This headline in today’s paper grabbed my attention.
When weren’t they a fall hazard? Just as a bicycle pretty much was a fall hazard, a razor, roller skates, skateboards…How did we survive? (I had a piece of pea gravel in my knee until college, the result of a bicycle mishap. One day it just popped out of my knee after it had been circulating there for years. That was fun.)
To be fair, there was a mechanical part on these Segways which could inadvertently cause the falling. I did read the entire article out of curiosity, so, I guess the writer did know how to catch my attention? I only rode one at The Garden of the Gods years ago. That was enough for me. Thank goodness I gave it up before I fell!
