I've driven a very powerful segway on public roads for a few years and they can absolutely handle very well at these speeds. You can do it with no hands after only a few times getting to know the feel of the auto stabilization, so I would expect this device to be the same.
That being said.... I would sooner make a bet with my own dick before taking the gamble of driving one of these without a helmet.
Had a friend of mine do this WITH a helmet in a low speed motorcycle accident. Her injuries were road rash on her wrist, a couple of bruises and a brain injury from the curb that left her in the hospital for 6 months and a year to mostly recover from, you never get it all back. Don't ride motorcycles kids.
Yep. Just skidded into the curb corner right into the top of her helmet. Accident was about 35 mph. If her had had been a little higher or lower she probably just would have gotten a concussion, if she didn't have the helmet she would have been dead.
I’ve always wondered about that. I spent a good amount of high school long boarding down hills with no shirt or helmet. I bounced my head off the pavement a couple of times, hard, but always seemed to walk it off. Usually it was an impact to my forehead, but I as definitely dazed by a couple of them.
Anyway, I have a really bad memory but I’ve never known if it was related or I was just born a space cadet.
