comments, many of you have not.

You just said it all Sal.

I thank God every day that Segways cost what they do or this type crap would be all over the sidwalks.
