Until Segways become common, Rorshach, it is all speculation.

I have no idea if a Segway has ever run over someone's toes,
I was commenting on the slant the market research person was
taking -- clearly only looking for good stories.

Good thinking guys, I'm glad you bothered to actually *learn* something about the segway before you started bashing it. Go search for some info about Segways running over people's toes and then come back here and post about it.

Things like this really anger me, regardless of the subject matter. Do your homework before you state your opinion.

Segways on sidewalks make a mockery of the "walkable community" idea. Okay, if they're fitted with 3 m.p.h. speed limiters, I can see a how they may be useful for mildly handicapped folks. Otherwise -- forget it! They belong on the street with the rest of the electric cars, bikes and scooters.

Kudos to San Francisco for banning these things from sidewalks. Most everywhere else in the U.S., it's going to take some painful and damaging collisions before people come to their senses.

We want to know how the actual owners use it in their
everyday life, whether it is saving time or helping them
get to and from work or running errands during their lunch
hour or just getting outside to see people."

I notice those are all positive things. Guess they don't want
to hear about it if you run someone's toes over.
