Yes, the one with the large traction wheels. I read 2 or 3
dif.pgs.with the report....I am figuring he either swerved to ovoid a
object or he veered too close to peer about, and the Segway
contrapulated on the terrain and lost traction skidding over the edge
with its momentum..there are not quickstop brakes on it., right???
Even so,what else could have happened?
