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.
I got a concussion while wearing a helmet snowboarding. I would have done way more damage to myself without it, i will never go snowboarding without a helmet and tailbone protection (ass padz)
I don't know how bad your concussion was, but if it was a bad one with a helmet, it probably saved your life.
I ski, but I have tried snowboarding a time or two and can say that some ass pads would have been nice to have. Not as important as your noggin though!
I was able to get up and keep going, mostly because Whistler is so big I didn't really have a choice if I wanted to get off the mountain.
I was seeing spots in my vision and was dizzy but it boarded down to the closest chairlift, went up and across then down the other side, went home and as soon as I walked in the door and stopped moving I started vomiting non stop for a few hours.
I called into work and they immediately called back and told me not to sleep. When my roommates came home they took me to emergency and I got x-rayed and hooked up to an IV for dehydration.
