I took issue a couple weeks back with a Wall Street Journal story that suggested that high gas prices have convinced some significant portion of the world to ditch automobiles for Segways.
The real point of my post was that the “trend” — while significant from Segway’s point of view — probably wasn’t huge enough to be significant to any American who doesn’t own stock in the company.
But a lot of folks interpreted my post as an attack against the Segway or a recommendation that Americans would be worse off if they switch from vehicles to Segways.
At the time, I didn’t mean to recommend any such thing, but I’ve since learned the amazing dangers that Segways pose to unsuspecting riders.
Ouch!
Want more proof that Segways are killers (or at least injurers)? Look for more disasters here and here.
